TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
Look, I'm 15 and I just had an abortion. My ex-boyfriend had a really bad temper, so any time we would even kiss he would like get into it. I hate him for everything he did to me and what he put me through. To make it even worse, I wanted to keep my baby, but didnt cause I was afraid of my parents. They are keeping locked inside the house and I have no where to turn. I get head aches all the time and all i want to do is sleep and stay home. I have never put myself first and probobally never will, its how i grew up. How do i handle this?
