I am 15 years old and a month and a half ago, I was raped by the man who I thought I loved. I am afraid of getting tested for AIV/AIDS. I thought I was having stomach pains because I missed my period. It was supposed to happen a month and a half ago, just around the time the man rapped me. I know I may be pregnant because a girl knows if she is pregnant or not, right? Anywho, since the rape, I have been addicted to alcohol and I can never stop because it has gotten my emotions out. If you are or may be pregnant or know any friend who is pregnant or may be pregnant, don't drink alcohol because it can really mess up everything in your body and when your baby is born, he/she can have problems so don't do anything to harm your baby or your body.
