I was a 15-year-old sophmore in high school, soon to be 16 in 3 weeks, when I found out that I was 9 weeks pregnant. My mother had it in her head that I was going to have an abortion the moment the doctor dropped the news on us. My boyfriend was so happy until I told him my mother wanted me to get an abortion. He begged me to keep the baby, but I was just too afraid to go against my mother. He reassured me that he supported me no matter what decision I made, but I could tell he was hurt that I was going to have the abortion.

2 weeks later I had an abortion. I regret it so much, and til this day it hurts me just as much as it did the day I had it. I wish that I would have taken more time and thought it over. My boyfriend is still with me and has been great with the support. Abortion can scar you emotionally. I feel like if it wasn’t for my mother basically forcing me to do it, I wouldn’t have done it. It is the biggest regret I have.
