why would you lie? *update pg 3*

[rjb]

about being pregnant?
a girl i used to go to school with had the status: i hope i'm not preggo
like two days ago.
now her status is: feet are swollen and hurt, and my belly is getting big.

like, 2 months ago, she was posting about how she couldn't ever have kids.
this is the second person i know using a fake pregnancy to get attention
it just makes me so mad.
do they think it's funny?

I totally know what you mean!! Why do it? One of my so called best friends told me she was pregnant and then told facebook she had a miscarriage.. When I confronted her she confessed everything. It's not big or clever to lie about something like that! I hope you're ok x

 

[rjb]

i'm alright, i'm just upset because she'll probably lose interest in a week and then claim she had a miscarriage. and its so unfair to lie about because ral people go through that, and it's a painful experience.

 

[EffyKat]

I totally agree!! It's a painful subject no matter what, but to lie about it! x

 

[MissCherry15]

i know what you mean. also ive been accused of lying before though
i was pregnant. and had a chemical. every one said i was lying to get my ex back etc. and some that i had aborted it :/ i felt so shit cause even my doctor knew and its in my medical records

 

[rjb]

that's awful
but i really don't think she is because it takes a lot longer than 2 days for your feet to swell or your stomach to grow.

There was a girl a few years under me who always lies about everything. She had a crush on one of my old male friends, and she followed him everywhere around the school, and one day he turned round to her and shouted "Seriously F*CK RIGHT OFF!", next day she accused him of rape. Found to be lying, then a few month later started going out with a boy in my year who I spoke to. Being 14, and him being nearly 18, he said he wasn't going to sleep with her until she was at least 16 (he was still a virgin, don't think he was one of those boys who just says it to sound nice) and then she got really posessive and threatened to kill his little sister because he spent more time with her . So he dumped her, and then she was like "Oh, I'm pregnant with his baby" to everyone and everyone was giving him shit for sleeping with her (even though he hadn't), and then she kept saying, "I've found out it's a boy!" on Facebook (apparently at 6 weeks pregnant, alarm bells should've been ringing for everyone at this!) and then a week later said she had a miscarriage. Stupid inconsiderate little girls these days xx​

i want to tell them to f*ck off, but it's just the attention they want.
it just makes me so angry.
they get attention from people who think they are pregnant
and then they get attention because people think they miscarried.
it's sick.

 

[Brionybaby]

So many people lie about it, i really don't understand why.. Its sick!! x

I haven't yet been back to my school to see if I can, but I'd like to take LO in quite soon after he's born and give a talk to all the girls about what it's like to actually be a Teen Parent, and tell them how infuriating it is to see some girls lie about it, and hopefully that will get my point across, because they only seem to listen to their peers.

I did a week long student teacher placement with a uni course I used to be part of and I told all the girls not to wear orange makeup and not to sleep around because no matter how popular it makes them with boys and whatever, it makes girls in the years above them look down on them and laugh at them for being so "easy" and whatever and how when they meet/fall in love with someone, they might lose them if they've been a little too "promiscuous" beforehand.

And since then, I've only seen one or two of them take the slutty, orange girl path , so feel quite proud of myself for that ! xx​

it terrible i dont know why girls use it for attention!!!

while i was at school a girl in the same year as me was getting threatned for beating someones 13 year old sister up (by the girls siter who was older)
she later claimed she was pregnant......

it werent for another 6 months ppl started realising she wasn't and even the babys dad know that she wasnt........

she went out and got pregnant jus to prove that she wasnt lying but she was

 

[babytime1992]

I don't understand why someone would lie about something like that...that's so terrible. It would be sad if the only way you could get attention was to fake a pregnancy.

 

[excitedmumtob]

The thing is.. these silly little girls dont realise that there are genuine people out there who have lost babys and struggle to get pregnant and most of all people who cant have children and then you get them type of SELL OUTS - sorry - rant over!! it makes me so angry xxx

 

[rjb]

it really is sad. i can't stand it when they do..
i want to show them what it's like to see people kid about that kind of stuff after you've been through it.

I don't think these girls realise how much it effects people, one of my friends split up with his girlfriend and a few days later she claimed to be pregnant, said she'd gone to her 12 week scan without him but that he could come to the 20 week scan. for 2 months he was so excited about being a dad and had started putting money aside so that he could buy things for the baby, and even bought a few little things. when it came to the date that she claimed her 20 week scan to be on, she made excuses saying it had been cancelled & pushed back 2 weeks, 2 weeks later she said it'd been cancelled again. he got worried that she wasn't getting the right care so called her mum to talk about it, and she had no idea that her daughter was apparently pregnant, then it all came out that it was lies. he was absolutely heartbroken it's a horrible, horrible thing to do x

At least he called her mum, bet she went apesh*t at her daughter for it! Bloody serves her right if she did! xx​

exactly
, i had a miscarriage at 17 and it was actually tragic. not something people should lie about.

I've come across the same thing. There was a girl in my school that said she was pregnant like literally 10 different times. One time she told everyone she was pregnant and told everyone this guy was the father and he FREAKED out and was terrified and he even tried to get a better job and stuff until one day someone cornered the girl in the bathroom and forced her to take a pregnancy test which came out negative.

 

[Tanara]

try one of your closest friends. She was apparently pregnant for 2 months, then all the sudden she was bleeding. So i went to the hospital we sat in emergency for 5 hours. They asked her to come back the following day because they had to send away some blood work.

Well our other best friend took her to the hospital the next day and she had to tell them they were sisters so she could be with Dom, They told her that she wasnt ever pregnant, it all must have been in her head.

It made both of us very angry since she knows how much we both struggled with our kids, not to mention all the baby stuff we gave her that she never bothered to give back. She had us both convinced she was pregnant when really she just wanted to make her boyfriend stay with her, And get a little attention.

 

[abbSTAR]

UGH! I know it really frustrates me, at around 14 weeks i started bleeding and i honestly thought id lost my baby and i was utterly heart broken, and only two of my closest friends knew and they went around accusing me of lying about ever being pregnant. But here i am at nearly 42 weeks pregnant, so i obviously wasn't 'lying' and for me to have people accuse me of it really upset me because i was trying to deal with thinking id lost my baby. (I started bleeding whilst in school and told them i think im having a miscarriage then when i went to the doctors and everything it was all ok, but they had gone around telling people id lied)

and ever since i started showing and everything there was a girl in the year below me saying she was pregnant and i confronted her, i was like what your doing is sick! stop attention seeking your not pregnant, you've seen whats happened to me and your trying to be cool. And ive even had people say to me, omg your your so lucky i want a baby... and she told me about how her and her friend discussed having babys at the same time they aren't dolls you can just switch off when they cry.
