I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.

I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.

Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.

I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

The first and most important thing is to do a test and find out whether or not you are pregnant.

If you do the test and find that you are and you are certain you want a termination then your best bet is to see a doctor. If you are referred by a doctor then it will be free under the NHS.

You don't need to be concerned about your doctor finding out. Once you are over the age of 12, doctors must keep to patient confidentiality so it would be illegal for them to discuss anything about your health with anyone, your parents included, without your prior consent.

The only other thing I would say is that if you are pregnant, think long and hard about the consequences of a termination before you go through with it. It is entirely your choice but please remember that it isn't an easy thing to do. If you go through with it, take a friend with you because it isn't a good idea to go through it alone.


EDIT: Consequences can include depression, infection and if done later into the pregnancy, it can carry a risk of infertility. I've tracked down some information on NHS Online you might want to look at:
