ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY you are too young to be a parent. But, here you are, almost a mother. So now it's time for you to grow up and start making some responsible decisions. (And abortion is NOT a responsible decision.) Age should not be the only factor used to decide what to do now. Do you have a support system (people who love you and who will help you through this)? Do you have the finances available to support a baby? Do you WANT to be a mother now? Are you ready to put your life on hold to put your baby's needs first? You need to do some soul searching and figure out what is best for everyone. Just remember that your baby did not ask to be conceived. Your baby is innocent and deserves a chance to be born and lead a productive life. If you cannot keep this child, please consider giving him/her a chance by placing him/her up for adoption. There are so many people who would LOVE to give your baby a wonderful home.

An abortion can only take place before the first trimester (3 months) is up. You should consider what it takes to raise a baby. You could birth the baby and put them up for adoption, but you can not garuntee that they will get a good home. 16 may be too young seeing as you are probably still in school and have little education to fully support yourself and your child. However again it is up to you. I personally would never abort or put my child up for adoption because it goes against my morals and beliefs. You should think about it heavily and look at all the different aspects that are included with raising a child.
Here are just a few things you should consider:
Do I have the money?
Can I provide for them emotionally?
How will I have child care during school and working hours?
Do I have room to raise a child?

You know people make mistakes.. I think it is young but not that young, if you love your baby and you know you will be a great mom then do the right thing. I had my first at 19 and know he is 5 and 1/2. I am so happy to have him in my life he makes everyday a d day to wake up to and smile. He is my little man and I can't wait for the day he meets the woman in his life and comes over with his wife and kids and we all have family fest together. I would really think of the future and how will you feel 5 years from know. Don't make a decision that you will regret. I get the stares from people who think I am to young and you know what? I just stand back and smile because I take great care of my son and there is no one that I know of that can love him more then I love him.

This is totally up to you. Do what you think is best for you and your baby. But my suggestions: Yes I think 16 is too young, it may be exciting and sound fun but you really don't know what your getting yourself into. And might I suggest adoption, abortion is just a quick fix in your situation and that would be a selfish thing to do. Give your baby a chance, it may be hard to carry your baby full term and give birth just to give it up for adoption but think about your baby not yourself! The baby didn't choose to come into this world! Abortion should not be an option in your case!!! Hope this helps

No u aint too young to have the baby, im pregnant with my first baby and im 16 i'll be 17 when i have the baby! and im proud to be having the baby, i'll do my best to love it and provide for it. just becoz im not 30 odd doesnt mean i cant be a good loving mum!
people on here really get up my nose sayin get an abortion give it up for adoption u shouldnt do any of them!
u will be a fantastic mum even at that young age, im sure there will be friends and family to support u.
i wish people would lay off with the comments like ure stupid for gettin pregant in the first place, ure too young u shouldnt have it, yeh u might of mad a mistake but that mistake could be the best mistake of you life.
young mums ARE just as good as older mums to be!
just becoz she is young doesnt mean she cant give the love to her baby like a older mum would.
i wish all the best to you mate.
good luck.
and i hope u have a beautiful healthy baby, that will bring you so much happiness xxx

It's your choice... but having a baby at 16 is going to be really hard. Baby's cost a lot of money... and your parents aren't going to want to take on that burden for very long. Your life as you know it will end, and a new one will begin. You will miss out on being a teenager, which is something you can never get back.
Do you feel like you could offer this child the life it deserves... it takes more that love!!

Keep the baby. I don't believe in abortion. I have had 3 miscarriage in the past and I would have gave anything if my babys would have lived, but they didn't. You are young but your better to be a woman and keep that baby, you did lay down and do it so be a woman and raise that baby. Best of luck.

i believe that if you can support and take care of the baby then keep it cuz it will end up being the most amazing experience of your life but if you decide your not ready for that PLEASE DONT ABORT IT. there are millions of people who cant have babies for one reason or another and would love to adopt your child. it would be so wonderful to give your baby a chance at life and also give someone the wonderful gift of a child....good luck and please think about what i said

yes, you are too young to PARENT a baby, but since you took part in something only ADULTS should do you should take adult responsibility for your actions and carry the pregnancy to term and give it up for adoption. It's not the baby's fault you had sex and are still a child yourself. Grow up and do the right thing.
