i got pregnant when i was 14

i got pregnant when i was 14, had her when i was 15 and i hid the pregnancy. i ran away to my mothers and had the baby in another state. my mom knew at 6 months. my family found out when i was 8 months and was already gone. and the fathers family found out when she was 5 months old already.

i hope other girls who get pregnant at my age don’t do what i did. don’t hide it. i have many regrets. my baby is my world.

during my pregnancy i felt like the world was closing in on me. i had very bad depression. if you’re pregnant and are scared, i hope everything gets better and you get any help you need. and please tell someone. even if it’s a school nurse.

keeping my pregnancy a secret ate me alive.
