Question by : I feel like I’ve lost all my friends since my pregnancy…help?
I am 17 years old and I got pregnant…it wasn’t on purpose…I was using as much protection as I could, and things happen I suppose. When I first announced my pregnancy everyone was completely supportive. I planned on marrying the father in the first place. I am finishing High School baby or not. Everyone told me I was “doing the right thing”…and I feel like I am. I take absolute responsibility for my actions and while I know I may need my parents love and support during this time, I would never dream of having them care for something I did. It’s my child, my responsibility. During this time I have before the baby arrives in April, I’ve been trying to mature myself (I’ve been told I never acted like a teenager…I’ve been outcasted by most people at this school for that reason…I can’t relate to other teens so well) as well as I can.

Through the time since August when I found out my friends have become less and less supportive. In fact, most of them have even stopped talking to me except to mention that I’m starting to get a belly. The only times they do talk to me is to tell me I will probably go in to premature labor or miscarry. I’ve missed 5 days of school so far due to accounts of depression because of my friends treating me this way and refuse to let myself miss anymore of them. I feel like I’ve always been there for them when things got rough, and that just because I’m changing to accommodate the needs if my soon to be child they shouldn’t start giving me the silent treatment…I still try to talk to them…even my teachers are treating me terribly…They talk down to me and they didn’t used to…I’m not sure how to take all of this…how should I take it?
I come from a very small town of about 800 where everyone knows everyone and so forth…I’ve always only had a very small amount of friends…but now it seems like I don’t have any…I am the only pregnant girl in school right now…
