When I was 17 I delayed getting the morning after pill because I was embarrassed. I didn’t have the money for it, so I had to ask others for help. I wasn’t old enough, or in a good place or position to keep a baby, so I had to go and ask the staff that worked at the shelter I lived in at the time.
It was completely embarrassing to me because sex and things along those lines have always been very awkward conversations for me, so having to go and ask someone else, especially another adult…I felt ashamed of myself after the fact for even letting it happen without using contraception, especially when I knew the risks.
