loosing friends..

[missriddler]

Hiya all I'm Steph, I'm 18 and almost 14 weeks pregnant. I've never had many friends just the odd couple and most are really supportive apart from one or two who are totally ignoring me now. I'm not too bothered I mean ive got this amazing new life to bring into the world, but they were supposed to be my friends?

I think every one goes through times like this. Especially teenagers, your friends go off and do their own thing because you no longer fit in with their way of life. i lost a few myself over the summer when i first found out i was pregnant. the good thing about this is it makes you realize who your real friends are. Friends come and go, you will gain new ones along the way, but this little baby will be yours forever! stay away from the people that cause stress in your life. your little one only deserves the best.

I lost my two 'best friends' when I was pregnant with my son and a few others and I was left with two friends. I'd rather have few true friends than lots of fake ones though!

If a "friend" can't be your friend because you're pregnant then they are definitely not a real or good friend and you are better off without them. Keep your head up.

it always sucks to lose someone you have considered a friend and your back up system especially in times like this where you do need support and understanding more than usual.

but... as everyone here said: friend in need is friend indeed... and there will be many occasions in life where you'll be able to filter out the gems from the pebbles. and it is like this in life: you CANNOT have more then a few real friends, just because it is hard to dedicate your time truly and fully to more than those few. they will come and go but the number of the closest ones won't vary much.

i know you guys are an internet/facebook generation, i'm not a teen and my generations and before grew up without internet, cell phones and social media, we had a chance to meet the real world were friendships were limited but filtered out since the very young age. i think in the world of today, having so many superficial acquaintances called friends makes it a bit confusing, in terms of... we had less possibilities of mistaking on who we could rely on, just because we had less options.

anyway, social studies asides, it sucks losing important people, but it is priceless knowing who your real people are. try focusing on being a good friend to them and make those flowers grow

Pregnancy and parenting are the biggest "friendship" tests you will ever endure. You truly find out who your "true" friends are.

I know it's kind of hard, but once the baby comes you honestly care less and start talking to new people who actually don't care that you are a teen mom. I had one of my best friends tell me that I was ruining my life by keeping my first child and told me and my mom I should have got an abortion. Now I am 17 and expecting baby #2 in July I am 14 weeks 5 days.
