ANSWER: Dear Katie,
I gather you had unprotected sex, is that correct? How long ago did this happen, and how many times? Have you missed your period?
Write back with that information, and I will answer all of the questions in this message as well as the next, if you have any additional questions.

QUESTION: we had sex a couple months ago...i havent had my period but im fakin it with red dye so my mom dont find out...but my periods are also very irregular so i dont know whats really goin on with me...
Answer
Dear Katie,
There is definitely a possibility that you are pregnant.
"i really wanna tell her but im afraid of wat she might think...How do I lay it on her without her yellin at me and chasin me down in dissapointment??"
Make sure she is not in a bad or sad mood, first of all. Secondly, tell her you need to talk to her in private. When you are alone with her, tell her that you really need her help right now. Then tell her the whole story.
I have a daughter, and I love her more than anything. That is how your mother feels about you, too, so remember that. There is nothing that you could do that will ever change that, either. NOTHING.
"and also I work at the church as a jr. high sunday school teacher (i kno not very pure of me but i was drunk which is also bad) How do i explain myself to my students and the other adults that will probably talk bad about me behind my back?"
I take it you are Christian, right? Jesus taught how important forgiveness was. Tell them you made a very big mistake, but you are sorry about it, and then ask them to forgive you. They have to forgive you if:
1) You are sorry (repentent)
2) Ask to be forgiven.
Talking behind your back about you is gossiping, and that's a sin. Someone wrote this on a message board, and it is really good:
"First and foremost, God considered gossip to be such a serious matter that He included the avoidance of it as one of the Ten Commandments. "Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" (Exodus 20). When you repeat something you heard from someone else, or share a story where you're not 100% certain the facts are correct, or even share information about another person that will only bring them harm and not good, you are bearing false witness against them. Since the second greatest commandment is "Love your neighbor as yourself," you would be breaking that one as well by gossiping. Would you gossip about yourself to others? If not, then why commit that act against your neighbor?"
I hope this helps.
Take care,
Deb
