Maybe a baby?

Hi! I’m Lily, I am (almost) 14 years old, and I think I might be pregnant.

I’m one of those girls who people would pass in the street and say to my mother "It’s so refreshing to see such a dedicated young girl these days." (Most of the time I think it’s just because I happen to enjoy reading and have my nose buried in my latest book.) I’m the kind of girl that teachers adore and parents talk about as an example when reprimanding their kids. The kind that people always expected a lot out of.

And yet… I’m still the one who snuck her boyfriend in and out of the house on several occasions, never used a condom, and is probably by now, as Juno would say, "fo shizz up the spout".

I cringe when I think of what people will say when I tell them, of the looks people will give me as I walk down the street with a 7-month pregnant belly. And what my parents will say when I tell them! I can’t even imagine. (See, my dad has a really bad temper problem. He once saw a boy braiding my hair, and he lost it. :unsure: )

Anyway, I came here to find girls like me who will understand what I’m going through. Hopefully I’ll make it through this

a) alive,
b) with some new good friends.

🙂
