Dear Pastor,

I am only 15 years old and my 25-year-old first cousin is moving on me, but I think I kind of like it. I am already in a relationship with my boyfriend. He is 16 years old. My 25-year-old cousin wants to keep what he is doing on the down low. I am pregnant and I don't know what to do. What if it is my cousin's child? What should I do? This is very shameful for me, but he has money and he made a lot of promises like taking me to St Kitts. I am so in love.

P. J., St. Mary, Jamaica

Dear P. J.,

If you are pregnant or think you are, you should tell your mother. I know some people will question whether or not you are speaking the truth. I am not willing to ignore you because many 15-year-old girls have given birth.

Your first cousin should be in prison and so should the man you call your boyfriend. These men must be reported to the police and I hope you will cooperate when the matter is being investigated. Just speak the truth.

If you are afraid to talk to your mother, ask someone you trust to talk to her on your behalf.

Pastor
