You are 15. Very young age to be a mother....as much as the idea sounds sooo great, it's hard work. Your grandma knows if you have this baby then she or other family members will have to support him/her for the next few years until you're out of school, working and can do it on your own.
What are your chances of staying in school and being a mother?
What kind of good paying job can you get at 15?
Are you willing to give up friends and your social life for this child?
Are you ready for late night visits to the hospital, crying and you not being able to figure out why, so you're up all night doing so, late night feedings and changing dirty diapers?
Can you afford to buy all that you need for a baby, or will you expect everyone else to do it for you?
Daycare so you can work runs almost 600.00 a month for a newborn, do you have a sitter?
I'm not for abortion, really i'm not, but it might be a consideration for someone of your age, normally i would say you thought you were old enough to have sex and not be protected, so you're old enough to handle this....but the truth is, you won't be the one handling this baby, your family will have to do that financially and while your going to school or working. Are you gonna put this child on your family? you can't even drive yet, so how you gonna get around.
This decision is up to you and your family. I would seriously consider other options if the support for you is not there in your home. Deeply think about adoption.

First off, if you are pregnant, getting rid of it would be murder. The baby that is possibly inside of you has done nothing wrong. I suggest talking to a counselor to help you with making the right decision for you. If you can not handle the responsibilities of a baby then you can always give the baby up for adotion. There are many couples out there that cant have children that would do anything for the chance to have a baby to call their own.

You "think" your pregnant or do you know you are? Take a test and make sure first before everyone gets worked up about it. It might just be a false alarm. Keeping the baby is completely up to you. It's your decision, but you have to see where your grandma is coming from too. I'm not saying that getting rid of the baby is okay, but she is just worried about you. You still have time to decide what you want to do.

this is not the right age to have a baby. You need somebody's help to look after you. In that case, handling a baby is too much a burden for you and your parents. You still have got time to have a baby and a family of your own. Wait for the right time. Right now, consult a doctor and have this abortion done in a safe way. Concentrate in your studies.

First things first, it is great to hear that you want to keep your baby, after all it is growing inside of you and you have a right to voice your own thoughts. But... Do you have the financial means and support to keep the baby? Do you want to complete your enducation?take all those pointers into consideration first, think of what is best for you, what is best for your baby and finally what is best for the both of you. I suggest you tell the father of the baby and if you are planning on keeping the baby, get him and his parents to also help support the baby and you as a young mother and get the father of the child to be apart of your life as well as the babies life.

You are very young for this type of responsibility. You need to decide if you are ready to be done being a child yourself? Your fun times are over with your friends, no more late nights or parties for you. Will the father stay around to help you out and if not do you really think it would be in the best interest of the child to not have a father figure? I would be on your Grandmother's side personally.

Well you should never have an abortion! Your still young, adoption is always an option! im 16 and prego. When i first told my mom i was pregg, she told me the same thing! She was just scared! Shell get over it! My mom had my brother when she was 14 and she and him are so close! Ive never seen someon so close to thier son! Itll be okay! That baby will love you no matter what and itll be so emotional and crazy but think about it, youll always have your baby!

no one can force you to get an abortion or give the baby up for adoption even if you are a minor. You are the mother and have the same rights as all of the other mothers. It is your choice and only your choice!! Don't let them scare you into thinking different. I just did a bunch of research on this!

Why would you possibly be having sex at 15 and if you are why did you not think to use protection! Also you might as well kiss your teenage years goodbye, that baby will be with you for the rest of your life. Why don't you give it up and give it to a family that can't have a child.

being a parent isnt easy. by having this child you will probably not finish school and the chances of you going to college are slim to none. you will not have time for friends and you wont get much sleep. there will be no time for you. your life will not be lived for you anymore. it will be all about your child. at 15 i dont think that you are ready for that kind of commitment. you can kiss your life goodbye once you have this child. if you do not want to have an abortion then i recommend that you give your child up for adoption. give yourself, and your child, a chance.
