The personal fable is something that I remember well as a parent. The personal fable is an adolescent’s belief in the uniqueness of their personal experiences and their personal destiny is the personal fable. I could relate with the girl in the video, as I became pregnant as a teenager as well. While I was listening to her speak I was shocked that she believed that bad things would not happen to her. That she was different and it wasn’t very likely that the same things that happened to others would actually happen to her. She also mentioned that she hadn’t pictured herself as a mother “this young” and literally seemed shocked that she was in this situation at this point in her life.
