I am so sorry you are put under this stress at this point in your life.
But you aren't alone.
My best friend had her first kid as a senior in highschool. She was kicked out of her mom's house and lived with her dad until she and her BF could afford a place of their own. She has since had a second child, an abortion, and a stillborn. She has remained strong, and I have remained supportive of all of her choices. She couldn't imagine life without her children. She is finishing school and has an amazing job. It has been hard, but it is doable.
My other friend had her first kid at the age of 15.
And my other friend had her first child at 16.
They have all been through some tough times, but they have all pulled through.
I have been in your situation (almost) at one point.
My boyfriend and I were engaging in sexual activity a couple of years ago when I was 17 and the condom broke (and neither one of us knew it until things were "over") I don't know how I managed to do it, but my BF and I sat my mom and his dad down THAT NIGHT and told them what happened.
Instead of being angry my mom made me some tea, hugged me and told me she would be there for me. I didn't end up getting pregnant, but it was the hardest month of my life wondering what would happen.
My mom, suprisingly enough, was there for me.
I hope everything works out for you, Jess. It is obvious that everyone here is rooting for you. PM me if you'd like. |
