I know everyone does silly things that they regret when they are young but I cant seem to stop thinking about this. Two years ago I lied about being pregnant, not once but twice with 2 different men. I done this for attention because I didnt like it when they dumped me. I lied about having abortions both times. I know how ridiculous it sounds now and I wish more than anything I could turn back time and change this. My parents even found out with one of the men and I had to pretend I didnt know what they were talking about but I know that they think I was either lying or I did have an abortion, which makes me feel more ashamed than ever. I live in a very small town and because of my wild reputation most people know me. The two men I lied about also know each other. Now that I have settled down, I have a brilliant career, nice boyfriend, my own place and my old lifestyle is in the past Im petrified that this is going to come back to haunt me. I have contemplated telling them both that I was lying but this would make me look like a complete mental case. It wasnt just the two men I lied to, my friends also know and so did theirs. I hate the thought that people think I was pregnant by 2 different men in a year when its not even true. I dont know what to do!

You need to think about how your friend would take it, if you say you were really sorry, then atleast someone will understand. As for the men, I wouldn't worry to much, as far as they're concerned they don't have a kid with you, try staying friends with them and if they every bring it up prehaps you could tell them only if they're very understanding or will laugh it off. I'm sure your not the only one whos done this, Maby even say it was a dare. At least you'v got the all clear i'v got another two - three years at a school where everyone thinks im a whore, drunk and a druggy, I did it for attention to, boy do I regret it.
