Self confidence during pregnancy?

Question

I am currently 10 weeks pregnant at 17 with a baby due to rape. My belly is growing quickly. Today i moved into my dorm at Brown University. I decided not to get an abortion and continue school when i found out i was pregnant. But now at school everyone is giving me dirty looks. i feel horrible because i wasn't like like one of those stupid teenagers that got pregnant by choice. i mean i was raped iwasn'tnt my fault. So why are people treating me like this? im sooo depressed please help.

Answer 1

dont mind them i was 15 when i had my oldest. it is hard but who are they to judge. sorry you had to go through that. find a support group around you that you can talk to. try not to get depressed. just think of the beautiful thing that is going to come out of an ugly situation and how strong you are for doing this. it is only you and the babys world you need to live in everyone else can kiss your bumm.  

Answer 2

Ignorant b******s!!!  do not let them bring you down.  I know what it is to be raped and they have no right to look at you the way they do.  I admire what you are doing.  You are a great women, a beautiful and strong person for doing what you are doing.  And remember you are a survivor!  I know it is hard to ignore them, but at the end, they should be the ones ashamed of there selves. &(&^^&^%!!!!  had to get that off my chest.  

Answer 3

I'm so sorry people will always judge before asking the whole story and sadly your most likely going to get those looks for a long time.

SORRY!

Answer 4

I have so much respect for you. Please don't let those ignorant people make you regret your choice. That is just what they are, ignorant. For whatever reason you are in your situation (and I am so sorry for the thing that happened to you) at least you are not one of those people who are willing to murder their unborn children just to avoid those dirty looks. Keep your head up and try not to let what other people may be thinking bother you. You know what you have been through, and what you are still going through..they don't. So s***w 'em.

Best of luck.

Answer 5

I feel pitiful for ya. People probably look at you awkwardly because you're pregnant at such an early age.
