YOU JUST GOT A TEXT FROM YOUR GIRLFRIEND: “IM PREGNANT”

Written by Gladney Center | Oct 21, 2016 3:30:00 PM

What are you feeling? Probably a lot of things. You might be wondering how this could have happened, or you might be anxious about what your families are going to say. You might even be wondering whether or not the child she’s carrying is yours. Regardless of what you’re thinking, take a second to breathe.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Now rest for a moment. The world around you is swirling right now, but the world inside of you doesn’t have to be. There is hope, because there is help. Know that there are people out there­—in your community, in organizations, and possibly in your family—who want to help you and your girlfriend simply because you are people and you are important. An great example of this is an options counselor like Ann.

Think of an options counselor as a neutral, unattached individual who can help you objectively look at your situation and determine your choices. They can give your real, raw facts, and they can also help your emotionally process what you’re going through. You can even contact one by texting 800-452-3639 today.
