No longer good role model!

Got "fired" as a youth group counselor at my church because I am pregnant and not married and they don't want the kids to think that this is appropriate behavior! I am so mad! I couldn't believe that! I put my time and energy every week into something I don't even get paid for and I love these kids! Really upset right now!

Why is it that the people that are not supposed to be judgmental are the worst?  The church I grew up in would do the same thing.  We were not allowed to listen to rock and roll music and no 2 piece bathing suits at any youth function.   We were not even allowed to dance!  But guess what?  I can name several of the elders who's children got pregnant out of wedlock.   I had to giggle.  That will teach them to judge!

Wow im sorry. I highly doubt the kids see you as a horrible role model. You have put so much into that program and that's wrong to take it away from you like that
