One Big Choice

I was raped in August of 2007 at only 14 years old. I hid the fact of what happened to me, by wanting to hurt myself. I met a boy not for intimacy but to tell you the truth he saved my life. In May and July of 2008. I thought that having sex with him would hide above everything the fact of what happened to me. But no instead it hurt me more and I pulled away from him.

Only to help myself, since May I have not been myself I convienced myself sense this happened to me I could not be pregnant I persuaded myself it was everything else. Today in November I finally told both my parents everything, to the rape to the choices I made this summer. To find out I am pregnant this weekend 20 weeks.

I have not decided what I am going to do with myself or the baby. If I want to keep it or one day regret giving it up for adoption. The decision is not made. The only thing I wished I would have done was told my parents when it happened instead of hiding with what happened. Now it is all out and I am living with the one big choice for my future.

My name is Amanda I am 15 years old turning 16 in January. I never thought I would be in this situation. When I was younger I always wanted to be a doctor. Choosing to be an OBGYN and want more than anything to pursue that but don’t want this baby to interfer or stop my own goals. I thought about if I kept it I may still be able to be a nurse. Because around here it wont take long to get a nursing degree. But I am a sophmore and know that I still have to go to school.

Whether or not, no matter what is said or what I decide my decision will be. I will finish high school! I will be successful! I am not giving up! The only thing I wished I would have done and want everyonr to know is that hiding something away no matter what it is. Is not always the best thing. I will talk to anyone that can help me decide.

  • 2 miscarriages, now possibly pregnant. - by beth - (Tue, Dec 09 2008)
    when I was 15 I decided to have sex for the first time. it wasn’t at all what I expected and the guy and I were never together. then I was late, so I told him I thought I was pregnant. I wasn’t even 100% sure yet, and right off the bat he told me to get an abortion. then a week or so after I had a lot of bleeding and extremely bad cramping, and I looked it up and came to the conclusion that I had a miscarriage. he still doesn’t know to this day, though. I don’t think he deserves the right to know. then, over this past summer at the age of 17, I had been in a steady relationship for over a year. I didn’t even realize I was late at first. so I got a test but it came out negative. then a few days later I experienced the same cramping and bleeding as I had before. except, this time it was a lot worse. I could barely move it hurt so bad. so I talked to my mom about it and she told me she was almost positive I had a miscarriage. and she has had quite a few herself. I wasn’t even able to tell my boyfriend because everytime I went to tell him I broke out in hysterical tears. so, my friend had to tell him for me. luckily he was the complete opposite of the other guy. he was so supportive and caring. now, I am in a situation where I was 4 days late and had some spotting. but I took a test at 3 days late and it was negative. and then this morning I started bleeding more heavily, but I read that can be common in some early pregnancies, so I’m getting myself checked out soon. hopefully I did not have another miscarraige. I would be devastated. :/ [more..]
