i pregnant my self and I really under
stand how you feel. I think that you
should decided if you are going to keep
the baby or if your going to give it up.
You need to tell your parents. If the guy
you got pregnant with is an ahl like you
said, if you want the kid who cares about
him.

Hi meadow,
raising a child at 14 will be incredibly
difficult. I had my first child at 16 and
it was hard. But it is not impossible,
it's being done all over the world
everyday by teenagers just like yourself
and they are actually beautiful loving
parents who love their children beyond
words. So, it just depends on you. One
thing that is going to be most important
during your pregnancy and raising your
bubby, is you are going to need the full
support of friends and parents. You said
the guy you were with was a jerk, but you
had an intimate moment with him, so their
must have been something nice about him
that you really liked. Just because you
don't feel the same way about him now,
doesn't mean he would be a bad father.
Maybe you need to give him a chance. A
baby can really benefit from having
contact with both it's parents, even if
they don't live together. He will also be
responsible for paying child mantainence
once he is working, so that is another
thing to consider. He is just as
responsible for the care of this child as
you are. You are going to raising this
child everyday for the next 16 - 18 years,
it is only fair he provide some kind of
contribution to the situation. He made
the child, now he must support it's
upbringing. There are numerous support
centres for pregnant teenagers, so you
would never be alone or lost, there is
help available everywhere.
Good luck,
suzy

You need to tell someone. Is there an
adult that you trust enough to tell? If
there is you should tell them and they can
help you tell your parents. You also need
to find a Dr. If you don't already have
one and make an appointment. You also
need to tell the guy that you slept with
b/c he has the right to know and he might
surprise you and be more supportive than
you think. Good luck! Keep us posted!
