Living with Teen Pregnancy

My niece is pregnant and only 14 yrs. old. Her boyfriend is 17—3 years between them. She will be 15 on Christmas and not living with her mother; she’s living with her grandmother. I am VERY UPSET and DISAPPOINTED. I am ANGRY and SAD. I have not thought about her being pregnant at 14–14!!

What kind of life is she going to provide her child and what kind of support is her loser boyfriend going to give her and this child. Our whole family almost lost her to alcohol poisoning just this past winter—Her boyfriend left her for dead as she started to convulse and her only friend that REALLY CARED called the police for an ambulance. And she thinks this is LOVE.

I am not happy one bit that she is pregnant. For she thinks this is funny is some way that she is 14 and pregnant. And somehow thinks this loser boyfriend will be there for her and this child in years to come. he is already trying to control her and we all know what happens when there’s control issues already. I am not supportive of this even though my mother has asked me too!!

She has lied to my parents about having sex to begin with and that just makes me very angry. They have taken her in and has had numerous conversations about the “birds and the bees” and she has lied straight faced to them. What kind of life is she going to have?? A life on welfare–she isn’t even old enough to legally drop out of highschool and she just started grade nine. Her boyfriend is happy that he knocked her up, I think it’s sick to be happy about getting a 14 yr. old pregnant. He’s ruined her life. She’s going to be missing out on all the things a TEENAGER should be doing in highschool.

She thinks this is all fun and games. But in reality a fetus is growing to a young teen and never asked to be a part of her and her boyfriends game.
