Honey_It_Broke

Honey It Broke “Honey, it broke!” I found out I was pregnant just three days shy of my eighteenth birthday. It all began with the words, “Honey, it broke”. Not exactly the most romantic words that have ever been said to me. A simple, “That was great”, would have been just fine. Little did I know those three words would change everything about my seemingly normal life. Imagine being seventeen a senior in high school, co-captain on the cheerleading squad, starter, and all district player on both the basketball and volleyball teams. When I was in high school, I had the same goals and expectations as most of my peers. Go to college, get a degree, get a good job, eventually get married, and start a family. I never dreamed that I would be starting a family at seventeen. I could only think of one other girl that got pregnant in high school and everyone made her life a living hell. I was not going to go through that. So, I made the only logical decision I could think of at the time. I would have an abortion.
