Hi. I am 14 years old and I am a writer for a magazine that should be coming out soon. My article is called: The Deal on Teen Pregnancy. If you are willing to let me interview you on aim or msn messenger I would love for you to do so. I need about 4 girls with four different views and if possible boy-friends who are dealing with this also. I will allow you to stay anonymous it is your choice. If you are willing please PM me.

Wink Thanks, Cherisse

You want to hear my story? Here it goes...

I am 19 years old. I was raised in a very good family with a two year old sister and a five year old brother. I met my boyfriend during my senior year of high school. We fell in love and moved in together and got engaged. We were always safe about sex. I got on birth control and took them everyday at the same time. We had no problems or scary signs of pregnancy until two months ago. I didn't get my period in June and then July rolled around and it still hadn't come. Two weeks ago I decided to take a pregnancy test and it came out positive. I was scared out of my mind. We can barely pay rent, we live paycheck to paycheck. I was scared of the thought of having to be connected with the same man for the rest of my life. I didn't tell him I had the results instead I was so scared that I went out with a guy friend (my boyfriend doesn't like him) and I kissed him hoping everything would disappear. My matters just got worse. The next day I told my boyfriend I kissed another guy and he left me. I packed everything and left. I told him three days ago that I was pregnant and knew it before he left and told him why I did what I did. I want him to come back because I love him. This wasn't just a fling or anything we dated for fourteen months and now he is gone. He says he wants to come back but I am afraid he is only saying that because I am pregnant with his child. To top things of I don't know how to face my family especially my parents. They have always been so proud of be and now I have to see the disappointment on their faces. I pray to God that things work out for the best for me, my baby, and my boyfriend. I never thought I would be in the boat I am in but I am here and I am SCARED2DEATH. The only advice I have for other teenage girls is God really does care and will show you the right path. Good luck to all the other girls out there and good luck to all the other guys out there.

Sincerely,
SCARED2DEATH

Re: hey
Taisa, I understand right now you feel like this baby will help ur life alot, but you haven't even began to experience the turns of life. Reality really doesn't hit til 16 or 17. Think about when you get older and wanna go with friends, you have to worry about a babysitter, and leaving your child with a complete stranger. If you are leaving your family then who are you gonna go to when you need help, not your boyfriend. Although abortion burns in your mouth, I hate that word too,but you have to think when your baby ask you why you got pregnant so young you have to say it was a mistake, or was it? You aren't even old enough to work, how are you gonna support it? Don't depend on the government b/c they don't give you much. Think about when you hit 21 and you wanna go have a ball at the nearest bar, maybe even have a fling- you can't do it b/c u have your child living with you...maybe not even that. If the state,b/c of your age, thinks you can't handle a child, they can legally take it away. If that happens they would give it to next to kin. Meaning no matter how much you hate it, you will have to go to your mom in order to see your child...Email Me for advice!!

Re: Please come here if you are a Pregnant Teen
Hi, my name is Patricia. I'm 17 years old and almost 7 months pregnant. I'm no longer with the father of my baby because I made the decision when I found out I was pregnant (at 2 months) that he's not mature enough and is not willing to take full responsibility for his actions- even though he's a 20 year old man. There's no doubt in any of our minds that its his child, so its not like he's denying it or anything, he just doesn't realize how much work a child really is. It's been 5 months since we've known about the baby and he's still without a job, living off of other people, drinking, smoking weed, and partying every night. And since I left him he's been sleeping around with many other girls. I have to do this on my own because I have no support from anyone- except for the couple a close friends I have, but they can't do much for me- they're still young too. My mother and the rest of my family want nothing to do with this child. They don't believe in inter-racial relationships, and I do. My baby will be bi-racial (black and white). I'm not sure whats going through my baby's dad's families minds, I havent talked to any of them much since I broke up with him. But I really doubt there going to be of any help. My baby is due not even 3 weeks before my 18th birthday- and I have to be out of my mothers house when I turn 18. I don't have a job (but not because I havent tried to get one- I have- no one wants to hire a pregnant teen though so Ive been outta luck) I'm still in school, but I'm now taking special classes that will hopefully help me to graduate sooner. I havent talked to my baby's dad in over a month, because he's changed residences and I dont know his new number, and hes not allowed to call or come over here because my mother wont allow it, so i have no way to get ahold of him. Not even his parents no where he is. Question

Jill I was beginning to think that I was crazy. 1st of all how could a 14 yr.

But it is really annoying cause I always take time to read the post and then I start wondering who the people are that are replying cause I dont recognize their names and finally I figure out the post is 6 months old and it was a waste of time and really annoying!
