  7. Teen Pregnancy Stories…. • My name is Tia, and I am 14 and 25 weeks pregnant. I was only with my boyfriend Brian, who is 15, for 2 weeks when we started having sex, we never used a condom, he pulled out for a little bit but we just stopped, we were convinced there was no way I could get pregnant. But after we were sexually active for a couple months we found out I was six weeks pregnant . I told my mom first, she was very understanding and told me she would help me, I was happy that she was so understanding. When Brian told his parents, they refused to let him see me and his mom kept pushing him to ask me to get an abortion, but we both knew that wasn't going to happen. His mother was convinced we were ruining our lives and still wouldn't let him see me I was devastated. His mother moved out of his house a week after I found out I was having the baby. When I was 15 weeks pregnant Brian's father aloud me to see him again, but I had to go to his house and only on weekends after supper, it still stucked, but I was happy that I was able to see him again and that his father let him come to the next ultrasound with me, when we found out we were having a baby girl. I am now 25 weeks pregnant and nothing has changed about me and Brian seeing each other which is hard but we are still going strong. I am impatiently waiting the arrival of Amber Jennifer. She will be here July 30th, and even though things get hard every time I feel her kick me and move around in my belly it gives me strength to hang on . Tia

  8. Continued Stories… • I Got Pregnant When I Was 17 and had my son when i was 17 . I am 18 Now and today is my birthday. My Son will be 4 months tomorrow. I am so happy that I’m a mother. My son's father does nothing to help me because he’s worried about keeping his girl friend. but when she’s not around he wants to play daddy role and I don’t have time for that. So I just keep my distance cause at the end of the day he’s the one that’s going to be missing out not me. My son will know exactly who his mommy is. I've graduated school early so now I’m just waiting for September to come so that I could be enrolled in college. I’m going to attend city tech college because they have both of my majors and they also have child care so my son will be able to come with me to school and i work at a day care so he will be able to come with me to work. I mean some mothers out there have it hard and I encouraged them to strive and never give up. because as soon as u give up you show your child that you are a failure and you don’t want that to happen because then they can become one too and we want to stop this cycle of teen dropouts in school. I love being a single teen mom. cherish it girls !!!

  15. Abortion Stories…..From Pregnant Teens…. TEEN’S ABORTION FORCED BY MOM’S WORDS 20.04.2011  I am 18 now. My ex and I were having unprotected sex all summer of 2010. I found out I was pregnant 3 days after school started. He dumped me on our 5th month and the day I found out how far along I was. I told my mom made me choose to live with her or leave. She called me a slut, stupid, and a bitch. My dad wanted me to keep the baby, but on the 26th of Sept. I had an abortion. Before they started I was crying, and I kept mouthing, “Stop, stop, stop” before it, but the words wouldn’t come out. I hate myself more each day. My mother is pregnant now, and she said her baby’s life is worth it and my baby was trash. I tryed to kill myself back in October/November. I live with my dad, and I have no interest in having sex or guys or girls. I have like no life left. I wish I could take it all back. I would have had my baby by now. My dad bought me a puppy to focus all my mommy love on, but it’s not the same. If you are thinking of having an abortion I suggest you wait and don’t listen to others. I was forced by my mom, and I will never forget her calling me a bitch, or a slut, or saying my baby wasn’t worth life.
