in most cases you would congratulate a new mom, but i just don’t feel right saying “GOOD JOB! you haven’t graduated high school yet and you already have started a family! way to get a jump start on life.” i feel more like saying “that was a poor choice. are you as stressed out right now as i would be?” is it rude not to be happy for someone who just had a baby?
she is just so young, she acts more immature than i do. we were at a meeting for GAINS (girls achieving in non-traditional subjects) and she was whispering to one of her friends throughout the whole thing giggling. if you act like a child yourself, how are you supposed to raise a child? *Sigh* is it wrong that i’m judging her so harshly? she didn’t plan to have the baby, it just kind of happened. i don’t think she’s stupid for getting pregnant, because i’ve gone through the pregnancy scare before and i know how she must have felt when she didn’t get her period. what if i had gotten a positive result on my pregnancy test? what would i have done? i’ve always said i never want children, and i’ve always said if i got pregnant i would abort it, but honestly i can’t say for sure what i would do in that situation. i’m so grateful that i never got pregnant from the 3 times that i had unprotected sex with my ex boyfriend. i’m not sure why this subject got me so worked up, but it’s weird to know this girl since 1st grade and then see her in our senior year of high school and discover she has a 3 month old daughter. it’s just so odd. she’s happy though, so i’m happy for her, i’m just not pleased by the situation. thank god that my friend has a mom who is able to help raise the baby and also the baby’s daddy is still in the picture so that’s good.
