I just found out that one of my old friends is pregnant. Normally I would be happy for her, but in this situation im not!!! Ok, i'll tell you the short version of her story:

she (cheryl) moved here from england about 3 years ago, I thought it was so cool when I met her, the whole accent and how different her culture was from ours (money, and food and all that) well anyways, we got to be quite good friends. She was here for 2 years, and I found out one day (when she had come to school with bruises and all that) that her dad was beating on her. She didn't want to talk about it. So she decided to move back to england to live with her mother once again. I was sad that she was leaving. Well why wouldn't I be? I was losing a good friend. But I realized that she couldn't live here anymore. So anyways she moved back about a year ago. I talked to her a few times after that, and in this time I found out that she had gotten a new boyfriend, was now living with him, and was heavy into the drugs. I was disappointed that this was where she was taking her life, but I figured it was her life, and she wouldn't change it for me or anyone.

Well today I just found out from her brother (who lives here) that shes 2 months pregnant!! And still into the drugs im about 99% sure... I can't believe this. I don't understand why she would let herself get like this...And to put her unborn child at risk like this. It makes me so sad . I haven't talked to her for at least 7 months now, but I wish I could. Just to ask her what her plans are, and if shes even thinking about this baby at all. Well anyways, thats the news that I thought I would share. Sorry to vent!!
