Turning Point in Your Life
About three years ago I made a very stupid decision of having unprotected sex, being a teenager you will never think about the consequences of your actions. That is why it leads me into being pregnant at the age of sweet sixteen. I was seven weeks pregnant at the time and throwing up everywhere in sight. Being so ignorant, I did not want to force the facts that I might become a mother and I knew this was not a problem I can just wish and it will disappear. Once I knew there was a life growing inside of me, I had to get some help, but I was too scared to have someone sticking by my side and saying, "It's going to be alright." It was just so important for me to keep it to myself, but I couldn't even do that. I knew it was important for me to keep the child. So, when I tried telling someone, it just blew directly back in my face. All my family members wanted me to have an abortion. It was very important to them because I felt that all they cared a
To be proud of the life I have NOW!. So, I gave Nguyen, Page 2them their wish, and went to get an abortion all the way in San Jose on June 15 of 1999. All that matter, was for me to have an abortion as soon as possible. I tried to make my parents understand how it was so important to keep the child and how I knew I made a mistake, and I needed them to stick by my side and help me, but they were not trying to listen to whatever I was saying. Also don't go against your heart and after always feeling regret for the rest of your life. It can also cause a lot of pain for the rest of your life. Don't take your mistakes and blame it on others, because really all your family wanted was for the best for you and not wanting to watch you struggle in life. If I did have the child, would I ever be a good mother and still be able to be a teenager? I ask myself that everyday and I don't ever think I will be able to find out those answers. So really I made three mistakes, which I will always remember and helped me turn my life around. This incident has affected my life in many ways; never do anything if you are not ready for the responsibility that comes with it. I went and took the truth from myself, thinking I was the one wanting the abortion not my parents. Now, I learned that it would have been really hard to have a child at a young age, but it is also hard to deal with the pain of losing someone at a young age. Never have sex just to make your boyfriend happy, do it when you're ready, now when you think you're in love. I did not get the abortion to make myself happy; I got it to make my parents happy.
