It's really not worth the risk.  |
I also know of cases where the girl has been misled by the guy......who has said he would support her and his child. 18 months down the road, he can see his mates having a ball....and he can only see this girl and baby as an encumbrance......and yes, he packs his traps and disappears.......which is why SamF, many girls do not take into consideration the guys opinion when deciding what to do about an unplanned pregnancy.
They realise that they are unreliable, and will take off at the first sign of trouble....leaving her holding the baby(literally).
I know there are single mothers out there who do a great job of bringing up their children....these are the women who have been deserted and let down.
But there is just no excuse to have an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy.
All women have a responsibilty to themselves to make sure they take their own sexual health seriously.
