My Struggle with Teen Pregnancy
Finding Out
I found out I was pregnant. It was at the doctor's office and I didn't even physically see that I was pregnant, I was only told. I was supposed to be getting a new form of birth control, which would have been the implant, and I was not looking forward to it. My grandmother was devastated upon finding out because I was only six days away from turning seventeen and I had been in my senior year, so I was thinking about colleges and work. She called my grandfather and he didn't even want to talk to me. I had to tell my stepdad at the house, whom I was living with due to the recent passing of my mother. His reaction was one I never wanted to hear. He was the one to argue and belittle everyone but himself. Claiming it didn't happen on his watch, my boyfriend didn't even have a job, I was going places, etc. Everyone besides my stepdad and my boyfriend's mother had pushed abortion every day until I made up my mind.
