i got pregnant at 17 and knew for sure i wasn’t keeping the baby. it was the summer and i just got done with my junior year of high school. i had a lot i still wanted to do with my life and school wise i wasn’t even done with high school.

the father who i thought loved me abandoned me and accused me of sleeping with other guys and he has another girlfriend who started spreading lies about me. i continued to be the mature one in the situation and keep my head up high.

i couldn’t afford to pay for the abortion at the time but my mom was supportive of my decision and help me as best as she could. i don’t regret my decision, although people were pressuring me, i would never bring a child in the world if i couldn’t take care of him or her. feel no regret for your choice, you’re the one that has to live with it.
