Answer 1

Well it really depends on IF YOU ARE PREGNANT. If you are pregnant it really depends on the parents. Most people would say that you should go through the pregnancy and then consider giving the baby up for adoption. It really all depends on if you feel as though you are ready to be a parent.

Answer 2

Well to begin with...a pregnancy is not a baby. So whatever you're talking about is an impossiblity until after it is born. So do you think your parents would take a newborn baby and kill it? I have no idea what your parents will do. In California there is no parental consent/notification laws. They were defeated so NO your parents can not MAKE you have an abortion if that is what you are trying to say. Obviously you were MUCH too young to have sex to begin with if you can't even express the correct terminology. What you do is up to you....
If you were my daughter you would already know ALL of your options, and I would support you no matter WHAT option you chose. However, if you were my daughter and chose to keep your infant when it was born I would NOT raise the child...that would be YOUR job. I would not be there to baby sit everytime you wanted to go "play" with your friends. You're a parent now, time to grow up and face your responsibilty on your own. You would finish school, get a part time job, pay for child care because as a working mom myself I don't have time to babysit especially if I'm not going to be paid a decent salary for doing so...rent isn't cheap around here and neither are groceries. Life sucks doesn't it?

Answer 3

I have been in your shoes, I was pregnant at 15, turned 16 about 2 1/2 months before I had the baby. My mother,( bless her soul) really didn't have the fit I thought she was going to have. She basically told me if I was big enough to get pregnant with that child, I was big enough to have that child

I was about 5 months pregnant before my mother found out, believe it or not, my mother learned how to drive a semi-truck and trailer, to pay for my doctor bills and hospital.

This child is now 36 years old, and only has one sister, at least I did learn about birth control after getting pregnant so young, and there is almost 5 years between my 2 children

Answer 4

No one is allowed to force you to have an abortion. Not your parents or even a judge. It's going to be scary to tell your parents but you need to be brave. It's never as bad as you think it will be. They obviously aren't going to be thrilled that their 15 year old daughter is having a baby, but they love you, and they will have your best intrest at heart. Adoption is a loving choice. If they suggest abortion tell them no, you would prefer adoption. A lot of really great people have grown up with adoptive families. Good luck!

Answer 5

im not sure what the state of california wil allow your parents to do i know that in arizona when a minor has a child you are considered an adult but if you havent told them yet you can do what i did when i ws pregnant at 15 i put on the madona song papa dont preach untill they got what i was trying to tell them bc i wa to scared to come out and say it i do not have my child i had had a miscariage and my parents shocked me they were very supportive and that isnt them at all

the best of luck sweetie just remember your never alone

Answer 6

They can't force you to lose the baby but depending on the state you live in they may be able to force you to have an abortion. I live in MO and one of my good friends got pregnant when she was 16, her parents made her have an abortion and there was nothing she could do about it because of her age.

Answer 7

It does not matter where you live. NO ONE can make you have an abortion or give up the baby. I am 17 and 28 and 1/2 weeks pregnant, and well my parents werent happy at first either but they are ok with it now just make sure you tell them and dont try and hide it no matter how mad your mom is. she will end up being their biggest help. remember just stay strong and everything will be alright.

Answer 8

It will depend a) on if you ARE pregnant, and b) your parents.
Every parent reacts differently, if it is a negative reaction they may calm down and accept it after the initial shock. Hopefully they will be there for you. I don't think they can "force you to lose the child". If you are not pregnant, don't try to get pregnant it is not what you think it will be. Please in the future use BOTH a condom and get on the pill. Or better yet, try abstinence.

Answer 9

It depends on your parents. No one can force you to have an abortion. Please don't. This is a little life inside of you and there are both health, and emotional risks by choosing abortion. I feel bad for you if you are, because this is cutting your childhood short. Hopefully your parents are supportive. But if they aren't, don't think abortion is the only answer. Consider putting the baby up for adoption.

Answer 10

nobody can force you to do anything...it all depends on what your parents' point of view is...some parents are really supportive some arent...i know that if i got pregnant at your age my parents would`ve probably kicked me out...but that doesnt mean yours will...just think do you REALLY want to be around a baby who needs 100% attention constantly && won`t stop crying until he/she gets the attention...if you said no to that question then you probably aren`t ready for a child && if your already pregnant you should start looking into giving it up for adoption..
