Well, lets see. My boyfriend and I both went to a christian school. He was senior this year and I was a sophomore. We broke up shortly before I found out and we are still broken up at the moment.

I am very into athletics. I played basketball, ran track, played golf, was a cheerleader and a football trainer both years in highschool. Although I wont be going back to my highschool because pregnant people are not welcome. So I have to leave all that behind. I would like to major in athletic training, and anatomy and whatnot and be a coach someday.

My parents know and freaked at first but are now used to the idea and my mom is actually a little excited. Lol. My little sister, laura(13) is very excited along with my little brother daniel(9). My older brother was very sweet and took it very well (christian, 19).

So yeah, my exboyfriend and I are trying to work out our problems so that we can one day be a family and even if this dosent happen he is fully willing and excited to help pay for things. Oh yes, our 2 year anniversary would be in november. So who knows...

So thats me in a nutshell.

Love,
megan

It sounds like you have a great family that is very supportive of you! Hopefully your friends will be supportive too, when they find out! How are you handling all of that? I know I always go to my friends before I go to my family, so with them not knowing i'm sure its hard! Have you just not told them or you havent been hanging out with them so they dont know? Sorry about all the questions! Everyone likes to know everything on this board...Haha! Good luck with everything! I hope you hang around! Oh...And do you have any pictures?

Thats really awsome when you can go to your family before your friends!! I admire that about you. You are very lucky to have family like that, and brought up knowing you can go to them. I wish I felt that way when I was younger. I really hope my little girl can feel that way about me! Its hard getting kids to understand they can always come to their family for help and support. I hope you can tell your friends, and they they really are true friends and will stick with you!! But you did find a good group of internet friends right here! Keep us updated, we would all love to hear what you are having, and getting to know you better!! Smile

by the way, my name is stacey, i'm 24 years old, i'm 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby, still with the father, but not sure how that will go (long store). I live in los angeles california.

Welcome to the forum!!

Lol - I didnt expect that many people to respond. Well to answer all y'alls questions. I havent told my friends yet atleast not most of them (i've told a few of my very close friends) because it isnt really excepted by them. And so i'm telling the few that I really care about and then I figure the rest of them are gonna know anyway so you know.

I go to church, and the headadministrator at my school goes there along with half of the teachers. And as soon as they all find out we are gonna be practically kicked out of of our own church. Just to give you a little idea of how looked down upon that is in my area.

But I have a few really good friends who are excited and still love me and I figure if the other ones dont like me anymore. Its their loss and they were never a real friend in the first place.
