How to get pregnant if you are a virgin?

Why would you want to get pregnant if you are not married? Single motherhood is very very difficult and it robs you of your chance to be a young person free to enjoy life before getting burdened with taking care of a child, which is much harder then it looks. To get a better understanding of this, see what it is like just to have your baby with you all the time by just carrying around a 5 pound sack of sugar from the time you wake up until the time you go to bed and do this for a couple of weeks. Also, if you save your virginity for your wedding night, you will be very happy that you only gave yourself to the man you really love. Otherwise sex will feel cheap and insignificant on your wedding night and you will regret that you permanently soiled your memory with prior cheap sex acts. If a boy is pressuring you to have sex, he does not love you, he just wants to use you. If he does love you he will wait until you two are married. (I am a male by the way; and not an idealist either). Let me know if you would like to talk directly with me about this.
