I just found out that one of my old
friends is pregnant. Normally I would be
happy for her, but in this situation im
not!!! Ok, i'll tell you the short
version of her story:
she (cheryl) moved here from england about
3 years ago, I thought it was so cool when
I met her, the whole accent and how
different her culture was from ours
(money, and food and all that) well
anyways, we got to be quite good friends.
She was here for 2 years, and I found out
one day (when she had come to school with
bruises and all that) that her dad was
beating on her. She didn't want to talk
about it. So she decided to move back to
england to live with her mother once
again. I was sad that she was leaving.
Well why wouldn't I be? I was losing a
good friend. But I realized that she
couldn't live here anymore. So anyways
she moved back about a year ago. I talked
to her a few times after that, and in this
time I found out that she had gotten a new
boyfriend, was now living with him, and
was heavy into the drugs. I was
disappointed that this was where she was
taking her life, but I figured it was her
life, and she wouldn't change it for me or
anyone.
Well today I just found out from her
brother (who lives here) that shes 2
months pregnant!! And still into the
drugs im about 99% sure... I can't
believe this. I don't understand why she
would let herself get like this...And to
put her unborn child at risk like this.
It makes me so sad

. I haven't talked
to her for at least 7 months now, but I
wish I could. Just to ask her what her
plans are, and if shes even thinking about
this baby at all. Well anyways, thats the
news that I thought I would share. Sorry
to vent!!
