i think the first thing you should do is turn to an information source that is a little more reliable than an internet question forum...maybe a dr, they have to keep anything you want private which is great if you arent ready to tell your parents of the father. but telling them asap would be good, cos it gives everyone the chance to prepare and get things ready as well as get used tot he idea.
good luck

I am a young mother (not as young as you, I'm 25) and I find it really hard to raise a child. It is A LOT of work, even more than you can imagine. It's really hard to be a good mother at your age. No offense, I'm sure you're a great person, but the maturity, patience and financial stability required to be a good parent just aren't there.
You have a serious decision to make, and you have to make it soon depending on how far along you are into your pregnancy. If you feel you can talk to your parents, then you should immediately. They will be able to counsel you. Otherwise, try friends, counsellors, but probably the best would be to call a teen hotline. I know it sounds a bit dumb, but the people there are educated and experienced in such matters and can help you make the best decision. And what about the baby's father??? He needs to play a serious role in this too...
In the end, it's your body, your baby, your life, don't let anybody push you into making decisions you don't feel comfortable. Wish you the best...you'll be fine...

Firstly tell your parents or someone you trust who you can talk to and secondly YOU need to be the one to decide what you wanna do; you have three options.
Have the baby
Have an abortion
Give baby up for adoption
Only you can decide which is best for you and remember that which ever you decide it is a life long decision so you have to be 100% certain that you can live with it for the rest of your life.
I f you do decide to keep the child there are still a great deal of options open to you. You can put your child in day care through the day so you can carry on at school go to college/work. I won't lie Yes it will be harder you will be tired and won't be able to go out with your friends as often but you will have your child who will love you no matter what.
i had my first child at 17 and second at 19 yes it is hard work but it is not impossible and is not the end of the world.
good luck sweetie

First you need to tell your parents that you are pregnant. Then you need to decide if you are really ready to take the responsibility of a child. Its hard work but if you don't have the support that you need you might be better off giving the child up for adoption. I don't believe that the child should suffer just because of your mistake. Please learn this lesson and don't get pregnant again or too soon. Enjoy your childhood. It's hard being a single parent. If you need someone to talk to you can find support groups in the phone book and even in your community and churches. Good Luck.

Well first of all you have to tell your parents. I know your young but you have to really think about your options such as keeping the child, adoption, abortion. Because if you make a bad choice your gonna regret it for the rest of your life. I would suggest having the child or adoption I know that your young and having a child will be hard you will have to grow up and learn to deal with it. But you obviously thought you were "grown up" enough to have sex so that means your old enough to handle what comes with it. What you choose to do it's YOUR choice not what anybody else tells you to do. Either way what ever you choose your life will never be the same from here on out just make the best choice for you. I hope everything works out for you

My cousin had a baby at 15, the father didn't want anything to do with her or the baby. she went to live with her mom in CA and was talked into giving the baby up for adoption. she was very heart broken but the baby went to a wonderful home. this happened about 8 years ago. she finished school got married and has two kids and a nother one on the way. she doesn't regret doing what she did because she knows that if she were to keep the baby she wouldn't have finished school, she would not have been able to give the baby everything that he needed. I guess that it all depends on your situation but you need to think about this. are you really going to be able to give this baby what it needs?? your only 15 your just a baby yourself. i think that you should look into giving the baby up for adoption. there are tons of familys out there that are un able to have children of there own. you need to talk to your parents. please don't be selfish about this, you need to think about what would be best for this baby. good luck and god bless you.

You aren't going to be able to hide it, so first tell your parents. Second, what did that kid do to you? Nothing. Don't go for an abortion. If your parents say they won't be able to help support it, it is best that you put it up for adoption and give the baby a better shot at a good life. Let this serve as harsh lesson to you. P+V-C=B. Hope you got that one.

If I was in your position, I would tell my parents and then get an abortion. I'm not telling you to do this, because that is a BIG decision that you have to make on your own. Just try to remember that whatever you do decide on, will affect the rest of yor life (school career, marriage). I wish you the best of luck and hope that everything goes well sweetie!

you need to tell your parents, the boy that got you pregnant and his parents also, you all need to have a talk about your options and what you need to do because having a baby is a big responsibility and time comsuming, so try to figure out whats best for you in the future.
