“Evangelicals kids dont get pregnant? You never met the preachers daughter have you?”
EXCUSE ME!!! I’m a Baptist preacher’s daughter, and Dad would’ve killed me if I’d become pregnant before marriage. The sure and certain knowledge of that fact kept me a virgin until my wedding night.
It happens. believe me.
This is no reflection on you but sometimes teens become defiant.
Often, the tighter the rules the more a kid will rebel.
I dont wish to paint all children of Preachers with that brush, but it does happen.
My bestfriend throughout childhood was the daughter of a preacher. She got pregnant at 17. They were married before the baby was born. Her family supported her completely!
My dad’s a preacher too and my sister did get pregnant at 16. Some people in our congregation villified our whole family. Of course when their daughters got pregnant they made them have abortions so their hypocrisy would stay well hidden. Having a fear of your parents doesnt make everyone abstain but it can drive you to make bad decisions out of fear. My sister knew she could rely on our parents to help even though she was scared to disappoint them.
