Juno hasn't made it easier

I watched the movie with a friend. Never thought it would be me. Found it funny and thought, "it's not so bad". But now that girl is me. Except I am no quirky girl with the chance of adoption. I come from a background where that is not an option. I am to live with the consequences of unprotected sex. I don't have a polly bleaker to care for me later. I am alone as I walk through the hallways. My stomach is only slightly showing. It won't be long before the whole school goes without knowing. I won't be alone for long. This problem persists in every high school. Without sex ed. and birthcontrol options this epidimic will keep growing. Juno didn't make it any easier for me. I can't start class without squeezing into my seat. Teen preganancy is real and nothing like the movies. Be wise and careful with whom and what you are doing.
