i`m 17, i turn 18 in January next
year....i honestly dont know how far down
i am, but i doubt im more than a month.
i`m sooo scared ryt now because i dont
even know what to do at this point...i
feel so lost right now...apart of me wants
to keep it, but the other part doesnt. my
boyfriend has been nothing but supportive
of me & i love him sooo much for
that....he doesnt want to abort this baby
& i understand his part on that...he's
willing to work two jobs & do
everything that he can jus to raise this
baby. i guess what`s really holding me
back ryt now is the fact that i dont know
how my parents are going to react, most
especially my mom & my older sister. i
had soo much going for me, i had so many
plans & i dont want to throw it all
away just lyk that, but then again i made
that decision to do what i did, and now
this is the consequences i get for it. i
don't want to abort this baby, but i just
dont know what to do. i dont have anyone
to talk to, anyone to help me get thru
this, so if anyone could jus please give
me some advice on what to do, then i would
greatly appreciate that. thank you

If your worried about your parents....they
will yell scream and prolly call you ever
name in that book...but if you can get
through that then eventually they will get
over it. It's going to be hard work, but
like you said thats the consequence of
sleeping together.
Have you already missed your preiod..??
Did you take a home pregnancy test..??

Just to let you know you do not have to
throw out all of your plans, you just have
to figure out a different way to get
achieve them. If you are pregnant your
baby will now come first in your life but
I know too many people that have had
children young and still completed college
and can afford a good size house. and this
was a single parent. You can do but it's
going to take a lil bit more work. No i'm
not a parent but my mother and my aunties
are the people that i am talking about

I was in your situation. I didn't think
twice. I had an abortion, finished
college, got a fun career, met my husband,
got married, and now we have a little
girl.
I wouldn't change a thing.
But that's me.

getting an abortion would be killing your
own flesh and blood. If you dont want to
have kids dont have unprotected sex. and
if you made a mistake then find away to
still have a good life with you and your
child

An early abortion involves an embryo which
has no flesh and blood yet.

People do not have sex just to get
pregnant. In fact, the vast majority of
times people have sex, there is no
pregnancy. Now, if you were to say, if
you don't want a baby you should use birth
control, then I agree with you.
61% of women having an abortion already
have a child or children.
Married women also have abortions.

this is a teen pregnancy support forum. if
you'd like to discuss abortion, there are
separate forums for that.

Zaaaraahh, have you been under a lot of
stress with school and stuff? A lot of
things can affect ovulation (likes stress,
illness, lack of sleep, change in diet,
whatever) and that can really throw off
your period.
If you've got a negative test, try taking
another one and popping into the doctor
for a blood test. If all of that is
negative, stop worrying and be more
careful next time.
While you're at the doctor please discuss
more reliable forms of birth control,
there's a lot out there!
Good luck!

That's not helpful, if you wish to share
your opinions then go to the abortion
debate forum. 
To the OP I appreciate you're scared but
you do not need to rush to make any
decision, you do have time. firstly you
need to know if you are actually pregnant
so have the test done and look at your
options from there

Yes youre parents most likely will be
pissssseddd and deman to know what you
plan of action is. They may not even be
supportive. However it will ultimately be
your decision whether you deal with
pressure from them or not..
You will NOT have to throw your "plans"
away. You will just have to work harder.

It's one thing to have gotten into this
predicament by mistake, but another one
entirely to do it on purpose.

She didn't say anything about it being on
purpose though.

Which she do you mean? I was answering
and referring to mzLiLi. Next time I'll
be more specific.
As far as telling your parents, telling
them that you made a mistake and got
pregnant is a lot different than telling
them you got pregnant on purpose.
