Why do we have to grow up right now?

Apr 06, 2006 12:05

I just found out a lovely of mine is pregnant. I will keep her identity safe for right now for her sake. But she is like (and always has been) like my sister. Many people have even mistaken us for actual sisters. But she's pregnant, and that is so beautiful but so tradgic at the same time. She does not have the money in the first place to even take care of her loved one right now (who is not even helping her at all, I don't care what excuse is created for him), how does she have the money to add to the list of her dependees? Pregnancy should be a beautiful thing, and not a burden. A beautiful little piece of yourself growing inside your belly should be cherished, not relinquished. But she's not my only childhood friend who is pregnant. There are three others, all who I've known from atleast Middle School. One is a year or so younger, the other two are barely a year older than me. It's so frightening. They're all growing up so fast. I know I'm definately not ready for any of it. I forced myself ready to live 700+ miles away from my mother, how can I expect myself to be ready for a child?

It's all so terrifying. Well, I'll just continue playing it safe with Billys life time supply of condoms. ^ ^ Also, sometime in May I will be going to visit a Gyno to hopefully get on the pill so we'll have pills and condoms. ^ ^
