Hmmm...I don't know if what I'm saying is right, but my best advice is you've got to move on. You have done the act, and you cannot erase it. You have to accept what you did and continue on with life the best you can.

i hear you... i have had one. It has been less then a year i have dealt with it alone. It has been very hard but really now i am ok with it. I trust God can forgive me (you too) It happens and remember this.... my pastor told me this a lie is as a bad as saying a cuss word or abortion or theft or smoking or whatever all sin is the same on the forgivness level you have to forgive yourslef to though

The only thing you can do is move on. However I have to say this... don't pay attention to people that have something to say about you and your situation. WE ALL HAVE SECRETS and we all have done something that we are not proud of! you did what you felt you had to do, it is passed you cannot go back to it, so live your life and take care of yourself from here on and forget people who pass judgement, its like the bible says, let him without sin cast the first stone, just remind the people in the church of that phrase the next time they want to say something. Good Luck

I don't know what your question is. It sucked that you were raped. It sucked further that your parents didn't believe you. It sucked that they insisted that you kill their grandchild. I don't know what you want to hear.

Please keep talking to your youth pastors! Your feelings are extremely valid and you can work through them with 'understanding' people's conversation. I wish you the best and you did what you needed to do. You don't need to go through this alone. Good luck, Gymrat.

Every decision you make in your life, and everything you experience, is part of what makes you who you are. This is one such event, albeit a major one. My philosophy in life is never to have regrets for what I've done in the past, but to try to learn from those experiences and therefore grow as a person. For example, I married too young, and the last ten years of my 24-year first marriage were a living hell. I finally got out of that, and married somebody else, but if I hadn't been through what I'd been through, I might not have appreciated my new situation, and if I'd met the lady who is now my second wife earlier on, I may have been too young or inexperience to realise what a catch I'd found (or maybe she found me). Also, as others have said, ignore other people - they don't know you and although they are entitled to their opinion, you don't need to pay any attention to them. Whatever, I hope you deal with this and move on, as you've obviously got a lot of living to do yet, and you don't want it to be tainted by painful of difficult memories.

Move on. It's all over and nothing you can do.

how old are you

Whats done is done, you have to move forward. Make sure you use protection. -
You understood your mistake and wont do it again. You can get involved in pro - life campaigns, that might help you feel that even if you were wrong you will help other women to avoid it. It might bring some sense to your life. Good luck

Since you know how remorseful you are about your first abortion, ensure that you always use discretion in the future in regards to unprotected sex. Don't have it unless you are on birth control or ready to have a child. People are always going to have something to say, whether their comments are positive or negative. They will talk about the prettiest, smartest, most intelligent person, and, sadly, there is little that you can do about that. Just move forward in a positive direction and don't make the same mistakes.
