I'm a 14 year old dad.... uugggghhhh, just so stressed! any advice would be great!?
I know that it isn't the best situation for you or your girlfriend being that you're teenagers, but I commend you on at least making the effort that most guys wouldn't. You didn't take the easy road out and leave your girlfriend high and dry when she got pregnant. And you are thinking of the future, which is good. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you things are gonna be easy because they aren't. Many of my friends were teen parents before we even graduated high school and most didn't go to college because they didn't make the effort. But, if you put forth the effort and are dedicated to both your family and future, then you can do it. It is possible for teen parents to go to college and make it. I'm in classes with several parents who had their kids in the teen years. If you make the commitment to do what is best for you both and your daughter, there is a way. Where there is a will, there is a way. Best wishes to you both in the future.
POST ABORTION STRESS SYNDROME, DOES IT EXIST?
Does it exist? I had an abortion 6 months ago, and im approaching my due date. I have been so "depressed" since the date I had my abortion as it was not a decision I made easily. (PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME) However I have been upset and cry almost every night about what I lost - I clearly think I made the wrong decision, I know its too late to change but me and my partner of 2 years were not in the right position to bring a child up. My partner is supportive but I dont think he understands to the full extent of what I've been through. When I talk to him about it he listens then doesnt really know what to say. I have a constant reminder of guilt and sadness - I read about post abortion stress syndrome or PASS online and dont really know if this has been proved? Im needing advice more than anything else on what to do to help me overcome this. Its not something I want to or will ever forget as it was the most difficult decision I have ever made! But I need help to get through this, any ideas? PLEASE NO NASTY COMMENTS AS THIS IS HARD ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH
First time smoking a cigarette?
Ok, I won't judge you for wanting to smoke, because I smoke, and I enjoy it. And I assume you understand the risks, and are willing to take them. 1. I smoke Camel 99's, and they're what I started with, so those aren't bad for beginners I'd say. 2. A cheap 99 cent bic lighter works just fine, but of course, you can always use a zippo or one of those "Tattoo lighters" with the designs on them if you want to be classy haha 3. No cigarettes taste that "good" to be honest, the taste isn't really the point of a cigarette, it's to get a buzz, and relieve stress (like you said). If you want to smoke, go ahead, I'm not gonna try to "save you from the dangers of smoking" like the rest of these people seem to be trying to do. If you want to smoke, go ahead, and if you start, and don't like it, it won't be hard to quit if you're the kind who gets headaches from them and whatnot. And another thing, when you're first starting, DO NOT smoke it too fast, you will feel absolutely AWFUL.
