I understand im too young but im not giving up my baby it has nothing to do with the fact that I was being stupid and made a mistake I can take very good care of it I mean yeah it was unexpected but still ill just have to do what I have to do so what im 15 and 2 weeks pregnant giving it up do you really think my baby deserves that there are adults out there hurting abusing and mistreating children and most of the teens parents today are doing a way better job and me I can still make my dreamz of becoming a model happen with my baby I still say I was woman enough to lay down and make it im woman enough to take care of it I know my life my time and my money is not my own any more I'll just have to suck it up and be mature about the situation do you think im wrong?
Fau's comment was a little harsh. However you need to do some major thinking. I too had a child at 15, and I did keep her, and we are just fine. It was very tough! And I am here to tell you, you will be judged harshly for quite a few years to come. And I want people to understand how teenagers get pregnant, boredom and lack of parental guideance plays a large role in this, my mother was wonderful, but a busy woman. Parents need to help their teenagers find constructive ways to entertain them selves, and support them and participate!! Everyone wants to know why teenagers don't use contraceptives, and it very simple, they don't have acess. At 15 I couldn't hop in the car and run to the store and buy a box of condoms, with no car licences, or money. And I sure couldn't make a Dr's apointment with out a parents permission to get birth control. I shouldn't have been having sex, but everyone makes mistakes, mine was just a really big one. By the time a teen gets pregnant, it's too late to say shame on you, or point fingers. The point is it happened, now what! We need to be supportive of our pregnant teeens, and help them over come their huge mistake, and better their lives rather than kicking them while their down!!! I encourage you to do what you feel is right. I wanted to keep my baby and I did. 6 days before my 16th birthday I had a beautiful little girl. I was harshly juged by many people for my decision to keep her, and all of those people can kiss my butt now! At 15 I married (he was 15 as well) and had my baby. At 16 we both got our drivers licences, moved out on our own, enrolled our selves in GED classes, that we both completed with high scores, we also took a WAGE class at the same time, all of this while working different shifts so we could take turns careing for our daughter. And was even mature enough to breastfeed.We supported our selves and our daughter at 16 and we survived. Life wasn't the best, but she's 7 now, makes good grades, and is a very respcetful well mannered child who has everything she needs!!! You will do just fine if you keep a good head on you and work hard!
First of all if you carry the baby past fourteen weeks then you can start to prepare for a child, a lot of teenagers misscarry in the first fourteen weeks so I hope you are being healthy if you plan to bring this child into this world please give your baby the best start possible go see a planned parent hood doc so they can get you started on your vitamams and NO DRUGS please No cigs nicotine is a drug. so is caffiene amd alchohol. And dont be so arrogant event the worst parents stared out with good intentions people dont get pregnant and just "decide' to be abusive. Stress of raising a child on your own can turn a lot of people into a friggin head case. money is not easy to come by Minimum wage leaves you living below the poverty level I hope you have a family to help you you are going to need them. Try and remember MOST abusive parents were abused themselves if you were or are being abused by a parent or a significant other you are at risk for becoming an abuser yourself . I wish your unborn the best.
I work in the school system with kids who have Special Needs, ADD, ADHD, Autism, Down Syndrome, ODD, and severe behaviours...look ALL these up. If you have a child with Special Needs you need to pay out at least 25,000-50,000 a year in order to get your child the help that he/she will need.
Give up your dreams of being a model sweetheart. Kids cost MONEY! Education, food, medical bills, clothing, STUFF, you need to not be ignorant to the "REAL-NESS" of this situation. I have HAD plenty of girlfriend's who got knocked up in there late teens and now they all have 3+ kids, no daddy and are sitting on welfare. These women all had high grades, dreams, and plans...now 3 kids, are overweight, and depressed.
Again, look up all the Special Needs I listed. If you don't have the time, PATIENCE, money and/or support give it up or abort. Remeber if you don't take care of yourself during the pregnancy you are far more likely to have an unhealthy baby and that's not fair.
I am 21 and am about to go into labor with in the next 4 weeks, and I can say that the baby is a lot of stress on you being so young. but I can say that you seem to have a good head on your shoulders. I agree I iwould never give my baby up tp a stranger! and abortion is never a option unless something bad has happened like rape or somethign liek that ... I can tell you this about the situation... yes you should take responsiblity ... if you need help ask people for help and dont hide this!!! if the father is not willing to help... you dont need him ... men are worthless most the time unless its planned... .. can say that you do need to think hard about this and you do need to make sure that you are doing everything in your power to make sure your baby has everything she or he needs... and yes this does mean that you will not get to go out to the prom if they have a fever, or go on your date cause there throwing up .. just remember the baby comes first!!!
I think the people putting you down for you keeping the baby are all wrong... I think that you taking responsability for your actions is great... yes its going to be hard... but you can still be a model or whatever you want to be... but remember that your baby comes first... thats taking responsability for it... and its going to be hard work... but people do that kinda stuff all the time... I admire you for taking responsability and keeping your baby... just make sure the desicions you make reguarding it are what you feel is best for your child... not you... good luck with everything in your future...

Please do not abort this child, but give VERY strong consideration to giving this child for adoption, giving a loving and nurturing adult couple the opportunity to love and provide for your child. You will giving it the best gift ever, and you would be able to make a fresh start in life. It would be the most difficult and selfless thing that you would ever do in your lifetime, but I guarantee that baby will have a much better chance to thrive in this world AND so will you. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
You have to determine what's best for your BABY, not you - either you're doing the right thing and being there for him/her or adpotion to a loving, established family is a great option...you're right, you've got to 'step up' and take responsibility - you can do it, I wish you the best !!
My cousin-in-law(I guess thats what I would call her) had twins when she was 16 and I think she was 15 when she got pregnant. I don't know is this helps at all with your decision but both she and her kids are fine, they ar 15...I think...now and are normal. So yea...hope that helped!!!
you are very young but im glad you dont want to kill your baby . do what ever you think is right ... there are all kinds of places you can go to help. if you are a teen parent
I thinku are doing the right thing and you can still be a modle all you will have to do is lose the baby weight and take the baby to work with u
so go for it
give birth to the child.take care of them and you will see whats good in the long run.
Nope
