"[ size=7 ] [ size=7 ] Not many people close to me know my story but for once I 'm actually ready to share with other people . Maybe I can reach out and help somebody or help people see the reality . When I was 16 I was curious about sex because a couple of my friends had done it and I ( for some dumb reason ) wanted to see what it was like for myself ( peer pressure , I guess ) . So it happens that my period does n't come . I find out that during this most unpleasurable experience he decided to take the condom off . I knew I was pregnant . And I knew that my mom would kill me if she found out so I kept it to myself . After a few weeks my mom started to get bad feelings and confronted me , had me take a pregnancy test , and as I said was ready to kill me . She was ashamed and really did n't give me much of an option as to whether or not I wanted to keep the baby . I also knew deep down that I was not ready to have a baby nor did I have the financial means to take care of one ( unless I wanted to live off of welfare ) . The father was not going to play an active role in this baby 's life , as far as he was concerned this was all a big joke to him . So I went to the clinic ( passed through all the pro-life activists ) and had the procedure done . I was scared but you know , I knew it was the right thing to do . I 'm 27 now and still think back and ask myself if I have any regrets . I would have a child that would be around 11 years old . I wonder what kind if life the 2 of us would be living . I 'm married now and have 2 children that I love and adore . They have a good life . I 'm glad that I had that choice 11 years ago . A second chance to make it right ."
"First of all , welcome : D I believe as you do , that having a child is not always the best and most responsible thing to do in certain circumstances . For what it is worth , I think you did the right thing , for you and your current children ."
