I am new here and this is my first “post” so, please if I made any mistake, be kind with me.<br><br>Let me explain my case: I am still studying my last associate degree and I just turned 20 years old, My current job was a new opportunity in February 2022, I got this job in September of 2022 and literally I was so happy to get this job because I thought I started building my career, I am so good at doing my job even I was asked to join the board members as a junior member, I was doing very good in my job, even the board members were so happy with me, but in February of 2023, my boss (who is also my professor in the college and vice president of the company) he asked me to resign from this job, he said that he want me to resign as soon as possible because it will be a very bad situation for him if I got pregnant while working there because the vice president is my professor in college and if I got pregnant he said people will start talking about him, he said that he can't see me as a mother but he can see me as a friend, because I got pregnant by my boyfriend in the past but I had an abortion and he know it because I was so sick and I had to report myself to him that's why I told him about the abortion and he said to me that I am young and I don’t deserve to be a mother because I am too young, he said that I will ruin my whole career and my life, I don’t know what to do, I didn’t want to resign because it is my dream job and my career is everything for me but because he is my professor and my vice president, I feel so uncomfortable to be around him, I don’t know what to do, I am too stressed because of him, I fear to be pregnant because I am too young to be a mother. I know I am not in a relationship with him but he said that I am too young to have a child and I am his friend, so he don't want to see me as a mother, I don't want to resign but I don’t know what to do.<br><br>Sorry for my English, it is not my first language.<br><br>**TLDR: My vice president and professor asked me to resign because if I got pregnant people will talk about him**
