| Before I became pregnant I had a lot of friends, but once I became pregnant everyone tried to avoid me like the plague. I lost 90% of my college friends because they thought I was too young to have a baby and didn't want anything to do with a pregnant 19 year old. They said I was ruining my future that I would not be a good mother. They talked behind my back and would ignore my presence. Because of all this crap my whole entire pregnancy was plagued with stress and sadness. I even had to quite my job because all the stress was too much. I became so depressed that when I did have my child I ended up having post postpartum happiness because everyone went back home for the summer. Now life is good, but the time I when I was pregnant will always be the worst days of my life. |

| I know exactly how you feel. Everyone makes such unfair judgments. So what if you are young. That is no reason that you cannot have a baby. I am 23 and my son is almost 16 months old. |

| I totally understand where your coming from. I was away at college and was in a sorority and was super close with a lot of girls but then I left school because I needed a break and I became pregnant as soon as everyone found out that I was pregnant they started talking about me and making up stories. Out of my group of friends of about 10 of us only one will still talk to me. It's really hard to understand how you can be friends with someone and then all of a sudden just flip the switch and be on the other side. It's taken me awhile and I'm still trying to figure things out but I've just decided I have to start new and move on. It gets me sad sometimes but I don't want it to get in my way of enjoying my son. Keep your head up and try to just move on I'm sure your better off without them anyways. |

I know exactly where you are coming from. I too am a young mother, actually I was 17 when I had my daughter. I would have thought that all those people that said that they were my best friends would have stuck by me through anything. However that all changed when I became pregnant and very few even kept in contact after my daughters birth. The funny thing about this whole thing, after graduation about 70% of my graduating class ended up having children in the first year out of highschool. Most of them now actually have more than one child and its only been 5 years since we graduated.
What I'm trying to get at is, true friends are the people who will stick by you throughout anything (including babies) and everyone else...they really are not even worth your time. As long as you are happy with who you are and where you are in life that is all that matters. Don't ever let someone tell you that just becuase you have a child that your life is over. That is a statement that is so far from the truth.
My daughter is now 5, my husband and I are extremely happy, we have great jobs, a beautiful home, and most importantly a wonderful life....no thanks to any one of those people that I knew in Highschool. The best part is one day years from now when you run into one of them, all you need to do is smile and look the other way. |
