Sarah Roberts: My Story: 16 and Pregnant
I was with a boy I thought was my best friend — a boy I saw myself spending my whole life with. He was loving, caring and fun — he was my first everything. We’d known each other since middle school and our relationship had grown out of a close friendship. When I made the choice to give my virginity to him, I was sure of the decision. I would do anything for him. And I knew that he’d be there for me.
When I told him I was pregnant, I was confident he would be there to support me and our baby. Three weeks after our daughter Tinleigh was born, he was gone.
I felt betrayed, angry and hurt. I’m now a teen mother, and a single mother. I love my daughter more than anything in the world, but the reality is that being a mom at 17 is difficult. There are of course great moments, but it’s difficult not to wonder what might have been if I’d made different choices in life.
