I’m a 17-year-old girl and have been sheltered by my family my whole life – they never let me go out with friends and activities revolved around the church.
I did have a job in a shop, but when that closed down, Mum and Dad fixed it for me to help clean the church.
I got friendly with one of the elders and he made me feel special and really listened to me.
However, I’m now pregnant and don’t know what to do, and my friends say this elder will deny the baby is his.
I can’t go for an abortion as it’s against my religion.
My parents will disown me and I feel like running away and putting the baby in a home.
