Q: No Hard Feelings!

Hey I noticed over the weekend (i wasnt in the forum) alot of people were not getting along and saying that alot of us were being hard.

Thats how some of us are. If you come in here and you are 17, 18, 14, 24 and you are having unprotected sex, using the "withdraw method" (which isnt even a method anyways) and are freaking out because you might be pregnant. We all are going to remind you to get a condom, get on birthcontrol, or even tell you you are too young for sex. You might not like it, but you will hear it.

We arent bitter or acting like mean b*tc#es, but we have all been there and we know better. Its for your own good. If you talk to us more, you will find out we are nice and helping you out.

Again we are not trying to be mean so no hard feelings but dont take it wrong if we give a reminder or little lecture.

No not just to you darling. And I i know what your going through (i've been there), sometimes its hard to listen to people be "real", I know when I was pregnant the last thing I wanted was someone telling me I should have have unprotected sex. Once again let us know how your getting on!

I know what you mean!! And im in the other forum under pregnancy and barons girl is still having unprotected sex and wondering if shes pregnant. Well of course she might be!!! I was thinking she would wait until she knew but shes not helping by having sex...And unprotected to top it off. Pulling out is not a method! No matter what he says!

No your right it certainly isn't. I understand if your using protection and still get pregnant of if the condom happens to break but if your continuing to have unprotected sex what do you expect. It's not that im judging these girls I just wish they would think about what theyre doing because it can be so dangerous and devastating.

Couldn't Agree More!
I know what you are saying. I keep going into these room and seeing girls saying "i didn't use protection" or "he pulled out" or "the condom broke."
fact is, is there is no way to fully protect yourself then to wait until the age where you know that in case the inevitable happened, you would be mature enough to handle it. I know. I am 21 and had my kids at 17 and 19. I know what it is like to go through all of that, but now, it's like I want to beat the sense into these girls. They just really don't know what they are getting into. With my first daughter, I had the typical guy who said he would be there and love my daughter and support us. He hasn't been around in 4 years!!!!! My son who was born when I was 19, I have been with his father for 4years and we are happily married. But it's getting insane. I wish I could just have a huge conference and get all these girls for a day to sit and listen to what really happens after you get pregnant that young. I mean, yes, children are beautiful and they love you, but it doesn't take away the fact that you lose your social life, your high school year, your friends, everything is for that child. I don't want to preach either, but I wish they would open there hearts and minds and listen to the ones who have been there and use common sense. Protect yourselves!

I couldnt agree with you more! I would love to do a little "teen camp" for girls and teach them all about it. Even have those electronic babies that cry so they can know whats its really like. I wish I had the money to do that! You know, interview girls, give them a baby and a room. Have them there for a week to see if they still want babies or hold off. And during the week teach about sex, std's problems things like that. Its just a thought...
