Q: Help Me!

Hi
i'm 17 and pregnant. I am excited and so is my boyfriend. We were planning to get married long before we knew we were expecting. The only problem is my parents are crazy! They hate him so much and honestly there is no reason. He treats me very well, he has a good job the only thing that could even be considered bad is that he's 19. Anyway... My mom is so convinced that he is going to "ruin my life" that she put a restraining order on us. Now i'm pregnant and don't know what to do. I won't be 18 until the middle of may and by then it'll be obvious (i'm 6 weeks now). He wants to run away until I turn 18, he has plenty of money for us to go, we would stay with his family. I can't decide what to do. Help me!!!!

Your 17 Almost 18 And Theres Nothing They Can Do About It
Well running away wont make thing easyier on you and your baby at all you are 17 there for old enough to make ur own choices u will be 18 soon and there isnt anything ur parents can do about that I would suggest telling them now and that u will be a legal adult soon so they can hate ur bf all they want u know have a responsibilty and its up to you what your going to do take the hard road and run away or take your chances and get health forum at if you stay

Well in all honesty your bf isn't showing that he can handle this situation maturely. Yes he can provide for you and your child. But taking you "away" from your parents, where they have kept you safe for 17 years is a bit dramatic. You both need to sit down and handle this like grown parents-to-be. Whether you like the outcome or not. Best of luck.

Try talking with him and your parents together maybe that will help then prove to them that you 2 can take care of a baby.

Hhmmm, I have 2 opinions about this. Some parents really really are crazy, and some kids just say they are cause there mad at the moment. If I knew you personally, I could give you better advice. I think its bs that your parents have a ro, but then again, I dont know their beliefs or concerns. Maybe they knew you were sexually active and felt he maybe pressured you into it since hes older. Or maybe they were afraid of their 'little girl' getting pregant and there trying to protect you. I dont think you should hide your pregnancy from them. Maybe once they know the truth they will have more of an acceptance for him. Since he will be fathering your child, and thats not something they can change. Pm me if you need to talk... :)
