I can’t believe it’s happening to me. Just two weeks ago, I was a carefree 23 year old guy, living life with no worries or responsibilities.
But now, my life has been turned upside down. My 18 year old girlfriend is pregnant, and I’m at a complete loss of what to do.
It all started one night when we decided to have unprotected s-. I knew it was a stupid move, but I was feeling a bit reckless – and it felt so good. Now, here I am, facing the consequences of my actions.
My girlfriend is still in poly, and I’m scared of what her parents will think. We don’t know how to break the news to them. I can’t imagine how disappointed they’ll be.
I’m also worried about how I’m going to support the baby. I am only going to complete my NS soon, and I don’t have a job yet.
I’ve been trying to find one, but I’m not having much luck as most of the employers want me to start immediately but I can’t due to my NS obligations.
I’m also scared of the future. I know that raising a child is difficult and expensive. I’m not sure if I’m ready for the responsibility, and I’m worried that I’ll mess it up.
We’re still young and new to the adult world, and both of us are still a little bit playful.
Will my girlfriend and I be able to make it work? Will we be able to give our child the love and attention it needs?
I feel like my life is out of my control. I don’t know what’s going to happen next. All I know is that I have to figure out a way to make it work.
I’m going to have to find a job that allows me to start after my NS, and I’m going to have to take responsibility for my actions.
