tell your parents asap cuz if not they will be more mad!!! i waited a few months b4 my mom found out on her own and she was way more mad and it isnt healthy for the baby if u r not getting prenatal care!!! but i think u should keep ur child or give it up for adoption because i dont think abortions are right..... but its up to you... im having my son and i just turned 17 in december but my mom is going to help me out..... and you should definantly stay in skool if u can even once your child is born!! there are places that help teen moms get whatever they need u will just have to look them up on the internet... i know one over here in dallas tx but idk where u live..... GOOD LUCK!! and if u need sum to talk to u can email me candygurl_214@yahoo.com

Well u will have to talk to ur parents and ur bf or the guy who got u pregnant will have to know and will have to talk to his parents and than both think about where to get a job if u dont already have one while still trying to go to school... thats the best way to go
but whatever u do dont have an abortion dont kill ur baby over something u did ur baby didnt ask to be here and now that they are do what u have to do to make this work u will be okay there are lots of women who are yougn who have babies its just harder thats all
keep strong
and good luck

I am 18 and I had my daughter when I was 16 I know just how you feel. First let it sink in and figure out what YOU want. (Do you want to get an abortion? Keep the baby? Adoption?) Then most definitely talk to someone you trust. (A friend or your baby's daddy) figure out what he wants or what they think . (if you don't agree, talk about it any the reasons why...) Then tell your parents but don't wait to long because you may change you mind after talking to your parents and want something different and it could be to late.
Good Luck & be strong & you can do it!

tell your parents and your boyfriend, you are going to need all the support you can get, do you have a job? you might want to think about getting a part time job after school and maybe your boyfriend should too, start saving now, babies are expensive, but i'm sure you will get the support you need, dont worry everything will work out the way it is suppose to. i wish you well and congrats even at 16 a baby is still a blessing.
good luck hun.

Well, first tell your parents. They will yell, and be mad, but when they clam down, they will help you. Please remember that they love you. Know you have 3 options
1. Abortion. I can not do this myself. I believe live begins at conception. You need to know how you feel. If you feel this way, and have an abortion, you may never forgive yourself
2. Adoption. I see adoption as an act of love. A loving mother giving her child to a couple who will love the child as their own. Even if you look into it, you do not have to go though it. I would look into adoption where you can meet the parents. You have a say in who gets your child
3. Keeping the child. This will not be easy, but it is can be done. If you have family help it will be easier. Please stay in school.
Good luck

wow you're stupid. sorry to say so. do you've any idea the thanks to look after somewhat one. You not frequently get any sleep. the infant cries lots, and youths are at a large threat of having preclampsia which may reason your infant to be handicapped. my sister had preclampsia and he or she isn't a youngster she is merely small. im pregnant and im 20. i dont even imagine im previous adequate, and that i helped look after babys lots. you larger provide this infant to an outstanding kinfolk because you're to dumb to look after somewhat one.

Call an adoption agency. Give your child a chance. Learn the meaning of contraception.

start weighing your options.. which one would benefit you and the babys father more - having the baby? or not? after you've made up your mind, tell your parents

Talk to your parents right away so you can make a decision on what to do.
