Actually, there are many StandUpGirls who respond to letters to the site. Some have had children before marriage, one has had two abortions, one adopted a child, one has a large family, one has never had sex, one had a child born with an abnormality, one has had a very difficult past involving drugs, many partners, and a second chance.

Becky, ... Read Morethe first to tell her story, was attending a particularly straight laced Catholic college when she became pregnant. She would have visited a local free clinic that gave pregnancy tests... but several of her friends volunteered there! Most embarrassing. So she bought a test, and then had to tell her boyfriend, decide what to do, then tell her parents, then his parents. It was a very difficult experience, but she has been willing to share what she learned from it over the past 9 years as the website has grown. You can write her at dearbecky@standupgirl.com if you would like to get more insight on her story in particular, or on those of one of the other girls who answer letters.

I was 12 when I got pregnant. My son's father is my step-brother. When I found out I was for sure pregnant, I told my baby's father and he was like in total shock. Ya know, he was 13 and I was 12. We were still kids ourselves. He wanted an abortion, I was like no way. I told my parents, who are My mother and his Father..., they are married so of course they weren't too happy about their childern having sex, let along having a child together. My mom is totally against abortion, so am I. My step dad was all for it and told me that's what I needed to do. I still was like no way. When I was 3 months pregnant, my mom asked me again what I am going to do. I told her I didn't have a clue at that point. I knew I loved this baby already. So, I got an ultrasound. After seeing that baby and hearing his heartbeat I was like I am in love. There's no way I could have taken on the responsibility of this little baby.Read More

I didn't even want to know the sex because I wouldl get more attached then I already was. I didn't think I could have a baby with a boy who was supposed to be my brother. So, I sat down and I talked to my mom about it a couple weeks later. We decided adoption would be a good choise for my baby to have the best life possible. My baby's father wanted... Read More no part in anything that involved this child. So, I was on my own. It was difficlut considering we live in the same house. I told my mom I would do adoption but only if it was an open adoption. So, I had this girl and her husband that were very close to our family and they agreed to take this baby for us. So, I went in again to the Doctors, I found out the sex. It was a little boy. On December 23rd, 2006, two months after I turned 13 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. He was perfect. I love him with my whole heart, I always have and always will. I am now 16 years old and he is now 2 years old, almost 3.They may have him and he may call them "Mom" and "Dad" But he will always be MY little boy. I still see him often and I get pictures just about every day.Adoption can be a good thing and Abortion should never be the answer. Age doesn't define how good of a parent you are either.

That is one of the most difficult stories we have ever seen on StandUpGirl. Your attitude of service to the child is very impressive for one so young.

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to read it. I actually helped a girl who sent me a friends request, it made me feel good. I hope my story will help other people not want to abort. Open adoption is a very good thing.

Kaila Sheffield i got pregnant when i was 15 years old & the father left me. i considered adoption but just could not bring myself to it. abortion was never ever ever an option for me. i now have a beautiful 17 month old daughter named Emilee and i have never been happier. being a young mom is very difficult but i would have never been able to live with knowing that i got an abortion or put my daughter up for adoption

I got pregnant very young too but I gave my son up for adoption. I got pregnatn when I was 12 and I had my baby two months after I turned 13. I gave him up to a very nice couple, it's an open adoption and he only lives 40 mins away. I see him often and get pictures just about every day.

I understand what you girls are going thru. I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant. I was scared to death. It was so hard. I pretty much grew-up WITH my daughter. I am now 43 and a Grandma. My daughter was a young mom, she was 23. I'm glad she waited a bit longer than me.
Question: How do I get "lifes" stuff thru to ...my daughter, when it comes to her daughter? She gets so defensive with me, and acts like she knows EVERYTHING.... I don't want to nag or bitch too much, I just want to give good advise!!! HELP!!!!Read More

so i met this guy at a theme park and stuff and i got his number and i think i like him a lot, but my guy friend who has a crush on me is saying he's just putting on a poker face and will eventually take advantage of me. I keep telling my guy friend: you don't know him, you've never talked to him and i hope you never w...ill, but my guy friend just keeps saying the same thing everyday to me. and finally i was on the last string with my guy friend and i told him to leave me the frik alone. And now the guy i met at the theme park lives all the way across the state... and i really miss him. Any ideas how we could get together?Read More

ya, but it's just so confusing! all of my guy friends have started to say it! i don't know what to do, i've tried everything to ignoring their comments to telling them to keep their opinions to themselves.. and now it's just starting to hurt me mentally that i know i have a few guy friends that i can't trust to tell what happened that weekend, night, etc.

I don't mean for this to sound mean or rude in any way, bit I wouldn't trust how you feel. I have felt that way about several guys and my guy friends said the same thing as yours. But if you really trust your heart, go for it. Ask him to the movies or somethin.
