14 and Pregnant

I was a fairly mature kid and was able to convince my mother to let me do just about anything. I managed to convince her at 14 that I was old enough to start dating. I was responsible and would be home on time every time, and I was. It was the time in between leaving and coming home that she should have worried about. I really didn't get in any trouble. I didn't drink a lot and I never did any drugs. Hell I didn't even try weed til I was 37. I felt like I was good kid anyway. Then I feel in love. If that is what you want to call it at that age. I managed to get mama to let me start dating on my 14th birthday. The date was nothing fancy now that I think back. Dinner at a restaurant and movie. He was nice and very much a gentleman then. It was for a couple of months before he told me he loved me. REALLY! How in hades do you know what love is at that age. Well I thought I did! He said I love you and I melted into a puddle of oks and yess. About 6 months later we broke up. For a whole week. AND then it happened! We get back together and he wants make up sex. He didn't have a condom with me and promised me it would be ok, he would pull it out. So, being the fool I was well you know what happened next. Yep a few weeks go by and Aunty flow never comes to visit, another month and still no visit. Well SHIT I'm preggers. Mama isn't going to like this one bit! I told him first, he said he would take full responsibility and we would get married.
Well I figured the safest thing for me was to pick the perfect time to tell her.
So, I waited and waited, finally she went to the bathroom. I knew she was gonna be there a while and couldn't run after me if she was on the toilet. I busted in the bathroom and right in the middle of her evening dump, I told her.


How the story began......

The story started about 45 years ago in the armpit of hell in Texas. Mama tired to raise us better, but she worked a lot, a whole lot. Dad died when we were wee babes and she has worked 2 or more jobs ever sense. I'm telling my story so that maybe someone will learn a few things that it took me the better part of 45 years to learn.
Men! they lie to get what they want and it is usually one thing. Weather you a young, dumb 14 year old lil girl in the back seat of station wagon or 44 year old woman that thinks you know it all. MEN LIE! I kid you not!
Just assume, ladies, queens, and my dear boiz that MEN LIE!






To this day.. I will advocate for everyone having sex to use a condom even if he says, "If any thing happens I will take responsibility."
