...To answer your question no, its not too late

but seriously, if the only reason you are going to have an abortion is because people are talking about you, rumours etc...Step back and seriously think about what you are doing. In the long run it doesn't matter what others think, its what you want and believe in. If you only get an abortion because you don't want people to talk about you I garuntee you will regret it big tim...And also, think about it---if these people talk about you being pregnant, what makes you think they won't talk about you having an abortion? I see it as they are just looking for something to talk caca about....Whether it be u being pregnant or you having an abortion. Having an abortion won't suddenly make them stop think about how you were pregnant...You just really need to do whats best for you...Not for them. You have nothing to prove and no one to please but yourself..

Take care and best of luck

Ya its still possible but it is really expensive. Plus if you think about it that is a real baby by now if they did an ultrasound (which they will before an abortion if you are past 13 weeks) you will be able to see the body parts you might even be able to see if its a gir lor boy depending on if your baby cooperates. I think it would be so wrong to have an abortion this late in 9 weeks that will be a viable baby (if you were to go into preterm labor) dont do it! Especially if its just cuz ppl are talking big doing it deal n a few years u wont even see those ppl ever again so dont let them decide for you something that will affect u the rest of your life

Who cares what people say tell them to go f*ck themselves people will always talk caca even when u go to work there are 40 yrs old starting/talking caca 24/7 it life and these are just morons. Everything is based on choice so if you want it done go ahead but getting it done because of some morons makes you a bigger medical answer person.

I dealt with ppl like that in highschool and they talked sh*t about me everyday I was preggo when I was 17 but I couldnt care and yeah I got bullied as well but I decked the chick who was being a health forum I have two kids now im married and ppl shut their mouthes cause I stand up for myself!! Get used to it!

I am 16 and I found out late I was pregnant - no-one had the chance to talk about me and I didnt show so I was in a very different situ from you... However I will share something with you, my son dil was born almost a week ago at 28 weeks - he is tiny and such a wanted baby - but things are not going the way we would like them to. He may be severely disabled now due to a brain bleed.

You should keep your baby if the only thing you are worried about is people talking, the smallest baby in the nicu where dil is was born at 23 weeks (a week under official viability) and is now doing better than my boy. That's 8 weeks away for you. Two months... It is your baby and sure people will talk and sure it will stress you out but you should not let them win. Ask to see an ultrasound of your baby and see if it changes your mind. This baby is growing inside you - it is totally dependant on you for life, dont chose an abortion for tiny reasons. Also if you are against abortion then you should be whatever happens, not just when it suits.

Hi kim
honestly I dont recomend that especially because u want to do it just because of rumors. I was 16 when I became pregnant also. I went through with it. I know your young and you think its hard but everything is going to be fine. I too didnt want anyone to see me pregnant I mean all my friends and everyone knew I had been with this guy for about 2yrs but I still felt ashamed. I moved in with my bf and dropped out of school, I thought that was the best thing to do. I lived hell with my bf and his family. But thank god I had a supporting family that took me back home and helped me out. I realiazed that I made a huge mistake....Dropping out of school, not the fact that I had a baby. I was thinking for her I said if I dont finish school I wont have a good job to care for my baby. So I went back with her it was the best. I went to a diff school where they had a better daycare and actually cared for teen moms. I graduated along with my daughter. And trust me I love her to death I would do anything for her now. And I know I might not had the teenagehood many others had but I would not change anything at all.

I have nothing against abortions...But I think if you had one for the reason that you are being "bullied" then you will regret it forever. If you think people are looking down and things are unbareable right now, and you have an abortion, I promise they'll only get worse, you'll be very upset about what you did (because you don't even believe in abortions) and then all those kids will suddenly turn what they are saying around, but then they'll start bothering you about being a baby killer or something. Kids are awful, and I am very sorry. I am 18 and am finishing school in a school for pregnant and parenting teens. Maybe you could find something like that in your area, or go for doing homeschooling or online school, if it would make things easier on you. I know things seem like crap now, but they can only get better. You have a little piece of you growing and becoming a whole real person inside you! Nothing in life is more amazing then that!


Just watch, I bet after you have your baby and they all see you working so hard for something, a lot of them (if they already don't) will respect you. None of them have a purpose other then themselves to live for, and one day they will realise this, some sooner then others. It's a maturity thing.


I personally would never have an abortion unless I knew I was 100% okay with it mentally and emotionally myself, and never for anyone else, or as an easy solution to a problem that will eventually go away (because if you let them see how much it does not bother you, then they're going to stop and find someone that it does bother).


If you need someone to talk to my name is kim, and my msn and email account is kimzstar@hotmail.Com.

Good luck to you and I hope you make a decision that you wont regret. Your doing something amazing, and yes eventually they all will mostly have children...But they wont have had to grow and bond with their child as much as you.

Hey i'm sorry to hear how rude people are being to you..As far as them pushing you I know you might not want to be a snich but you really need to tell a teacher or somebody anything like that could hurt you or your baby...And for the abortion thing if thats what you really want then thats what you do now if it's because of people making fun of you and doing things to you then I don't think you should do it think about it thats a real baby in there your baby at that all your doing is killing it..Also if they are doing the things they are now what do you think they are going to say when you get a abortion..And if you get a abortion your the one that has to live with that not the kids you go to school with it won't even hurt them a little bit..I hope that this helps you and if you ever need anybody to talk to i'm here my name is casey..

Good luck :wink: keep us posted

If I lived close to you i'd stomp the b*tches for you, I hate stupid people like that...It's ridiculous.

Don't get an abortion...You'll regret it for the rest of you're life.

You know what gets me the most, guys? Women get pregnant and want to have an abortion when there are thousands of women out there who can't even have a child & would die for one...It's sad people take pregnancy for granted...

Doesnt matter what type of bullying it is you need to stand up for yourself here reality either you rat them out, you knock the head girl or you inform them that if the baby dies they will be held for charges of homicide which you can link back to them.

You have other choice here but dont come crying cause you made the wrong choice as for the bullying even if you dont have a kid its still going to happen so you need to deal with it now oh and before you say but you dont understand I do I put up with from 9 yrs of age till I was 16 and kicked the crap out of 5 ppl im trying to be imitidating but you have to be hard on urself and now is the time to start!

You dont sound like the type of person who can stand up for themselves very well yet. You will more once you're older. Besides you dont have to become a bully yourself to deal with it like diamondsz was on about! You could tell a teacher, they should be able to help, or avoid those people, or like macysmama said try to find a school in your area for pregnant girls/teen mothers -thats probably your best option. See what your family think ok, dont keep it to yourself.

I am annoyed by the fact that you want to have an abortion just because people are making fun of you. Like dalicia said, there are so many people out there who want children so badly and can't get pregnant. And you don't want to get made fun of? You should have thought about that before you had unprotected sex. As for the people being rude, I do feel bad for you, but that is no reason to have an abortion. It's ridiculous.

Please Don't Get An Abortion!
Those people don't matter. No baby is a mistake, they are just the result of choices, whether good or bad. My best friend became pregnant at age 17 and she did it all the way through. She is now 19 and has two wonderful girls. Despite all the rumors about her, she wouldn't trade her girls for anything. I on the other hand would give my left arm to have my own child. Believe me when I say there are many options other than abortion, and many who would give anything to have a baby! Please consider all your options.

I, too, am receiving a lot of .B.S from some people at school, but I just keep telling myself that it'll all be worth it in the end when I get to hold my daughter. The only people who truly matter are you, your baby, your friends, and your family. Just tell the others to f*ck off and mind their own business. Just for you to have considered keeping your baby at all, even if it was only for a second, shows that you are a strong person and you can totally handle this.

Look I maty of let out the wrong type of message, im not concidering having an abortion because of the bullying, I just don tthink im ready for a baby at this point in my life. And some of you may of had people behind you to support u in ur choices but I have no one, no1 here atall and I cant do it on my own. All my life I have had this thing against ppl having abortions I dunno y but I just have. But now im in that situation im scared and hav nothing else to do. Im trapped.

And yes I should of thought about using contraception but u all no wat its like when theres that 1 time u just dont even think of it, and it all happens so fast and quick. Thats not an excuse but a mistake.

I no I can put up with the bullys but can I deal with a baby?

Love kim xxxx

Surely you have someone there to support you, one person at least. Who do you live with? And yes you can do it, if you really want to. Or theres adoption.
