Well, this sucks.

So I've mentioned the girl I mentor here and how she's had a bad year, what with beating a girl up at school so badly she wet her pants. Just found out from the school that she's pregnant. And dropping out to go to adult school to get her GED. So now I wonder if she was lying to me about the pregnancy test I bought her being negative.. She hasn't answered my texts so who knows what's going on with her.

 I feel sad and disappointed. I just hoped for better for her life, you know? She's smart and it's a real shame that she's setting herself up to follow in her mom's footsteps of multiple baby daddies, living on assistance and in public housing.

Re: Well, this sucks.

  • that sucks, I'm sorry. I'm sure you've invested a lot of heart and soul and wanted her to not disappoint you.

    This is why I don't help people who have a long history of making poor desicions.  They rarely ever learn and simply use you for help or support when they have no other options.  It's sad, but I'd rather help out someone who is down on luck but doesn't stay in the habit of putting themselves there.

  • Oh no.  Kristen I'm so sorry.  How heartbreaking.

    I really hope she still lets you in as an influence.

  • How sad and frustrating.  It's so difficult to watch someone you care about make such stupid mistakes.  I hope she eventually contacts you and you're able to continue mentoring her -- just think what kind of trouble she'd be in if she didn't have a positive female influence like you in her life!

  • Ouch, that does indeed suck. Bright side: if she lied to you about the test, she cares about your opinion. Maybe you can encourage her in pursuing the GED. That's better than nothing.

  • Oh, man, Kristin, that does suck.  I'm sorry you have to "watch" her go through this.
  • Oof, that's rough Kristen.

  • yeah, that does suck.  I agree with Fallin though, at least she has the good sense to be too embarrassed/ashamed to admit it to you.  Hopefully you can help her make good choices for the future.  or maybe she can get a spot on the next 16 and pregnantStick out tongue
