I am scared, what should I do?

Question

I am a 16 year old, and I'm not sure if I am pregnant.I have not yet got my period and i am starting to get worried. My boyfriend says it'll be okay and he wants to have the baby, but if so, I have no clue how to tell my parents or go about having the baby, or getting rid of it.

Answer 2

I say, get a pg test first. If it's possitive then you have some reall thinking to do. YOU have thinking to do, getting the opinion of your boyfriend is great but think about what you want to do. Your bf might not be there in the future as much as you probably wish he would be. Next, you need to tell your parents, or just one calmer parent if you feel better doing it that way. You should however, have your bf by your side when you announce the news to your parents to see if he is a cop-out or not, a reall man will not run from this but help you face it. Then you need to make that ultimate dicision. Keep the baby? Abortion? Give the baby to a couple who is ready, able and more than happy to adopt yours. Any decision you make will impact your life forever. But make sure it's you who makes the decision, not your parents or your bf, you. Advise is good, but it's all in your hands. It's your body, and your life. GL

P.S. .........protection is a good thing if you are not ready to have a baby.

Answer 3

First off take a home pregnancy test, you can buy them anywhere like Walmart, CVS, Walgreens....If your not pregnant I suggest you go to the local Planned Parenthood/Family Planning clinic and get on birthcontrol. You will not need your parents to get birthcontrol. I would also suggest you use condoms. If you are pregnat, you should really tell your parents. Abortions cost a few hundred dollars, and in some states you have to be 18 and if your younger then that you have to have a parent with you. And I know most 16 year olds dont have $300+ laying around their rooms.

Answer 4

Wow!!! I feel u...I was 16 when I was pregnant the first time. Well dont worry about being pregnant unless u missed ur period already. Before u make any life decisions remember u have the ultimate say so...remember that what u decide now will affect u and him tomorrow. Make sure u guys are ready!!!! As far as ur parents make sure to have his support have him with u and tell them might as well face the facts(u might be surprised at their reaction). My husband and I have 4 kids now(We are 26 and 25 now) it has been hard but worth it. So atleast now u know of one case that has made it and it is possible to make it but it is a long harsh rough road to take. Good luck...if ur not be more carefull

Answer 5

Before you go any farther, find out if you are pregnant. Go to the drug store and buy a pregnancy test. If you are pregnant, you need to talk to your parents. If you want your boyfriend there, then ask him to be there. As soon as you sit them down to "talk" they will pretty much know whats going on. There is no easy way to tell them that you are pregnant. I have been there, but you need to do it as soon as possible. Don't beat around the bush, come straight out and say it. The faster you say it, the faster the conversation is over with and you can start making decisions about what you are going to do. Just make sure you do what YOU want to do and not something your PARENTS want you to do.

Answer 6

You should definitly get a pregnancy test. You can buy one at any drug store. You should do what you think is right and not what your boyfriend wants. You can go to a plan parenthood and they will schedule an abortion for you if that's what you want. You can also get a pregnancy test there. You should just tell your parents you think you may be pregnant, but remember to stay calm. Good luck and best wishes!

Answer 7

Talk to your mom. Talk to your mom. Talk to your mom.
Since you didn't find having sex scary, the rest will be a piece of cake! If you find you are, just tell your parents straight out, and they will help and support you. You already did the scariest part - getting naked and doin' it! If you are mature enough for that, you are mature enough for anything. Don't kill your baby, however, go through the pregnancy and give the child up for adoption.

Answer 8

The best thing you can do is go to a pregnancy clinic where you can see a counsellor to talk to or just get all the information that has you so worried. You can also get a test there to see if you are pregnant.

Answer 9

go to ur parents...or if u wanna make sure first got to a clinic or buy a test...then research about all ur deicisons(abortion/keep it/ adption) there are open adoptions were u can pick out the family and still be apart of the babies life! u need to get checked out and everything...i would buy a test first just to make sure adn then i would tell my parents!!

Answer 10

they always tell you they want the baby but later you are the one stick with a child,having all the responsibilities,loosing your teenager years,without saying about high school.what I am trying to explain is that you have to decide what to do for your self and not listening to what your boyfriend say.Don't you see this happens everyday?I don't what kind the relationship you have with your parents,but is always better to tell them.
