Hey guys, this is Jonathan Marc of the Philippines/Canada. I just wanted to make this for the teens out there and still having fun. I hope it would guide you for your future I'm a 16 year old teenage boy, I lived in the Philippines for 16 years, but now I'm in Canada. I barely went to this country because my dad preferred staying in the Philippines because we are Filipinos. One of the good things why teenagers like me(hard headed) says it's nice to live there was that it wasn't that strict for teenagers, we didn't really get te correct implimentation of rules; I can buy a case of beer myself as long as I have MONEY. And that's why I got into this situation... I was 13 years old and in grade 7 when i first learned and experienced drinking, I pretty liked it so I started hanging out with my friends we drank, smoked cigarettes and as years go by my vices got worse till I met this girl who swiped my "V-card" away from me. Once again I liked it ! Did I mention I was a player? So every month I had "fun" with different girls and this time I "swiped their v-cards" I never thought of what would happen to us, or in the future. In 9th grade- my graduating year back in the Philippines, I met this girl out of school, she was hot, pretty and my type. We started dating and I became serious with her, i stayed at their place, every night we'd have "fun" at her place. After 3months she broke up with me for no reason. I had no contact with her then til my friends met up with me at our favorite hang out place. I felt nervous coz' they said it's important, As we hung out they told me a shocking news. yhe reason my ex-girlfriend broke up with me was that she got pregnant and was too afraid to tell me knowing that I am a player and that I might not take responsibility for the baby. The truth is I wanted a baby. For months I tried getting her back 'til I realized I didn't love her anymore. She gave birth to a healthy boy on August of last year I wasn't able to see my baby because my ex didn't want me to see him but at least she named the baby to me and the name I wanted to give the baby. On January of this year my father passed away which made my mom decide to go back to Canada and stay here, the night before I left I went to my ex's house and I begged to see my child but she didn't let me. I left the country without seeing my own child. It was hard but I have to stand strong for my baby and I and our future. As soon as I got here(in Canada) I asked for my bro's help. He helped me talk to my ex and after a few months we got her to at least send me a picture. And there he was on my screen, Tears rolled down my cheeks as I looked at him on this very day. For the first time I saw a picture of my son. All the feelings were mixed I couldn't explain how happy I was and sad at the same time. My baby is now 1 year old and growing healthy. I can't wait to go home and see him. For the present time I'm already dating someone, she's special and she makes my daily life complete. I learned that being in rush is no good, and like what my mom says --"too much is dangerous". I may have made a mistake but that mistake was the biggest blessing I had. (Don't take things seriously everytime, never rush things coz' it's better to take it slow but smooth besides we only live ones so enjoy life and youth as long as you can) thanks for reading hope ya learned something NOTE: it's not fiction but i just felt like posting this here lol
