It was the beginning of our matric year and we were excited and carefree. Both deeply in love with the men of our dreams. Nothing could touch us. Or so we thought.
I was lying in bed with my boyfriend and decided to onto Mxit (a cellphone instant messaging service). When I saw my friend was unhappy, I asked her what was wrong.
“I think I’m pregnant” came the reply.
>My heart went out to her and the minute we got back to school, I was by her side. Her being too scared to go to the doctor and me being the one who did Biology, I explain as best I could the options and their pros and cons. Until it came time to make the decision.
Her boyfriend wanted her to keep it. He said he’d marry her and they could be happy. But she felt too young to be mother and more then that she felt too ashamed to go home and tell her parents that their little girl was pregnant. So she did what she thought best, she went against her boyfriend’s wishes and terminated the pregnancy.
That’s when both our lives came to a halt, well almost. When she woke up, all she could do was cry…for days and day and days. Eventually, she seemed to feel a bit better but the spirit of the girl she was before didn’t gleam in her eyes anymore. But I didn’t expect it to, she’d just suffered two great losses. Her child and her boyfriend.
What did surprise me however was the way I felt. It was weird, I just couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that the tiny life that was inside her was no longer there. It was then that decided I was pro-life no matter what. And not long after, she said the same.
She still mentions the child sometimes, comments on how old they would be. I don’t think she’ll ever forget it.
Dear little babies,
I decided to start letters to you. I will probably never give them to you but who knows. I am 5 months pregnant right now. I feel you both moving. I have started an internet school so I can stay home. I am living with a nice guy and he tells me that you guys are blessings. I don’t know yet what I will do after you are born. Will I give you up or keep you? I don’t think I would be able to love you without somehow hurting you. Not physically of course. I mean how will I tell you that you were conceived out of rape. My parents who are your grandparents wanted me to get an abortion but I wouldn’t. They kicked me out. You have an uncle on the way and have 2 aunts and 1 uncle already. Well, I am done for today.
I love you
Your mom
I have a one-year-old baby already called Ellie-May and I’ve recently just found out that I’m pregnant again.
I don’t want an abortion, but I’m not quite sure if bringing the baby into this world is the right thing either., I don’t know if I could give it the best life it could have. I’m away at college and work a lot and I already have one child. I don’t know if having another one is the right thing to do. And to be honest, I’m actually quite scared of going through childbirth again.
Please could someone sort of help me out here?
Chelseaa -ox .
Wondering if anyone has ever been there,
a place for pregnant teens and they help you out and stuff.
I’m scared to go there.
Hey, I Need Some Advice.
I’m 14 Years old and I Got really drunk at the weekend and me and this lad who I have fancied for ages had sex and now I’m scared because I think I might be pregnant. I went to see the nurse and she told me I have to wait till 8 days. I’m really scared in case I am. How could I tell my mom?

Hi everyone. :]
I’m 15. I may not be exactly like all of you. But I am almost positive I can find ways to relate. I love to read. I’m extremely social, more than most people. in high school, I play soccer and softball. but in grade school, I played basketball, softball, soccer, kickball, and volleyball. So as you can see- I love sports. My favorite teams are the Chicago bears and the Chicago Cubs. :] My two younger siblings mean the world to me, really.
I’m not pregnant. And I don’t really know what else to say about that. I just love helping people and I want you all to feel open to talking to me. <3
