I have recently had a pregnancy scare my boyfriend. Fortunantly I am not but having the possibility of it happening I realized I am to young for sex and cannot deal with the consequences. Has anyone else felt that some event in there life has changed there outlookWhat are a few events that have changed your perspective on life?Funny because for me it was when I got pregnant. I was 19 and married. We were expecting our first child. We lived on our own and had jobs. Today my son is 10, and I am no longer married to his father. We are still in contact and are cordial with each other but that is as far as it goes. I have since remarried and my husband is wonderful with my son. It took about 4 years to fully trust him with my son. See when I was younger my mother's husband did some not so good things to me. So the 'idea' of a stepfather has always left a bitter taste in my mouth. I learned from the mistakes my mother made with her life and with her daughters. I used her experience as my own (and not to follow what she went through). Really that was another life changing experience. I have forgiven my mother for all that has happened. I see it this way, I prefer for all the mistakes to have happened as I was growing up rather than as my son was growing up. This mind frame has kept me from many mistakes. Not that I am perfect, because I have made some not so smart decisions but I have been rather lucky that the bad choices I have made weren't life changing. My mother and I have a great relationship, now. And my son is very close with her, which makes me happy. She is a very different grandmother than a mother. I like her more now! She knows that I love her tons and understand that her mistakes and choices whether good or bad have only benefited me as a mother today. Sorry if I went off a bit, guess I just needed to share.What are a few events that have changed your perspective on life?28 days in a coma !What are a few events that have changed your perspective on life?Too much drugs.

Marrying my wife (pre-son era), I grew up fast.What are a few events that have changed your perspective on life?This sounds kinda stupid, but when i was 12 I went into some sort of depression. I wouldn't classify it as real depression, because instead of just thinking of killing myself I think I would've actually attempted something, but anyway. After i got over it, I've tried to be very open minded and caring towards all types of people. It's been about 7 years, so...7 years of trying to be understanding!
