I am…my name I will keep secret. Short time ago I realized that I was pregnant with my boyfriend’s child, who I love very much. I am the older of two sisters and the one supposed to set the good example.
When this happened, the first idea that came into my mind was the abortion. I commented about the pregnancy to a supposed friend with the purpose of making her to get some abortion pills for me. I thought that would be an easy solution to my situation due to the fact that I still have one more semester to finish my studies. I was afraid from my fellow student’s gossip.
The worst part is that my boyfriend wanted me to proceed with the abortion. What happened then is that my mother had a premonition. She noticed that I was very nervous and asked me if I was pregnant. I had not choice but to tell her the truth.
Even though she felt hurt, she said she would help me. She said hat a child was not something to be embarrassed about and that if my boyfriend was not going to be supportive, that was not a big deal. She was going to support me.
My sister, who amazes me more everyday being so mature for her age (17 years old), cried and said that what I had intended to do was one act of cowardice. She said I should face things. According to her, my life was not over but had changed, and I should assume the new situation.
At this moment I feel happy. I have the support from everybody because thanks God, my boyfriend changed his mind and now says that he is going to try harder for the three of us…
