My best friend got pregnant in 8th grade. She is 6 days younger than me and we had been friends for 2 years then. She and i both loved kids and were sexually active. But i was afraid of losing her. I admit i was stupid and jelous. I wanted her and i to be just as close and though a baby would get in the way. Well, the child is 16 months old right now and honestly, she is the best thing that ever happened to my friend. She has really gotten her life on track, her daughter gave her a reason. Don`t assume that teen mom`s are bad moms. My friend is one of the best mom`s i know. She doesnt come from a rich family and neither does the baby`s daddy. My friend has basically raised this child alone. And im happy to say that my friend and i are just as close if not closer. From the 6 am call when i first heard that one hour old baby cry in the background i knew i would love her like an aunt. We made bathtime into our playtime too. Rubber Ducky dances to the rolling stones. I still talk to my friend all the time, even when a little girl keeps pushing the buttons on me and trying to talk on the phone with me. My friend was petrified when she found out she was pregnant, and so was i, but honestly it mde me realize i dont want to be paris hilton and party all the time, i want to be a mom. Not now but i realized life can be fun without drugs and sex.
