You can ask questions in a comment and I will reply to them in a private message. This story is based on a true story. And I myself did write this. =]
I am so glad that we have reached 10,000 people! Thats CRAZZZZY!!! I am so glad I am getting the chance to share this poem with the world and teach others.
I want to clear something up.
In no way was Caleb a mistake.
The Mistake was sleeping with a jerk who is and prolly never will be back in the girls life.
Mistake
Not a day goes by that I don’t regret that day.
I knew it wasn’t right but what was i to say?
No thank you, not now, maybe another day?
It didn’t matter he’ll do it anyway.
My mom warned me about this,
but we weren’t gonna do it maybe just a kiss.
The night was over time to go home.
He didn’t even say good bye, I felt so alone.
My mom woke up and asked where I’ve been.
Oh just out with Kate and her little sister Jenn.
A few months go by and my belly gets big.
No, I cant be pregnant I just eat like a pig.
I went to the store and got a test.
It didn’t feel right, but lets hope for the best.
10 minutes go by and it’s time to look.
This may be the hardest test I ever took.
I looked at the test and fell to the floor.
Next thing I heard was a knock at the door.
When I showed my mom she wasn’t very proud.
When I showed my dad he screamed so loud.
There’s nothing we can do the damage is done.
But there is options that won’t be so fun.
We went to the doctors, they said its a boy.
So, how am i gonna tell his father Troy?
My mom told me we have to put him up for adoption.
My dad said This was my only option.
I chose a family who couldn’t have kids of their own.
The parents names are David and Joan.
The labor was hard and it hurt quite a lot.
But it all went away when i got the shot.
The doctor came in and said “The family is here”
Its been a long road but the end is near.
Caleb’s new family came in I didn’t know what to say.
They promised they would write everyday.
I wrote Caleb a letter,
telling him this was for the better.
The new happy family left the room and I started to cry.
I was so sad I wanted to die.
I was only 14 and made a big mistake,
and it’s one I hope you never make.

Thats why adoption …
Thats why adoption scares me. People make promises that they don’t keep and people get hurt (in all parties). It doesn’t happen all the time but it happens often enough that you can never know.
Also i think the …
Also i think the judgement that people pass on teen mothers as a whole is unfair because is not a nessacary indication of parenting abilities or responsibility. There are many adult mothers that i know personally and that are shown through media ( i mean abuse cases on the news and what not) that are equally if not worse parents than SOME teen mothers. Stereotypes and judgement only make the situation harder on teen moms.
I think teen …
I think teen pregnancy is a difficult topic because it is so hard for the mom but i think that if i girl makes a mistake and takes responsibility for the consquences (all of them from start to finish) that it is a commendable thing. I don’t agree with girls trying to get pregnant because that thought alone indicated imense immaturity. But i also think that many teen moms have the best intentions and do the best for their children some are not truly aware of what they have gotten themselves into.
that’s good, i’m …
that’s good, i’m glad to hear that.
not a single girl i …
not a single girl i know that had a kid at a young age is on welfare…. how is that 99 percent.. make sure you look up a definite answer before you go splattering it off….
u got lucky, the …
u got lucky, the other 99% are on welfare makin things worse for everyone else.
are you serious.. …
are you serious.. you can preach about staying abstinent till marriage all day long.. it only makes teenagers want to have sex more lol..
Thats great but you …
Thats great but you have to see the big picture.. I had a baby at 18…and my parents were very supportive..but i got lucky some girls that get pregnant have NO one… they dont have the means to raise a child.. adoption is the best option for them… If you had nothing..and could give your child nothing..wouldnt you want a better life for them?
ummm hello just …
ummm hello just because your mad you didnt get laid in highschool dont tell other teen mothers they are stupid… yeah girls have sex.. its not your duty to tell me whether or not i make my right choices for my life.. i make the exact choice i needed to make… i got pregnant in highschool graduated and then had him… now i am married.. to a man who cant have kids.. God works in mysterious ways…
some people dont …
some people dont have the resources to take care of a child.. I didnt give my son up but now.. that i am married my husband cant have children soo i will have to adopt from now on… adoption is good.. what would i do if i couldnt adopt.. go through life not able to having children again?
That is sad and …
That is sad and good so many teens have to go for adoption i used to be one that was against it but now i understand its for the best.
good poem, but …
good poem, but there were some grammatical errors that need to be corrected.
This is a really …
This is a really good poem and heart felt , I worry though, so many are coerced as you were, you were young I was too when I had the only option to give up my flesh and blood, the consequences of giving up your baby are far worse that parenting. please get counseling now or encourage the person who this poem is about to get it, I am not biased , i lived through the separation and only survive , we reunited. I was made promises too but guess what they fell through
