First of all, I feel for you. I am so sorry about your mom n stepdad. My grandmother said some horrible things about me when I got pregnant to and although it hurt, I don't believe a word she said. You shouldn't either. Just because you had sex duznt make you a promiscuous person or a tramp or otherwise. And yes, you have every say in whether you keep the baby. So you can tell your parents to f*** off if you like. Although they may kick you out of your house, this is illegal. You can get them in trouble. Hope this helps. Pm me if you need to talk.

Oh my word!! I cannot believe that your mother called you that!! Sweetheart, she cannot make you give up your child! That is the loveliness of america, its your child and legally her and your stepdad's hands are tied! They legally can't kick you out until you are 18. Second of all, I would go as soon as possible and apply for things like medicade(to help with doctors and prenatals) and wic(to provide food like milk, bread, fruit, veggies, etc along with baby stuff, diapers, formula). Finally you should check out the law book and see if you can be emacipated(or become a legal adult before 18.) and then move in with raven. I think for now that would be your best bet, since there is so much stress at home. Until then, try talking with her and see if you can try to mend fences. But don't apologize for anything!!! You did nothing wrong jeni!!



Much love

Wow jordan, take a deep breath hun. Jeni you can get emancipated at 17 and move out on your own. That way you legally become an adult at 17.

Much love

Thats just it jeni! They don't have to, you go to court and a judge decides if you are mature enough to do it on your own and then he will make the decision, your parents don't sign anything!

Much love

Jeni, just move out. You should be fine. You can go to a group home for now. My cousin wasa runaway and shes in a group home with her baby. You shouldnt be forced to have an adoption.

I can exppress empathy for you, I know what you are going through because I have been there to. When my mother found out that I was pregnant she was like freaking out and was rea upset, and now she loves my son. Good luck in whatever you do, and I hope that it all works out for you. Remember we are all here for you if you need us and that is what friends are for....Friends that dont know each other!! She can't make you do what you dont want to...Trust us!! Don't let her take you down!! P.S. Get the shania twain "up" cd and listen to number 16!!
