~My Story~ A Real Mother's Journey Through Teenage Pregnancy

I never would of guessed I'd be writing this story because so much of it seems unreal. I am 21 years old an now that I look back on it I don't regret much. I was a typical girl like any other. I always wanted to please my parents. I complete daddy's girl from the start. I had always went for the bad boy types but I was never into having sex. Who would of guessed that I a social outcast would have a baby. I guess my story starts in August of 2005. I was single acting like I was on top of the world. I met a boy and we became friends quick. It all started with a fight and he was working and he talked to me first. I never would of guessed he would become my boyfriend or that I would officially be able to trick my mom. I guess I should mention I was raised in by a single parent. She struggled thru think and thin to make sure me and my siblings had everything they wanted. So being on top of us was nearly impossible. I am the second oldest and by this time my oldest sister had done moved out and had just had a baby. Well I was really excited about this boy. His name was AJ. He was every girls dream except we were miles apart. He lived in the neighboring state and we slowly drifted away. I felt I needed a guys attention and quickly found it December of 2005. Little did I know this would officially change my life forever. I met a guy named Danny. We were friends but I didn't know what he expected. I was 14 he was 18 and all I could wonder is why me? He had a baby already a son and he wasn't with his sons mom probably why he got with me to begin with. My parents dispised him and didn't want me near him. Well them telling me no brought me closer to him. He became my world. I started failing in school and drinking on the weekends as well as experimenting with drugs. It was everything I never saw myself doing. All the while AJ was still trying to pick up the peices of our relationship and try to pull me from the new lifestyle I was in. Danny and I had sex. We were safe the first few times. I never thought I would have a baby. After a while the sex didn't stay safe. I still was unaware of the risks I was taking. I was so young with a whole life ahead of me. That life I had planned came crashing down on April 20, 2006. It was a typical day. Get up go to school come home. I never would of guessed anything would of happened. Well little did I know there were other plans. I got into an arguement with a kid and words were exchanged. He called me a fat bitch and it upset me which never happens. I am the girl call me what you want it don't affect me. Well when I went home that day I told my mom about it and I bawled my eyes out and ran to my room. My sister and my mom looked at each other and said thats not normal. My mom gave my sister money and she ran to the store for a test. I hadn't had my period in two months but we all put it due to stress. I was always fighting with Danny and trying to straighten up. Well we were wrong. My sister sat in the bathroom with me instructing me how to take this test that would change my whole life. It didnt even take seconds before the test came back positive that I was pregnant. I was shocked. There was no way I at 14 was going to be a mom much less I could be pregnant. I didn't know at first what to do but within minutes reality grasped me and I decided I was gonna be a mom.
