"Skate hard, turn left."


When I thought I was pregnant, it was like the

whole world
was laughing at my misfortune

They say that teenage fathers don’t have
to take any responsibility for
their child

Parents need to tell their little girls to be
prepared for anything, even missing
periods

After the scare, I was told that
as a woman I would have to stay
at home with the child

Men really don’t understand what
might happen if their girlfriends became
mothers at an early age

Horror movies are not made up of
hideous monsters but of
hidden tests and tears

Children don’t understand the
chants of protestors that say that the
chamber of the womb is their property

Nor do they look for hatred or the
negativity facing their
new parents

Love can be
lost with young parents but the children
let it come home

Cool title, is it giving us a hint? The part about horror movies really hit me; how scary if you were raped or something (not sure what happened to your char. yet) and then became pregnant. The third to last stanza is slightly confusing; maybe clear it up a little bit. Interesting how the pregnancy test didn't end up negative. With that title, I expected it to be about a negative pregnancy test; instead it was about the negativity of the situation. I challenge you, however. Put some positive things somewhere in here. Your character is creating a new life and that's important to acknowledge.
