Q: Do You Think You Are Pregnant?

I do not understand why young ladies like yourself are getting pregnant. Everything in your life changes, everything. I am married and I have a 17 month old and it is the best thing that could ever happen to me, but really who will be taking care of these babies. Are you out of school? Do you have a job? Do you have your own car? Are you married? Is the father going to be around? Do you have a home ( not your moms or grandmas). Do you understand how tough it is, how sacrificing you will become to this child. You have so much more of a life left. Mature young adults would never think about getting pregnant at such a young age because there are too many responsibilities involved. Mature adults wouldn't be having unprotected sex, it is unsafe. Girls just think if this pregnancy test would be an aids test. You would be horrified, scared and alone. Dont play with your life like this. If you don't take care of yourself and protect yourself he sure wont. Please be wise!

Its not that I don't agree with you. Just some of us took precautions and still..Here we are. I was on birth control, but things can still go wrong. We know how are its going to be (well, atleast I do..Sort of). Life isn't always beautiful, but all we can do is our best and hope for the support and understanding of others. Babies are miracles. They aren't mistakes just bad timing.

I'm 17.

Am about to graduate & go to college

am 6 months pregnant

i live on my own

i have a job

i have a car

*pats myself on the back*

the only reason young girls usually dont finish school & etc, is because they think they can't because of what other people tell them.

"your life is ruined"

bullsh*t my life is ruined, I have it better than most people do & it's all because of my own choices.

How easy is that? So freakin' easy.

I know why some girls dont finish school.. Some dont have money for daycare and some have to work.. But the system up here makes it so that girls can afford to put their kids in daycare and even have a part-time job while going to school. Tho I see some girls use it as an excuse not to go to excuse and it saddens me to see they think they'll be by just fine (tho some might) but hardly many will.

I have to agree with dalicialynn

everything you do is based on choices you make, either your lazy and live off mom and dad or you work hard and accomplish great things. I was in the same boat as her and im living really well but that was the choice I made cause I wanted my child to have everything...


I give credit to dalicialynn and others who are able to succeed its not easy but just keep pushing and you will make it!!

You can still go to school, im still doing my school because I transfered from a french school to an english school.

Everything you do in life is made by your choices and we learn from doing the wrong thing but children are beautiful and im sick of people saying how hard they are cause I wouldnt be having # 2 if it was that bad!!!
