Mom Sorry

I was 16 and he was 21. It was a one night thing, And was done in the spur of the moment, I was drinking a little he was not. I was late and he decided to run. I was left telling my parents alone. While he ran around some more, What was I to do? I was searching for the courage to tell someone. I was scared and just another teenage statistic. How did I get myself into this awful mess? Now I need to make a life changing decision. I can't even drive. Man I'm screwed this time. Do I abort the baby now while it is an egg? I know I can't give it the future it deserves. Do I keep the baby and own up to my mistakes? A lot of people find the courage within them selves to stay around. I am 16 and made one bad call, now I must pay for the rest of my life No matter what I decide. Mom dad I made a mistake, I am sorry! Don't be mad! It wasn't meant to happen like this. I am pregnant and don't know what to do? Mom I need you! As her parents replied we will get by.

That statistic is really high. I like the way you presented the teen's plea to the parent. And I like how you showed her feeling sorry and totally depending on her Mom for help!

Teens are often afraid to tell their parents they are pregnant, but when they do, most parents offer assistance. Very touching poem, Cory, and I wish you success in the contest. The statistic you cited at the end is amazing to me. So many young girls are faced with decisions to make. I'd always wished that adoption was easier -- people were waiting two or three years for a legal adoption when I inquired. But if I had ever been blessed with a child, I could not have givenit up.
