Sometimes asking the why question is not the solution. It has never been a solution.

My sister is the only one who knows about my pregnancy so far, guess what she said? Well, she said, I must have an abortion before it even shows. I can’t, not now especially since they know about the baby……I am not denying that the pregnancy came as shocking news. I am not able to tell my mom as she cares a lot about her image as school principal and my dad is a very strict, respected man in the community. How do I go about it? I’m in my second month of pregnancy and I try by all means to hide it as no one notices. I believe that I am old enough though to be taking my own decision. The first thing that came to my mind after hearing that I was pregnant, was how will my father’s congregation act. I did think about my boyfriend but he never crossed my mind as much as my father’s church, my workmates, and my mother’s students.

I have really disappointed my family, but still, I don’t think of having an abortion…..
