- “Hi Dawson! I know what its like to be pregnant and not know what to do... I was 15 when I had my son Aiden. I didnt know who I was going to tell or even what I was going to do. My dad was the first person I told... Every girl has the thought are my parents going to kick me out. And the answer to that is No. If your parents care about you as much as they always tell you they do they will take you in deeper... My mom was more mad than my dad was but they were there and helped me make all the hard decision you have to make... I wanted to graduate from high school so I had the hard decision of if I was going to keep my son or not... I eventually came up with the decision to have my brother adopt him and that way I can still see him and so he knows that I am his mom...” - Sara
- “hi there I ended up pregnant when I was 18 years old I am 32 now but I remember How scared i was and though i had to marry the father of my baby my dad kept telling me i did not need to marry him just because i was pregnant well we did go ahead and get married but because we were so young we were not mature yet And had lots of issues And then an my daughters first bday he left me he cheated on me I want to tell teenagers to wait till your married I made the mistake and yes it hurt bad I love my daughter yes but now she is hurting to because not all the time do teenage couples stay together after having a baby out of wedlock” - Stephanie
- “Okay so we have heard the young pregnant person’s side of the story but what about the babies side of the story. Being born to a young unwed mother I can relate. How do you explain to a child when they can't have or do the same things that other children their age are doing. For example, not getting to do gymnastics, cheerleading, playing sports, having nice clothes, etc. because mom doesn't have the money. That is selfish and irresponsible. The health department hands out birth control everyday. Asking for birth control (fyi: health departments have a confidentiality code) is no harder than having to tell your parents you are pregnant. Also, take these comments for example, they show how uneducated these young people are and they need to be getting the education they need to help support and raise a child before they start having children. You can have children when there is nothing else to do, and you have lived a little and done the things you want to do. I have taken responsibility into my own hands to avoid pregnancy to be able to give my future children all the things I didn't get to have or do. I don't think abortion is the best choice because there are many other choices (also multiple abortions can lead to future problems when a woman is ready to get pregnant). Young adults need to be educated on these choices so they can start making more educated, unselfish, responsible choices.” – Brandi
