friend got pregnant, and I was disappointed.
y'all, is it valid for me to feel disappointed in a friend who got pregnant? she was always like, "oh lol, i'm studying first," "i got no time for a boyfriend, study first." then, like a few months later, i find out that she's pregnant? i didn't even know that she had a boyfriend. tf, i don't know. i kind of feel disappointed because i thought she was not that type of girl who would give herself away just like that.
they were poor; she knows that, so i thought she knew better than to be reckless like the other young girls here who don't think about themselves and their living situation. the men who impregnate them don’t even take responsibility or will half-assedly do it, so i thought she was responsible enough not to end up like the girls here who were getting pregnant irresponsibly.
she dropped out of school (we were so close graduate hs), and after a few months, we stopped communicating. this was on my part; she was always the one reaching out to me, and i gave little to no effort in maintaining that friendship.
well, this was like two years ago when schools here finally opened because the pandemic had calmed down. it's a long time ago, but from time to time, i suddenly think about it, and i need some peace of mind about it, just be real.
Hell yeah it's valid. If my close friends, girls, get pregnant and all they do is "It's my right to abort", well, fuck. I'll abort myself from the friendships myself. Why the fuck would I be with hoes who don't care about their fucking responsibilities as young adults (uni students)? lmaoo
Anyway, it's not your fault. Just 'cause some of your fri......

This sounds horrible. It sounded like she really relied on you after she got pregnant considering she was always reaching out first but you straight up just stopped talking to her because she got a baby in her stomach?? It's even more messed up considering it was an accident too. Personally, I think you have no right to be disappointed and also h......

though i may not be able to relate, i can understand and empathize w you. what you're feeling, if you didn't know already, is probably guilt. you must've felt betrayed since you had such a high sense of regard for your friend who you thought was mature enough to not play around, after which i think you felt contempt towards her because she had cros......

It's okay to feel whatever you feel. In all honesty, even as an adult, your friends choose different life paths. You're not responsible for them, and you're not required to take care of them. Nobody is required or responsible for anyone else. You don't owe anyone anything, and that's something a lot of us have to learn.
Sometimes we all take diffe......

I know ppl are gonna say 'omg ur horrible you stopped talking to ur friend bc she has a baby' but I think you're in the right. I personally prefer surrounding myself with responsible and clear headed people who don't hide things from me so obviously when a person does all these to you probably didn't ecen consider you a close friend in first place ......

everyone calling op toxic but ong who cares. op clearly has a set of values that their friend used to share. when those values are broken, why wouldnt the friendship?
and op is right, a lot of teens dont realise it but they have a responsibility to not end up in situations like these. youre poor, no stable father for the child either so its just y......

I mean genuinely, why should you feel disappointed? Why are you looking down on women who "give themselves away just like that", especially if it's an accident? Because it probably would be an accident at that age, and in that you should support her. Few people probably did support her because they think of teen pregnancy in similar terms to this.

Hmm.... I think it's normal to feel disappointed in your Frn ...when they just choose a hard path in life while all along saying they gonna prioritize themselves more and have brighter future . Even more so if you guys have seen how many girls suffer more while bearing children early in poverty. It means you held her in high regards as well. Now ......

What?
I don't have the full picture but you sound like an awful friend.
1. Talking about girls getting pregnant as "giving themselves away" like... what do you mean? That she had sex? Pregnancy and sex are not "giving yourself away", women and girls aren't objects to be "given".
2. Men "impregnating" women sounds just as awful. Sex is a two side ......
