I am not here to judge but I was 17 when I got pregnant. I used protection and still did... I assumed my responsibility. It was hard! I was forced to grow up. But I wouldn’t change it. I love her so much I couldn’t picture a world without her. She’s turned out quiet the young lady... she’s 20 years old now. I don’t regret my decision And know people who did make that decision that till today they still wonder what would of been and they have not been able to have a child when they wanted to. Everyone has a story.

I feel like a lot of these decisions are made based on fear tactics like people vaccinate out of fear.

Young woman are told they will ruin their future. That they aren’t ready. Social status makes its way into play too... kids parents in as public figure or in a position of authority that would impact “family name” or the preacher’s kid etc...

Young woman aren’t properly educated. Fear tactics are used and beneficial motive are use for someone other than the mother to be.

That’s my thought.
