You know, I'm not going to judge the OP for having sex. I have sex, and I'm not married. I'm not going to judge her for getting pregnant, either. It's not such a big deal anymore for someone to get pregnant outside of marriage. I AM, however, going to judge the OP for being in a situation where they have to awkwardly explain to a parent that they are pregnant. That implies that they are still dependant on the parent for support and are not in a position to adequately support themselves. If that is the case, they should NOT be having sex and getting pregnant. Accidents happen, yes, and that is EXACTLY why you should refrain from ANY activity that might result in an accident that you do not have the means to get through. If the OP is still having to go to the doctor for check-ups with her mother, that is a clear sign that she is dependant on her parents, and should not have even begun to put herself in the position where she might get pregnant. This is not me saying sex before marriage is wrong. This is not me even saying that having sex as a teenager is necessarily wrong, and it definitely isn't me saying that getting pregnant without being married is wrong. It is me saying that having sex and getting pregnant without having the means to support a child is cruel, thoughtless, and completely selfish.

Capt. The akward thing does not exactly imply they still ned the support. It may mean their mom is nuts, and they're scared of them being angry. Or it could mean that the mother is not wanting to let go and see her child as an adult. And my grandma went on dr's visits with my mom when she was 25~30 years old. She didn't live at home then. I'm not trying to be mean, just offer the alternatives.

If she had been raped, the FML should have had that in it. Yes, women who do not report rapes are cowards. There, I said it. It's selfish not to report a rape and to allow the rapist a guaranteed right to stay on the street and rape more women.

I see where you are coming from but how the heck easy do you believe telling people about that is? rape can be physically and emotionally damaging.

With all due respect #144, you're talking out of your rear-end. You wonder why some women don't report their rapes? The crappy legal system is partly to blame. The rapists spend a few years in jail and get released to commit more heinous crimes.
