Teen Abortion Issues

I’m 16 years old. My whole life I was going to wait to have sex till marriage. But I fell in love, and he loves me, and I love him, and weve been together a long time. But in August of 2009 I had unprotected sex because he said he would pull out, and he did, and I thought I was fine, and it was my first time. Well, in November I found out I was pregnant. I couldn’t tell my mom. My boyfriend was excited, and his mom was too, and I knew for a fact I wasn’t getting an abortion.

Well, my daddy is a preacher, and my whole family expects so much from me. They want me to go to a good college and make something of my life. My mom told me we would have to move and everything so nobody would know and my daddy would probally make me stop seeing my boyfriend since he’s older and he would charge him.

So it came down to telling my daddy and ruining everything but having something special or getting an abortion and keeping it between just me and mom. Well, my mom took me, and let me tell you it’s the worst thing ever. I actually passed out afterwards. It was awful. Then the cramping afterwards…it was terrible. Now every day I sit and think about it. I could be becoming a mother this summer. I’m not saying I’m going to go get pregnant again. I’m a lot more careful now, but I regret it, and if I could go back I wouldn’t have gotten it done. I think that if you’re scared to tell your parents, it’ll be ok, and you should NOT get an abortion. It will change you in ways that are not GOOD.
