Note: Before I continue on with this article, I just wanted to say that I am considering for this to be some sort of story but I’m not sure if I can commit to completing it all straight away. I would like to finish it but due to my studies and other commitments, I can’t guarantee that it will all be posted up one straight after another. I don’t even know where I want to go with this story, either. Doesn’t matter anyway, I don’t think many people will be interested, he he. If you have any ideas for me, though, like real life based situations or something, pop a comment below. I’m eager to take advice and ideas.

Read Diary Of A Mixed Up GIrl Part 1 here.

BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP! The alarm clock nags me to get up. It’s 8am. No way am I going to school today. I have too many decisions. I would normally go to mum about things like this… but my mum’s not around anymore. She passed away two years ago.

I don’t have a dad, either. Well, no, actually that’s a lie. I do have a dad, but I’ve disowned him. Because he was cheating on Mum and she never found out. He’s also an alcoholic. I told him face to face that I never want to see him again. I still stand by that.

So where do I live? With my foster mum, Adele. I can’t wait until I’m eighteen. Freedom at last. Adele isn’t that bad, I suppose. She’s just more interested in her own kids and when she isn’t fussing over them, she’s in work doing overtime to afford to take them places. Obviously, I do get invited, but it’s not my scene. I’m not into baby things.

Ugh. Baby. I have one growing in my belly. Great. If Adele found out - no, if my social worker found out - I’d be dead meat. But my mum and I have always been against abortions. I don’t want to give this kid up. I know I won’t be the world’s best mother, but I think it’s unfair to not even give this kid a chance.

Then again, if I do keep it, I can kiss my education goodbye. I want to be a primary teacher but with a kid of my own on my hands, it won’t go to plan, will it? I’ll have to have time off school.

I mean, my school is rough. I wouldn’t even survive there, let alone the baby. Year 11 is the important year. I’m going to miss my exams. Not ideal. I have no clue what to do. Do I keep it like I want to and risk my education for my mistake? Or abort it and pretend like nothing happened? *Sigh* I don’t know.

Note: Okay, this is where I’d like your help. Should she keep the baby or abort it? What do you think? I need some ideas because I have two ways I could lead this story, but I’m stuck on which way to take it.

@Miss_Survivoroxoxo - I think that you should write both routes, and submit them and give the reader the choice between the two, that way then they can follow both ways aswell, i sure would love to ready both sides of the stories, and to read about the different struggles and decisions that the pregnant person has to make,

My friend and I have read it and we both have opinions:-

Josie:- "I think she should abort it for her career. She's too young. My mother was a young parent and she found it totally hard because she couldn't cope..."

Jazz:- "I agree with @eddie secretary, it'd be good to see both sides. Like how it affects her, losing the baby and how it affects her with the baby..."

Really good story! xx

Well, the most plot developing thing would be to keep it. Although, personally, I think anybody under the age of 18 is too young to have a child and even then I would highly advise against it until you're at least... what, 25, maybe? Live your own life first, before you start living someone else's.

I like the idea of writing the two sides of the story but I am unsure of keeping it up. I suppose I could do the two and then you guys vote on which one I should stick to? But only like do the two sides once, not continuously stick to it, because I believe it will be hard to keep up, I like focusing on one thing at a time. Thanks for your ideas :D
