Read a short story by Will Weaver about a young girl who gets pregnant.
Background
The author of 'Wishing It Away', Will Weaver, is famous for his short stories for young adults. In this story, he writes about a young girl, Belinda, who skips school to be with her boyfriend. She has sex with him in her room, not too concerned with birth control, and becomes pregnant. Although Belinda seems to make many bad decisions in the story, she may not be the only one to blame for her misfortune.
