I did not go to school today. I went over to a doctor at the other side
of the town. I would not go and see our family doctor, I was to embarrassed.
After 30 minutes of waiting I finally came in to the doctor, an older woman
with glasses. She made me pee in a cup and took an extra test, and it was
clear, I was pregnant.
I told her about my situation, and she asked if we were religious at
home, and I answer: “Yes we are very religious”. And then the doctor said:
“Well, that could explained why you didn’t use a condom, due to the fact that
communities with such religious beliefs doesn’t really talk with their children
about sex and protection. I would advise you to get an abortion, but you should
talk to your parents first.”
When I went home I got online to research what the doctor said, and I
found out that Mississippi topped the list for conservative religious beliefs
and teen birth rates.
