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.
IN HIGHSCHOOL?! Nah your feelings are valid. As someone who comes from a third world country only we know how terrible pregnancies can be. We got poor kids here dropping out of school and whoring themselves out just for fun. Then they get pregnant as teens and the cycle continues. The craziest part is they don't want to break the cycle and reject h......

I think your feeling of disappointment is valid, but I also think you should reflect on whether or not you were a “good” friend. The disappointment, I think was because you got upset over the whole situation knowing that she lied to you (saying things about studies first) and knowing her economic status was not enough to support her and her kid......

Let's be realistic here, this situation is entirely her fault, unless she was r*ped and got pregnant. Can't understand teens who throw away their future for momentary pleasure, and according to your post I'm assuming you guys were atleast 17 (close to his graduation), that's considered almost adult. Your disappointment is natural, I suggest you to ......

The way you worded this is kinda weird and misogynistic.
You were disappointed when finding out your friend was pregnant not because she was your friend and didn’t tell you about her relationship and what was going on in her life but because
“i thought she was not that type of girl who would give herself away just like that”
Did you eve......

It is valid for you to feel disappointed but your behavior and the way you handled it isn't valid. Not every pregnant situation is "giving herself away just like that" Close cases are that wasn't intentional or maybe it might be connected to SA. She seems like the person who's really focus on their study and is aware of their situation in life; Ind......

I can sympathise and relate to you since I had a similar experience. We fall out of communication because we wanted to. On my part, the anger, disappointment and betrayal was enough to cut her off (she was pregnant before we graduated and she hid it from me).
Your feelings are valid, your action is justified but on her perspective it may not be ......

I mean it’s valid to feel a certain ways but to speak down on her accidents happen and for you to stop talking to her when she tried to reach out that’s a bad move on ur part
