..yah im back to tell that im really happy im pregnant.,after i wrote about my last blog later in the afternoon i took pregnancy test. and yes its positive..at first i really want to cry but as i look again the p.t i feel so overwhelmed...that i'm having my first baby..a day after that i gathered all the strength and confidence to tell my aunt. and as expected she really got angry... she so furious! that you cant even imagine how she said those words i never thought she could.they are all blaming me. she told me to have an abortion, but i never agreed..  they did all the things that could push me to go through abortion. they separate me from my boyfriend with no communication at all, they said that even my cousins will suffer if i didn't agree., but i never gave up. i talked to my cousins and they said they'll understand whatever my decision is, and so i continued my pregnancy... well that's not all.. last Saturday I accompanied my cousin Irish, to the hospital to visit her brother.. she told me something i could never imagine.. well she told me this because maybe she knew already that her secret will be safe with me..so here it was.. when we we're in high school after graduation to be exact she got pregnant, with her boyfriend of course . but i don't know  whose guy cause she has so many boyfriends out there,(by the way we're just at the same age we're both 16 that time) when she learned about it, afraid to tell her parents, she had an abortion..she drinks pills every time she feels or thinks she's pregnant..without her boyfriend knowing it.and the shocking part is the time i told my aunt about my pregnancy was the time she was 3month pregnant! so it means she ahead 1 month of me in terms of pregnancy! but the sad part was.. she again did what she must not do.!, she aborted her baby.. she took so many pills to kill her baby..my heart almost broke when i heard that... i cant imagine she's too mean to do that again..well she said that the baby was to his ex bf, and her bf now thought it was his, he never knows the truth..i just felt so pity and sad for her baby..:( the annoying part is that my cousin Irish, always  upset me every time she recalls my mistake about my pregnancy to show how much she's higher than me, that's why my family can't move on and still blames me.they are always proud with Irish.. not knowing what she did was worse than what i did..because at least i kept my baby unlike her, she killed her angel and know she acts like angel to our family like she will never do what disappoints them :'( sucks! i hate her but i keep my promise that i won't tell anyone bout it :( i know God knows i did the right thing:) and no regrets:) i'm 9 weeks pregnant now:) i'm so blessed to have this baby inside me:) TO GOD BE THE GLORY

What teenager ever thinks she would be a mother by the age of 17 let alone a mother of three by the time she was 21? A bet a lot of them don't. I know I didn't. At the age of 16, I became just another teenage statistic, a statistical momma. That was in 2001. Back then there were no TV shows of teenage pregnancy glamorizing the epidemic or even TV movies like "The Pregnancy Pact" to scare the thoughts of having babies out of young girls' minds. Those things didn't come along until I was 22 and two kids later. If I would have saw those shows back then, I would have definably gave sex a third and fourth thought .

I was young and naive. You never think it would happen to you. I am so tired of seeing these girls from 16 and Pregnant being thrown all around in the media and being paid major cash to be a statistical momma. I work hard for to take care of the babies I brought into this world and trust me when I say I have sacrificed everything for them. Is it fair that so many teenage parents are struggling and they get to be put on a pedestal for going through the "babymomma" and "babydaddy" drama. I don't think so. Why not try to help these teenage parents be all they can be and be role models for their children. Give them some counseling and some skills training, instead of teaching them to pose for a magazine cover. These are just some thoughts. We all know what sells. So can you expect anything more?

Everything began in July of 2005. Everything was going great, I had met the guy of my dreams. But, we had decided a little to soon that sex would be a big part of our relationship. I loved him, so I did as much as I could for him.

It just so happens that in August of 2005, I was put on Yaz by my doctor for my irregular periods and heavy bleeding with very painful cramps. Chirs (the boy of

I had an abortion not over a week ago. That was the biggest regret of my life. I had my heart set on keeping my baby. Just to hold my baby and play with my baby and most important, to love my baby. Thats all i had asked for. When i found out i was pregnant, it was a shock to me. But i knew what i wanted to do - keep it. My boyfriend didnt agree with this, he wanted to keep i tbut he said it wernt

Let's see...where to begin......

Feb 28 2006...I remember it just like it was yesterday. The day I became really sick and couldn't get out of the bed for a week. I didn't know what was wrong with me, I thought I was dying. I was 19 and in my second semester sophomore year of college.

Getting Older

Posted by alexanders_mama in i made that choice

It's funny, but I feel old talking to some people on standupgirl. They may be older than me, but their children are younger, and I can somehow look at them and say -- wow, I was once in that position.

Not just on standupgirl. It's funny, even talking to a forty-year-old with a two-month-old, I feel a little bit older. In no way can I call it superiority, just more experience: and
