neveragain2493 Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I want to post this just to vent on the absurdity of the situation. I talked with an old best friend the other night, and she told me she might be pregnant. She just turned eighteen. She used to want to wait to be married, but now that she's going to a larger school known for drugs and pregnancies, she's changed. She told me she doesn't use condoms because she hates them, and she normally has sex after her period because she's 'less likely' to get pregnant. She says she'll be happy whether she's pregnant or not because her boyfriend works to support them both, and she'll still be going to college. I told her how stupid she was because condoms are safe whether you like them or not, and you're likely to get pregnant whenever you have sex. I told her that not many pregnant teens make it through high school, let alone college, and she'd be way too tired with a baby.. She responded with, "It's called baby daddy." Seriously?
Eddie Edirol Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Shes 18, shes a dope who isnt smart enough to know its a wrong decision. She will justify all her actions. Time to find new friends.
SincereOnlineGuy Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Lots of teens like to almost collect 'baby daddies'. The worse the school, the greater in number those teens are. Though I'm uncertain that telling her how stupid she is will help immensely. But maybe it can't hurt... LOL
Author neveragain2493 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Posted December 21, 2010 I definitely agree. We were best friends about two years ago, and the last time we hung out (April?), she was talking about smoking, drinking, etc. She hasn't been my close friend for a while, and I told her all of this because I care. What a shame.
Art_Critic Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Besides calling her stupid and insulting her how have you stepped up to the friendship plate and offered to be there for her ? That IMO is what a true friend does in these types of situations.. You are right.. her being pregnant at age 18 is a life altering experience and will have a profound effect on the rest of her life.. but if she is already pregnant she needs a friend who will be there for her or share with her their experiences so she can make the right decisions at this point. Has she taken any pregnancy tests as of yet ?
Author neveragain2493 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Posted December 21, 2010 Actually, I apologized for saying that but said I was just disappointed in her. She knows I'm always there for her like she used to be for me.. No, I don't think so. I'm not going to pester her about it. I'm assuming she'll find out soon enough.
2010_Sorry Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 While it certainly sounds like she has made some terrible decisions in her life, maybe this will be her reality check. It is very easy to say that she is stupid and you are disappointed in her, but she's probably already beating herself up over this internally. As others have said, just be there for her, because she is going to need a good friend.
