I had the very stupid attitude in high school of "If it happens it happens" and never really tried to prevent getting pregnant... the thought of having a baby was nice. Luckily it never happened.
Now that I do have a baby I constantly think back to what would have happened if I did. I'm in a stable relationship with someone who makes decent money and we both have a college education.... and its still next to impossible. When people say its expensive, boy they arent kidding. They are time consuming, mind consuming, and physically exhausting. I seriously want to cry with joy sometimes that I wasn't a teen mom
The only way most teen get through it is because of their parents anyway tbh. A teenager just can't support themselves and a child while going to school without help. Accidents will happen I suppose, but to do it on purpose at such a young age is really just not fair, and just plain selfish...
