7th to 8th grade change

WELL MY NAME IS NICOLE, I'M 14, NO I'M NOT PREGNANT BUT TWO OF MY FRIENDS ARE... THE REASON THE TITTLE IS 7TH TO 8TH GRADE CHANGE IS BECAUSE IN THE SCHOOL I USED TO GO TO GIRLS USUALLY GET PREGNANT IN THE 8TH GRADE AND I REMEMBER THOSE TWO FRIENDS OF MINE IN THE 6TH AND 7TH GRADE SAYING THEY WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, NOT THIS AGE . . . WELL THIS YEAR (8th grade) I MOVED.

I STARTED AT A NEW SCHOOL BUT I'M NOT EVER FORGETTING MY FRIENDS IN MY OLD SCHOOL.

I VISIT THEM EVERY TIME I GET A CHANCE . . THE LAST TIME I VISITED THEM WAS WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT BOTH OF THEM BEING PREGNANT.

AND ITS SAD BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS COME TO ME FOR ADVICE AND THIS TIME ALL I COULD DO IS BE THERE FOR SUPPORT . . I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO TELL THEM.

I WAS SHOCKED . . WELL YEAH THEY'RE BOTH ONLY 13 . . AND LOST
