Yea u should keep tha baby. It seems like ur boyfriend plans on staying around, so u won't be alone. Far as parents go they'll be mad no matter what. If their good parents they'll be there for you, no matter what. I know my cuzin didn't tell his mom that his girlfriend was pregnant until she was atleast 7 or more months and he was 20. So you have to know your parents and how their going to take it.

Hun, no one can tell you to keep this baby but you. If you feel that you can accomplish school and u want to be with your boyfriend and have this baby.. Then do what u think is best. As for telling your mom, every family is different. Some mothers will take it better than expected. The best thing for you to do is to tell her as soon as possible. Then u two can work on it from there!

There's no easy way to break the news, but the sooner the better. If you tell her early in your pregnancy, she'll have more time to accept the situation and she may take it better than you expect.
But you nor your baby need to be under much stress, so just try to relax and think about the little person who is planning on meeting you in a few months!

i agree, the sooner the better!!! She is soo right.
Sooo do you live with your mom? I believe if your parents cant be supportive of u....Screw them! I guess its not a very positive way to think, but hey...They had you didnt they??? If they disown their daughter for having a kid so be it... But alot of the time its not like that. I find that eventually after the shock wears off... If they love you, your parents kinda have to exccept it....My mom and I both were shocked...She was there with me when I found out at the doc's (i was actually there for a bladder infection) my period was late and I had a feeling...So I said why not take the test and get it over with?? Well, the first thing my mom did was rub my back while in awe...And I was dam near in tears... For the next month or so me, bby ddy, and my mom still talked about what I should do. Then I made my decision and my mom is more excited than I am.
Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have a mom like that.
And it doesnt happen very often.
I think it was more of the fact that she found out as soon as I did.
You might be wondering how my dad took it? Well lets just say I dont have one anymore lol (good thing they havnt been together since I was like a week old) lol
anywayz......Im 17 too and I wont be 18 till my babyboy is 6 mts old already. If you need to talk mama, holla at me. :)

:lol: lol ur an fool. I'm not hating...I'm just telling her to look out for that because I had to look out for the same thing with my girlfriend. There's no way i'm hating, more like helping. Bc anybody who know's their ages could tell on them and they could get in trouble. I'm 19 and my gf is 17 so I was worried about the same thing. Maybe u shouldn't talk if you don't know what ur talking about. I was giving advice...Just stfu :!:

Since im a woman I can admit im wrong, but I aint no medical answer fool. Ok? I didnt know what I was talkin bout.... My bad for calling u a hater. Choose your words better cuz obviously somebody going to take offence to sh*t u say if it sounds medical answer up.
I thought you were trying to be a smarta*s and tell us not to get preg so young and caca like that. My b
soooo thanx for your advice....And I can reply to that:
im 17 and my mans bout to be 20 the day after my due date.... If I looked 12 I would be more worried about it or if it was really uncommon for a dude to be a couple years older than their girl....Plus ppl are really suprized when I tell them im only 17. So as for me....I aint really too worried about it and he never has been either....But that is good advice.

hey, i'm in the same situation. I am 17 and my boyfriend is 24. There is a possible chance of me being pregnant but I won't know for sure until I miss my period. If I were to find out I was pregnant, my boyfriend and I would be so happy and I know that we can handle bringing a baby into the worl. However, my parents don't know that I am seeing this guy and I am very unsure if I shoul tell them or not because of his age. I'm not sure how they will react.

I was 17 when I had my first baby and my man then (now my husband) was 23 at the time. I was kinda scared at the time and everying but i'm so glad I decided to have the baby, I even went and had another lol. I'm just so greatful that I didn't have an abortion. (my first baby is now almost 4 and my second is 3) I know I would have hated myself everyday for the rest of my life if I did it, always wondering what would he had been like, what would he have looked like ect... My mom had 2 abortions when she was you and 30 years later still hates herself for it.

no matter what u choose it will be life changing. Its not as easy as jsut getting rid of it. Im not trying to say anything about ppl who choose that route but my mom told me the same thing as your mom and she took me the the clinic. (i was 16 when I got pregnant but turned 17 b4 I gave birth am now 18) it was horrible there were like 30 other girls/women there in a big room that was cold and silent I started thinking about all the potential babies in the room and when they took me back for the procedure I walked by the recovery room and the three girls in there looked so sad I couldnt do it so I left and I have a beautiful bright 10 month old girl. My family was really supportive and when I told my mom my decision she came around. I live with my husband(bby ddy) in va now and we are getting along great we are super happy and expecting our second a lil boy in march. No one can tell u what to choose but either way your life will change.
Also there are small risks with abortion like infertility infection and death (same as pregnancy maybe not as high but in my opinion dont let the risks of prgnancy scare u into abortion cuz they are there 2)

hope ive help in some way and im here if ne one else needs to talk
also since im having a boy if ne one out there is having girl I have a whole bunch of barely used (some not used) girl stuff would b happy to help ne one who needs it! :d
