Dear Pastor,
I am a born and bread church girl, but I find myself going for the guys that are quite the opposite of what my parents wish for me. I sneak out of the house to meet my boyfriend. We have sex and now I am pregnant and don't know how to tell my mother.
Pastor, I need your advice on what to do. I am 22 years old.
S., Hanover, Jamaica
Dear S.,
You have made your decision. You wanted a man and you wanted sex. You were irresponsible and the man was irresponsible, so both of you had unprotected sex and you became pregnant. You have not accepted the lifestyle of your parents and what they tried to instil in you. You jumped the fence.
Well, you are an adult and you are pregnant. Whether you tell your parents or not, they will soon find out. You sneaked out and had sex, but you can't sneak the pregnancy. It is something that they will see. And when they see it, they will have to decide whether or not they will allow you to stay in their house.
I am sure that you know it is better for you to inform them of the pregnancy before it begins to show or before someone on the road tells them of your condition.
Pastor
