I lived away from home but I still didn't tell my parents until after I had him because I wasn't sure I was going to keep him and raise him and I didn't want to tell them in case I decided to give him up for adoption. And I NEVER, even once, entertained the idea of having him and putting him in a trash can or murdering him. I think this is so tragically sad. These young girls are not mature enough to be having sex, let along having a baby. I use to say that if I had a daughter I would get her the implant when she was 10 years old, just in case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-47767867930827184592008-07-02T11:10:00.000-04:002008-07-02T11:10:00.000-04:00How sad - when there are so many childless couples...How sad - when there are so many childless couples waiting for babies to adopt. It's a shame that these girls are so scared to tell their parents that they find it easier to kill the baby than to ask for help. I got pregnant unexpectedly while in college and was also terrified about telling my parents. I called a friend and she told them for me. I didn't even consider killing the baby. What I did consider was running away forever, but my friend talked me out of it. My family ended up being supportive and everything worked out fine. My son is 18 years old now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
