im 16 and im real confused

Answer 1

OMG! I got pregnant when I was 16 also. I did not tell my mother because I was forbidden to be with my boyfriend (looking back, he was a real loser)! Anyway, I found out I was pregnant when I took a test after school one day. I went to his house to tell him only to find out that he had been taken to jail earlier in the day. I didn't tell my mom. A few months later, she found a letter he had sent me from jail referring to the baby. My mom flipped her lid. I was every name in the book. I felt truly worthless the first couple of days. Once the initial shock was over, we were shopping for baby stuff. Do Not Runaway! It will be hard for her to take at first, but she will accept it. If you are worried about her hitting you, have someone there as a mediator. Good luck and make sure you get the prenatal care you and the baby deserve.

Answer 2

A mother does not run away. If you are pregnant, then you are a mother. You need to find that out right away and you need to get all the information you can to decide what you are going to do. There are options from abortion to adoption if you do not want to raise a child at the age of 16. I would strongly advise you to contact Planned Parenthood who will give you information on all your options and help you find an adoptive agency if you want to put the baby up for adoption, or an abortion provider if that if what you choose.

Someone who is still a child and afraid of her mother, has no business trying to raise a child. You made a mistake but its not the end of the world. Woman have been doing the same thing since time eternal. You are not a bad girl because you let some guy talk you into unprotected sex, just a stupid one. Oh and btw, you very much need to be tested for STD's especially HIV. You may be in for more problems than just a pregnancy. Tell your mom, you need her help.

Answer 3

No, do not runaway, I dont know how old you are or where you live, but you can always go to planned parenthood and talk to someone there. They will help you , they also dont call your parents. I dont know how your mom would react but this just happened to my daughter a few months ago, she started to have alot of health problems(pneumonia and a cracked rib) for starters and she decided not to keep it. She was afraid at first to tell me but she did, and she wanted to keep it, but then got real sick and I wanted her to take care of herself first, she was my main concern before the pregnancy(my mom died from pneumonia) So dont runaway, there are people you can talk too, if you cant talk to anyone in your family try planned parenthood

Answer 4

Not a good idea at that age and they would leave themselves wide open for trouble. If this family situation is so bad then surely there are better ways of dealing with it. Can't she try to communicate with family members what is happening? Could she talk to someone in her church if she goes to church? Or maybe ring up the Child Protection Agency to see how she can be helped. Running away might sound very daring to her but she is too young to be doing this. If she herself has done something wrong then she needs to own up and discuss it with her family or respected elder - even involving the police with her problems is better than running away. Could you invite her to stay at your place for a while as she would be so vulnerable to predators etc. out on the streets. If this bad situation has to do with a "relationship" with a family friend then that person should be brought to the attention of the Police as that is a crime even if your friend was a willing participant.

Answer 5

dont runaway, that will be the biggest mistake of your life. it may be scary as all hell but you should tell her, or at least a adualt, a mother your can trust. mother do over react because thats their way of trying to protect you, ask her did something happen to her that she deosnt want you to know? is that why she is how she is, if/when you tell her, hug her and refuse to let go, tell her right now you need her more than ever

Answer 6

Okay hunnie, how old are you? I understand you please dont runaway... it will only make matters worse. Go to a friend or parent u trust and take a pregnancy test. Make sure you are. If you are just comfront your mom and tell her about it, im sure that if you tell her that it was a mistake she will understand!

DONT runaway!

Answer 7

trust me.... do NOT runaway.

if it turns out that you are pregnant. guys arent always the best at dealing with stuff like that and he might not handle it all that well.

your mom might be upset that you are at first and she might even yell (alot), but the thing is.... shes your MOM!!!!

she is going to be your number one support and back in this whole situation no matter what. no matter how crazy and evil, and we all know our moms are sometimes, she will definatley help you... thats why women always have their mom right next to them when they give birth.

you need her, trust me

Answer 8

find another adult that you trust....school official, teacher. Have a mediator in the room when you tell her. The most important thing is that you should get tested for pregancy and then get prenatal care for the baby....which means going to the doc and having them do an ultrasound to make sure its ok.

Answer 9

why were you having sex at 16. i mean what do you really think your moms gonna do . hug you. but she doesn't need to hit you. so don't runaway cause you will be livin on the street and beggin for money. so just stay at home

Answer 10

Tell her and soon. Running away will not help things. She may be upset, but she needs to know, so she can help you. get a friend to come over with you when you tell her. Good luck.
