Hi everyone...I'm new here.
I made a new account for joining some communitys, this one included...its not excalty something I care to share with the world.
Anyway...This is my story...
Imagine this scenario. An immature 15yr old, who is pretending to be 3 years older to hang around with people she thinks are who she wants to be with.
She's in love with a boy, who is 5 years older than her, and doesn't know it.
They end up on the floor of his friends bathroom, all liquored up, and don't speak afterwards.
This was me, a little more than a year ago.
I found out i was pregnant about 3 weeks after the fact. I had a weird feeling since that night, and as soon as I was late, I went to the the clinic and found out the truth.
I never had any other idea in my mind of what I wanted. I was young, he was old. It was illegal. I was not about to let my life be over at the age of 15. Except in my town you had to be over 18 to have an abortion without your parents consent. So I had my buddy drive me to the next town for all my appointments.
I never wanted to tell the father, just for the fact I had never even spoken to him before or after our little fling. He ended up finding out through a mutual friend, and luckily, supported and encouraged my decision. We even dated for five months after the abortion. He also came the day of the operation, and held me while I cried and fretted about doing the "right thing". He was there to hold my hand in the waiting room, and to drive me home after the fact.
Afterwards I felt relief and some regret. Once in a while I wonder how things would be if I had made a different choice. But I know I made the right decision and am happy I had the courage to go through with it.
