I think it is best to go through with the pregnancy. There are a lot of agencies that help young mothers like you. I work at a preschool so I think it is best to let you unborn baby have a chance. I believe you could be a good mother. Try to get your boyfriend involved in the raising of your child it is not fair for you take on the burden yourself.

No don't abort your baby that is a sin. I believe you should have your baby and raise it the best way you possibly can. I don't really think adoption is the way to go unless you really cant supply your child with the necessary things you need to survive. You should have the baby and get help from the clinics that offer help to single parents. You should also get child support form the baby's daddy. You can do it. You can raise a child and have a career. If you abort the child you will probably live with regret your whole life for killing the poor Innocent baby who did nothing to be killed. If you do decide to put the child up for adoption wouldn't you wonder what happened to you kid? Wouldn't you miss your child? Wouldn't you wish you never had given you child up? Wouldn't you wonder if your child was in better hands if your child had stayed with you? Wouldn't you regret giving your child away, a wonderful gift God gave to you? Although you probably didn't want the child. But it is a gift of life. So think about all this before you make your last decision.
Best of LUCK

Ignore the people who try to make you feel guilty. You need to do what is best for you right now. You are way too young to raise a child, and having it will most likely eliminate, or at least incresae the difficulty of many opportunities you could have in the future (college, family, career, etc). If you have this child, your life will never be the same and you will miss out on many things most people take for granted.
That being said, many people do have kids young and they do ok. Many other people also experience psychological consequences, including extreme guilt, with their abortions. Make sure you knwo how you will react before doing this, because it might traumatize you, in which case you should consider adoption, or at least counseling.
If it were me, I would have it, and then get some good birth control. Right now, its not a child, just a group of cells that are dividing up and will eventually form something that will develop into a child. It can't think or feel, and hasn't developed any sense of who you or it are.
Do what you think is right. Planned Parenthood might have counselors to help you decide.

If I were in ur place I would keep the baby or think about giving it up for adoption because there some people who can't have kids and would love to have a child of there own but if you do keep it , it will be hard and yes I think it is a sin to kill the baby but that's just me ether way it's going to change ur life

You can always give the baby up for adoption. There are a lot of families that cannot have children and want them. I had an abortion when I was 18 and never got over it. I still cry when its 'birthday' comes. I am 29 years old now and have 2 children with my husband and I always wonder what he/she would have been like. Bottom line it is your desision and only you can make it. Try going to your local planned parenthood they can help you or maybe to a church. Make sure you think long and hard about your decision, it is not one that you can take back

first off ((hug)) I was pregnant with my first baby at 17. First off, only YOU can answer for your self is abortion is a sin. You need to be sure that you can provide the best life possible for this baby. Are you willing to a) eat healthy and give up any unhealthy habits for the next 8-9 months to ensure your baby is healthy? b) raise your baby on your own, if your mom and the baby's daddy isn't going to help you out? c) could you place your baby for adoption to give it the best life possible?
But remember, only YOU can make the decision. It's just a long hard road to walk at 16.
Good luck, and again... ((hug))

Myself I'm prolife, I'm 19 and 16 weeks pregnant, but I won't judge other people. You need to decide for yourself if it's a sin to you, and what you can live with. A baby is a lot work and needs many things, you may also want to consider adoption. The most important thing you can do is sit down with your parents and tell them the situation i relise it maybe scary but in the end you will feel a lot better.

This is an easy answer to a very difficult problem. Follow your heart. Everybody knows that it is wrong to kill your child. But you are too young to be a mother. It is in your child's best interest for you to put her up for adoption. All your medical expenses will be paid for and both you and your child will be well taken care of. It will be hard to give up your baby but you will be able to live with yourself knowing that you made a courageous and loving decision for your child. Good luck and God bless the two of you.

Honey I would not want to tell you anything to go against your mom but God that that he knew us before he put us in our mothers womb. That tells me it is very wrong to kill your baby. I had my first baby when I was 17. I didn't know if I could take care of him or not but I Sue would not abort nor would I give him away. There are agencies out there that will help. How about he father of the baby?
