Reason #007 – No independence and no college degree

April 19, 2014 by Motivity

Motivity_R2W_Campaign_Pregnant_Teen_2NO INDEPENDENCE & NO COLLEGE DEGREE – I was 17 years old when I lost my purity. I lost it in June, I was pregnant by November. I went to a private school and was college bound. The week I found out I was pregnant, my college applications and essays were due. I planned on attending an out-of-state school. I wanted to travel and be an independent young adult. Instead, I only applied to a local community university. I was not able to focus on school with a newborn baby. I didn’t finish school. I didn’t get to be an independent adult. I have been a mother my entire adulthood. I do love my son, but if I had waited I could have provided a more secure beginning for him. If you think that you are not going to be the one to get pregnant, it can and will happen to you. It only takes one time to get pregnant. There is not a birth control that is 100% effective, except waiting. — Carrie, Detroit, MI –
