Graduating High School

Once my doctor released me to resume normal activities, 8 weeks after the baby was born, the school no longer sent a home bound tutor. Since I already had all the credits I needed to graduate, my plan was to get a job instead of going back to school. All of my required classes had …

The Baby

I was due on Christmas Day, but it didn’t happen. I still hadn’t had the baby when Christmas break was over so I went back to school. I was so miserable. I was huge and walking up and down stairs and through crowded hallways was no easy task. Plus, being high school, nobody was exactly …

Rage & Rebellion

By the time I hit 13 yrs old, I had so much anger pent up inside of me that it was starting to simmer over. I hated pretty much everybody and any little thing could set me into a violently aggressive rage. I remember times when I’d wake up so angry in the morning, that …

Silly little girl

Continued from apr 16..... So I assume he’ll feel the need to come up with some sort of explanation when he gets back “from work” and I’m gone. He has to know I’m pissed about something because I don’t normally just leave and not come home at night. So I wait to go home until …

He’s Working?

I know it’s been awhile since I posted...but I’m just going to pick right up where I left off. So, I’m now 17 years old, a senior in high school, pregnant, living in an apartment with a boyfriend who won’t work. I’m going to school all day and working a second shift job after school. …

Breaking it to Family

So, after taking a few pregnancy tests with the same results, I knew it was true. I needed to tell my parents so I could go to the doctor, but I was terrified. Not because I thought they would hurt me, but because I knew how disappointed and angry they'd be. My mom was always …

Boys are Stupid

Ok, so this is random. It's going on in my life right now though, so I'm hoping to get some advice. I have a boyfriend who I've been dating on and off for about 3 years. He was kind of a rebound and things have never been great. First he lived with me, but got …

Junior Prom

It was getting close to time for my Jr Prom. I didn't want to go because, as I've stated previously, my boyfriend was a nightmare to take anywhere. My mom was really determined for me to go and kept telling me how much I'd regret it later if I didn't. I finally caved and decided …

God, mom, I’m 17!

His parents kicked him out in the middle of the winter. In the middle of a blizzard. It was soooo cold and he didn't have anywhere to stay. I begged my parents to let him stay at our house. They didn't even pause to give it a thought. NO! HE'S NOT STAYING HERE. I was …

I Hate People

FThis is why I hate people.... My cousin passed away on Friday. He'd been in a really bad car wreck almost 20 years ago and has been quadriplegic with a traumatic brain injury ever since. He was ready to go after struggling for so long. I thought I was prepared because we've known this was …
