Hmm i think your boyfriend asked the same question... I told him to own up and be there and get a part time job and most importantly FINISH SCHOOL. As for you - Consider your options. you could have an abortion (please don't tho!!!!!!!!!!) you could give it up for adoption. You could keep it and do your best to raise it. Hopefully your family will help you because it is most important to stay in school so when you get out you can find a decent job. Depending on where you are, there are programs that help teen parents. Call a crisis center and they may be able to direct you in the right direction. If this helps, my friend got pg when she was 14. Her parents were supportive, she finished high school and long story short is now married with 2 beautiful children and is a nurses aid. I got pg when i was 17, was 9 months when i graduated, then went on to college, graduated and now am an assistant scientist in a huge company. Good luck no matter what you do consider all your options and remember it is YOUR choice do not let anyone force you into anything!!!

The way I understood the question is that you and your bf are staying together for sure, your parents know and your mom supports you, and there is NO chance you're getting an abortion and the question you're asking is whether or not to give the baby away. If thats the case then I would say keep the baby because no matter what you will always love your child and while it may be hard to deal with having a baby at that age it will be much harder to deal with knowing that your child is out there somewhere with someone else taking care of it.

Calm down about it. Just have the father get a job and pay child support and stay in school. School is the most imporatant thing next to this so you need to stay in shcool and get an education so you can get a good job and support you and your child. I don't agree with abortion either so just have the child. Also you need to find out if the boyfriend will support you and the baby and stick with you during this time and stay with you or just leave because if he leaves you can have him pay child support. Its okay. I din't know how it feels to be pregant but my friend does and she says at first you feel ashamed and you just want to give up but then you think about the life that you will end that will one day do good things and you want to let this baby live. This time will pass and you will get through it.

I got pregnant as a teen also, I didn't know what to do either but then my mom took me to LDS Family Services they have free counselors that let you know of all your options (they do not support abortion) It's a great way to know what is best for your baby. I placed my baby for adoption, it was the hardest thing I have ever done but it was worth it for my baby, I couldn't give him want he needed and I wanted him to have. I still keep in contact with him and his family, he is well loved and very well taken care of. Good for you for not having an abortion! That already shows how much you love that little person inside you. Good luck!
PS now I am married to a wonderful man and can't wait to have my own children.

If you aren't ready to raise a child and there is no onw who will help you then I suggest that you give the beby up for adoption. I'm against abortion too. So if you have an easy way to take care of the baby to where it won't cause both of your lives to be miserable or deprived then you should keep it and raise it. But if it will be too difficult then you should give the baby to the hospital after you have it, or to an adoption agency.

If you aren't going to have an abortion than your only other options are to keep the baby or give it up for adoption. To be realistic the chances of you and your boyfriend staying together for ever are slim...sorry...I'm married and I have a 9 month old girl and having a baby put a big strain on our marriage...it's hard work...no sleep...cost's money. You need to look to your parents for help and advise. No matter how mad they seem...I'm sure they love you. You need to find out if they will help you raise the baby if you decide to keep it. Believe me...you can't do it on your own...and what sort of life could you give your child living in poverty on social assistance? Try to be realistic. That's my best advise...and also remember...it's YOUR baby...no one elses...

Unlike some girls, you are fortunante enough to even have your mother support you. Your smart in not choosing abortion. Just think of this....Just because your man says that he's never going to leave you, doesn't mean that along the way both of you will have a change of heart. Your still young and a baby will change everything. For example: NO MORE PARTY WEEKENDS.
All I got to say to you is: GOOD LUCK!

why tell her to get an abortion? Does your parents know? What are they saying? If you chose to keep the baby, know that everything will eventually be ok and do NOT let society get to you. They know NOTHING.
p.s. dont listen when these fools tell you to give the baby up...they must not be parents. Its not easy to just hand your own child away. Thats bull **** And some people say (like my birth mother) that they gave you up for a better life that they couldnt provide you BULL S-H-I-T because if I was pregnant and didnt have the life that I wanted for my baby, I would GET it. (I have a son and would keep him no matter what and do what it takes to provide for him properly) And thats a FACT. No excuses. Dont listen to them. Theyre talking out their asses.

It may be in your best interest to give the baby up for adoption. You can call a "loving family" from almost any college newspaper. There is almost always one in there, and they will pay for the pregnacy, maybe your food, and maybe even a little scratch.
Keeping the baby is an option, since your mom seems to like this idea, but it is important to have a man around.

Well, personally I wouldn't have made the baby in the first place, but since you already did that I suppose the best thing to do is give it up for adopiton so it can find a loving home, you still have many years of schooling and fun to have, you don't need a child with you during your teen years!
