3 When she was 16 she moved into her dad's house and started living the life of a wild child and got in with the "freak" crowd at school. Amber

4 Her boyfriend was a burnout slacker. And even though they tried to be careful when they had sex, she got pregnant as a Junior in high school, she didn’t finish school and ended up getting her GED. Amber

5 Her boyfriend left her right after the baby was born and has no contact with them.

6 Christina She found out on New Years Eve of her sophomore year she was pregnant.

7 She was scared and alone, and had never thought that her boyfriend would leave her. She always thought he'd be there to support and comfort her. She was wrong; he was only thinking of himself and how much this would "ruin his life." Christina

8 Her baby's father told her and her friends, things like “Her baby and her would die in childbirth", he wanted to kill her and was talking about ways he could. Just a week before her baby's birth, he told one of her good friends that if she didn't give the baby up for adoption, he'd "try to find a discrete way to kill it.” Christina
