Her boyfriend just had sex with her because he could and it was cool and he's not going to stick around, let alone support the babe with his p/t job at McD's - that's for his weekly supply of liquor. Her parents toss her out on her ear because she's violated the church just by engaging in premarital sex. Now what? Adoption? She'll be shunned at school. And not one of her friends will look her in the eye. Now she's depressed. Her marks slip because she can't concentrate as the shelter is so noisy and she's not sleeping or eating well enough for one let alone two. The crazy mood swings any pregnant woman experiences are peanuts compared to the hormones she's enduring from puberty now doubled with pregnancy. This is her life for the next nine months - if she's strong enough to make it and the depression doesn't take the ultimate price. So, I'm sorry if some girl makes a choice thats right for her and not for you because this story is way more common than any of us want to acknowledge.

Like I said, a child shouldn't have to die, or never exist, because it makes life difficult on someone. If you aren't responsible enough to handle the consequences, don't have sex, and don't take it out on a great life that could be. No one said it's gonna be easy, hell, it will be more than difficult, shattering even, but if a person isn't strong enough or determined enough to make up for their mistakes or to handle the consequences of their actions, maybe they should be rethinking their place in existance. Besides this isn't about me, it's about a life that should have the right to live on. Having a tough life is a small price to pay for letting a human being have a chance at theirs.
