For some reason I get SO MAD when a friend of mine gets pregnant. Like I had so many friends who ended up getting pregnant, but before that they always talked about being abstinent, and not anything like that and before I know it they're having babies.. I can't stand it at all. I do not know why it bothers me so much. I support them and help them out, but there's just something that angers me about them getting pregnant. Can someone please explain to me why or how I feel this way, and how I can get over this emotion?

Just by not using a condom on one night they basically put all of their aspirations and goals off by 10 years. This is a normal reaction you are having, and a good one, at that. It shows that you have morals and values and will most likely never make the same bad choices your friends did. Although you are angry that your friends are pregnant, you should let them know that you are always there for them, no matter what, because that's what they need right now. Best wishes.

Its okay to be angry. To you its probably very disturbing that they're disrupting their lives with this mistake and that they did not care enough about themselves and take time to think about the possible outcomes. You just have to take time to realize that not everyone thinks in the same way as you do. This may be hard.

Sometime being irresponsible bothers people. It all depends on where these feelings come from. [ brunette_4_life's advice column | Ask brunette_4_life A Question ]
