Could I be pregnant if I have my period?

You sound just like I did when I was your age. Almost the exact same words and thoughts. I am telling you because now I am older and wiser and looking back I wish that I had been more mature about things. Your idea of being more mature than most people your age may be true, but intellectual maturity and emotional maturity are two very different things. Most people have the idea that they have found the “one for them” and that the person they are with at 14 years old is the person that they are going to spend the rest of their lives with. Well, guess what, the person that I was with at 14-18 and thought he was my soul mate and that I was going to spend the rest of my life with, he is in federal prison. We were engaged and I got pregnant three times by the time I was 18, the first two I miscarried early on and the third was a almost full term still-born. The still-born was the most difficult, emotional, painful thing that I ever had to go through in my life. You have no idea what it feels like to bury a child when you are only 18 years old. Shortly after the baby died I left him and moved to another city and started to really enjoy my childhood. I dated a few guys and had fun without having sex with them and met alot of people and did alot of things. I had the freedom to live wherever I wanted to and work wherever and whenever I wanted to and not have to worry about a husband or a child or the extremely large cost of living that comes with all of that. Please do not misunderstand me, I grieved the loss of my child and I think about how different my life would be with her and she would be six years old now and I wish it would not have happened the way that it did. But on the other hand she would be six years old with a father that is in prison for a very long time for armed bank robbery, and I would be living alone raising the child and trying to afford everything as a single mother with the father in prison is very difficult because you can forget ever getting any child support. What I am telling you is that I had a large ego at your age too and I thought that I was so smart and so mature and that nobody could tell me any different and even if they did, i thought they did not know what they were talking about and obviously they didn’t know me or my situation because I was very “mature” for my age. I had the biggest chip on my shoulder and my nose up in the air and my ego was the size of Texas and I was sure that I knew everything there was to know and that I was in love and it was going to be forever. Most marriages that start in high school end up in divorce, and if they don’t it is usually because they stay together unhappily for reasons of children or financial reasons. You can do the reasearch online and find out the statistics. I know you will probably come back at me with something like how you are that one in a million exception and I don’t know your situation or your relationship, that is your ego talking. Statistics do not lie. Be young while you are young because you will never have another chance to be young. If you lock yourself into something now you will end up feeling trapped and as if you are stuck in a life that you did not really want. I look back at who I was and how I acted in high school and I wish I could go back and tell myself the truth and give myself a good slap in the face, but I can’t. The only thing that I can do is try to give good advice to teenagers now and hope that at least one of them will take my advice and that it will help. I know most of you will not listen to me because you think you already know it all, or you don’t want to accept reality. The biggest part of it is denial, you want to feel the way you think you do about this person and you are in a hurry to get your life started. You want to be in love, you want to have children, you want to get married, and so on. The reason why you want these things is because there is some type of emptiness that is inside of you, there is a void you want to fill and you think if you hurry up and fill it then you will be happy. My advice is to learn how to be happy by yourself and be young and live life to the fullest. Babies are wonderful, but young women getting pregnant is never a good idea because it stops you from having a full life. Without a child, you could go to college, travel, have fun and live life to the fullest extent. With a child you will have to learn how to finish school and find a babysitter at the same time and then you will have to go straight from school to working somewhere for a low pay rate and also have to pay for child-care and all of the other expensive neccessities that babies require, unless your parents are rich and they are enablers. Try to find a happiness inside of you without wanting someone else to put it there and stop having sex because it is selfish. Willpower is commended much higher than someone just giving into a primal urge because they feel like it and they have rationalized it to the point where they make it seem like it is normal and there is nothing wrong. The honest truth is that there is something very wrong with todays youth and all of the sex and drugs that are going on in high schools and even middle schools. Sex is meant to be special and it is meant for your soul mate and you will be very dissapointed when you do find your soul mate and he does not want to have sex with you because you have given your body to so many other men and the thought of it makes him sick. Trust me.
