I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. I was recently dumped by my long-time boyfriend and after we broke up I found out I was pregnant with his child. I told him this and he got mad at me for telling him because he wanted nothing to do with me anymore, so I lied and said the doctors made a mistake. I then had to make a decision on my own as to whether I should keep my child. I waited a long time deciding and did not tell anyone as to not be judged for being a teen and pregnant, I found out it was a boy and named him Jace in my mind. I finally realized the consequences of having a child at 17 even though they should have been obvious before, so I aborted my son. I have yet to tell the father and I don’t think I will since he is already sleeping with someone new. It is a pain I need to go through every day believing I killed my child and I feel as though I am falling into a deep depression because of it. I can’t tell anyone about it though because of the reactions I will get and the stigma behind teen pregnancies and abortion.
