The Hardest Times

Lets face it, some guys know all the right words to get you just for one thing. When you have unprotected sex, choice comes with consequence. I made that choice with my ex just before graduating high school. There I was, a pregnant graduate. My ex abandoned me as soon as we made the choice to abort. After a night out knowing I was changing back to the wild me, my ex & i changed thoughts. Sooner than I knew it, we were back together, but he was furious. I was yet furious with myself for drinking one last time. I was 6 weeks along.

Months went on, and they weren't worth going back to. I worked through the summer, tried college, and lived away from home. He slacked off in college and continued his wild ways away from home too, constantly reminding me of my last time out. Little did he know, every single night, I'd sing to the baby and pray to God it'll be okay. A healthy baby is all I wanted. "Take the father away from me, if you have to God."

After 1st semester, I flunked horribly. My ex was a partial blame, but I blamed myself for sticking up with it. Two months later, our daughter was born. She was so beautiful and perfectly healthy! I thank God tremendously. The first two months were amazing. He was a dad, I was a mom. Yet, it wasn't long till he was who he was before, an alcoholic. Two months passed, and with a two month old daughter who deserved the world, I finally let him go.

Two years later, my daughter is blessed and striving. I've raised her in my parents home till she was 1, moved out, and just finished a 1st semester of college with a 4.0. I no longer use alcohol since we moved out, and am able to pay the bills and support her precious life. I've also become a christian, and have yet to strive in my newfound life.

My ex is still an alcoholic, still lives at home, and still works at the local grocery store. This was him two years ago.

All in all, my ex is not horrible. Despite his choices, he is still there for our daughter. We remain friends, but he expects with benefits. I've refrained from making that choice ever again, for along with my daughter's life, I know I deserve better too. I just wish he knows what's been missed, and that he should quit thinking there's a chance for us. He's still in the same spot where he left me, a spot I will never cease to exist for him to have again.

Ladies, save yourself the hard times. I set a trail upon myself to last my whole lifetime. These have been the hardest times I thought to never know. Now you know...

17 and pregnant by a guy who fooled me.

Hello my name is Khloe. My story begins with me dating a guy named Chayce. Chayce and I began dating my junior year of high school, i was 16 and he was 20. He was the first boyfriend i had ever had, we dated on and off for 8 months. Mostly on and I really never loved anyone like I did with him, well around 8 months of dating we decided to call it quits due to aruging problems, and normally I wouldn't start trying to go on dates again etc, but I really believed we was done this time. So about two weeks after we broke up I met his guy named Phillip who happened to be 21 as well and by this point I was 17 and a senior in high school. Me and Phillip went on our first date, and he was everything I wanted. We went on a couple more dates and eventually ended up having sex. And what was amazing is every other guy in the past pretty much hit it and quit it or made it a hit and run, but having sex with Phillip changed nothing between us, we still hungout, went to dinner, and spent time together. It was really nice. Well the second time we had sex the condom busted and I noticed Phillip barely spoke to me after that. Well I wasnt worried because when me and Chayce had sex he never pulled out or anything so I really didnt read too much into it UNTIL i was late for my period and having pregnancy symptomes. Well come to find out i was indeed pregnant. Phillip wanted me to get an abortion and said this was too much and he could handle it, so he said he wanted out and i said thats fine, but dont come back around. So now I'm pregnant and will be due this summer, and I really dont know what the future holds for me and my baby. My advice to anyone reading this is, please think before you made an adult choice, because even though we used protection it took one bad turn to forever change my life. I was plan on attending a university for nursing, now I will have to attend community college and work two part time jobs and find a babysitter. My life is forever changed because of one dumb decision,and I regret it most because looking back on it I only slept with Phillip to get over Chayce, and now Chayce wants nothing to do with me forever, but time to focus on me and my wonderful child. Just THINK before your actions think for you.

Teen mom

Well I was 16 when I met my bf. He was 2 years younger than me but it didnt matter. We spent alot of time together and 2 months into our relationship we started have sex. We were sexually active for about a year n we werent using protection, wen I turned 18 I decided to move outta my moms house n in wit my bf n his family. Alittle after that we found out I was pregnant. My bf was very supportive but unfortunatley we both didnt have jobs. We suffered alot, money was always really tight we wud have to ask ppl to let us borrow money to eat. Soon my beautiful daughter jasmine was born, n we were still struggling I got a pt job n my bf was finishing up his last year of hs, even though so many bad things were going on me n my bf were so happy together n supportive of eachother wen one of us was down or crying we would pik eachother up.Dats y it got really hard wen my bf got locked up n den was put on house arrest, cuz I felt like I was doing it on my own witout my best friend there to pik me up. Now things are much better,jasmines a beautiful,funny,happy 3 1/2 year old, n we both are wrking now. we got our own place n were expecting a bby boy by march, even with all the struggles we went through I wouldnt have it n e other way, it made me the person I am today n im honestly very happy wit my life!!!!<3

Pregnant and alone

I just found out today, that I'm pregnant. My baby's father and I had been together for less then two months. We broke up five days ago. We were still friends until today, when I told him my news. I convinced him to meet me somewhere. I told him, and begged him to buy me another test, to be sure. He said it was my fault for not taking my birth control right; (even though I was taking it perfectly). I told him it was part his fault for not wearing a condom, and he told me that I didn't make him. He wants nothing to do with me or my child, and even though it's only been a few hours, i'm coming to terms with it. He doesn't deserve a child, especcially not MINE. i'm seventeen years old, and in high school, with a part time job; he's twenty one and has a full time job. I'm being the bigger person, and LETTING him walk away. When July 21st comes around, he WILL be signing his rights off. I don't need his money, and my baby doesn't need him. The two of us will be just fine! :)

Betrayed

I always had my heart set on becoming an actress. When i was 18 I decided to get my own apartment and not go to college but instead try out for acting jobs. After a few months I didn't get any and i had to get a job to pay rent. I became a maid and was working for a single man who didn't have a job so he was home all day while I cleaned. He was always following me around talking to me and flirting. I fell hard for him and we started to hang out after I was done cleaning, we started official dating and I got fired because I was always hanging put with Cristian instead of going to my other houses. Crying I told him I couldn't afford my apartment and he let me move in with him. He got a job and soon after I moved in I started feeling sick and took a test that came out positive, I was scared but I told him and he thought I was lying and he was mad at me, but later he apologized and said he wanted to stay together and have the baby. He soon got fired and I was scared to death since we had no money, plus I was always dropping hints about marriage and he wouldn't propose. One day when i was seven months in I woke up from a nap starving, I went to the kitchen to get something to eat and there he was kissing some other girl. I yelled and told him we were done and soon as I had the baby I was out of there. I gave birth to our twins McKinley and Michael on October 21 and moved out with them in December. He still gets to see them and we both have new relationships, he has a baby boy with the girl he cheated with and I have a boyfriend who helps me care for my son and daughter. I love them more than anything but being with their father was a huge mistake and it's so hard being a single mom especially of twins!
