Q: 16 And Pregnant Need Advice

Hi, im 16 and pregnant. I just found out a couple of days ago. Im really worried because I dont know what to tell my parents.... My boyfriend is really supportive. I will only be a junior in high school next year. And he will be a senior and he wants to go to collage and so do i. We both want it so bad. But we are both worried about the future and how we are going to support the child. We have been dating for almost three years and we are so inlove. But we just dont know what to do.

If you have any advice what would be so good!

Do what your heart tells you. If you think, truly, that you can offer this child a good life, then keep him/her and raise it. If you can't, although it might be the hardest thing you ever ddo, give it up for adoption. I'm 18 and had twins 7 weeks ago, nov. 6. My fiance weren't in any real great position to have even one child, however we felt that if nothing else, we could contact government agencies that could elp up raise our children. There are tons of good programs that can help you in your decision making. Try a pregnancy resource center. Or the local health department. Anyone place would be willing to help. Try even churches to give you some the the support you need. Because you are really young to have a child. Do what you think is best. Think about things before you tell your parents. Have a "plan" organized and thought out. And don't souly depend on your boyfriend... Parents can be the best friends ever!!!

Thank You
Thank you so much... The thing is is that im so scared to see what my sister will say. She is like the " perfect child " she is working is politics she wants me to go places in life. I dont know how she will cope with this. I will only here bad things from her. My parents are a different story. Also my boyfriend doesnt want to be a young father and is scared to tell his parents. I mean we could be ok and get threw it I know it.

I think we are going to talk to some councilers to see an adult point of view to show the pro's and con's.

Thank you so much!
