What would of happened if you were 13 when you were pregnant?

Answer 1

I would have been in huge trouble with my family. My parents were very active in their church, so I would be grounded for life. They would have helped me raise the baby and I would have kept it...but it would be a hard life and I would have had to grow up quick and miss a lot of oportunities because of caretaking for another person.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if you just want to know about how this has been received thru the generations, but if you were ? I am 55 and my friends and I were reflecting on how if we were pregnant before married, we would be sent to our aunts home who lived the farthest away so no one would ever know and a lie would be made as to why we disappeared for a year. Abortions were illegal. The baby would be put up for adoption. Good or bad,thaqt is just what happened. How much has changed since those days. Actually, in the 1800's school teachers couldn't show their ankles nor ears, could not date, could only read the Bible, and that's all I can remember, but life changes ! maybe now younger people will understand why older people are often offended at some younger people's choice of dress because they couldn't even show their ankles !!!!! Imagine that ?

Answer 3

Some of the people who have answered this question should never be allowed to reproduce. I hope it isn't you that we are talking about, but if it is you will be fine. First thing is to talk to someone you can trust. I do believe a smart person said that in one or two of the answers you received. Next is to get to a doctor. I gave birth to a baby girl at the age of 15. Not the brightest thing I ever did. It was what it was. Now at 37, I look back, What ever you do, do not do it alone. I did try to keep my baby. We were fine. We had a welfare check and food stamps, grandpa helped with diapers. I got kicked out of where I was living, and ended up living over a bar. All at age 15. We were fine. One evening I picked up the phone and made a call to an aunt to pick the baby up, I had put her up for adoption at age 6months. she is now 21 and beautiful. I met her again when she was 15.

Answer 4

At 13, I was still playing with Barbie, my Cabbage Patch Kids, jumping rope, playing hopscotch, hanging out with my friends, riding my bike, drooling over the 80s celebrities & doing other kid & teen stuff.

Sex wasn't even on my radar yet. I'd learned some of the "birds & the bees" by reading the encyclopedia at the library because my mother & grandmother absolutely refused to discuss it with me. My great-grandma helped me understand whatever was confusing for me.

Boys were becoming cute & handsome but mostly I thought they still had "cooties". I knew I didn't want any part of them other than an outer circle type friendship, at school or around the neighborhood.

IF it had happened, I know I would've been in HUGE trouble, not to mention what would have happened to the boy/man who got me that way. We were very Catholic then & I probably would've been sent to a home for teen mothers or something similar. I doubt I would have kept the child. I may have opted for adoption.

Answer 5

I'm going to answer this question very openly, if i was 13 again and i tried to be an adult and have sex and i got pregnant, my mom would have made me have the child, this reason is because if you can lay down and do the dirty you can be an adult and help raise that child. now u didn't state whether u was 13 so just in-case if you are this is what your parents should say, if your pregnant your going to have it, your still going to school, when you get home from school you can change the baby, feed the baby, bath the baby, rock the baby and put him/her to bed, after that you can finish your homework, get your shower then go to bed, if that baby wakes up its your responsibility to tend to that baby, you were grown enough to make this baby, its time you grow up and take care of your baby.

Answer 6

You need to speak to an adult and discuss all of your options if this is your situation. If your parents are approachable go to them. Otherwise a health professional would be a good place to start. At 13 this would be a huge responsibility to take on as you yourself are still a child. Don't let anyone decide for you, but you must know all your options available to you.

Answer 7

My mom would of said i am disappointed in you but we will handle this and everything will be fine. My dad would of went ballistic and proubley stop talking to me for a long time. Our relationship may not of been able to be salvaged. My mom was always someone i could count on my dad was a good guy but has some hang ups. He is too strong minded for his own good and does not except change. he wasn't happy when i had my son at age 26 because the way i went about it but everything worked out and he loves my son to death now

Answer 8

Old enough to have sex old enough to take the responsibility of caring for it..granted you might need parents help until ur old enough to get a job and suport it..but u should of been more careful.some states ur allowed to work at 14..don't give it up though..I was 15 when i had mine..moved out lived with his dad finished school worked part-time got a college degree..I am 30 now and would not of changed a thing..GOOD LUCK..it is tuff but u can do it..

Answer 9

Well I would have to give some serious thought to how I would approach my parents. I don't think they would've been that happy especially if i didn't finish high school. Everyone has there own opinion but talk to someone if you are scared and need help. (and I mean a real person to person talk)

Answer 10

I would have probably had an abortion. Although I didn't even know what a blow. job was let alone have sex! My parents did good by me!

She's asking hypothetical questions. They aren't to be taken seriously. Where in that question does it say the asker is 13 and pregnant? No where so stop assuming!
