Prgenant and losing my family :s ..

Your body, your baby, your life= your decision. Don’t feel bad about making a decision that you will have to live with, not them. It may seem impossible now but things will most probably work out with time. Your parents are in shock, they are reacting with fear and anger. Let them vent and scream and whatever…after they will calm down and it will be easier to talk to them. You need to tell them that this is an important decision and that you didn’t make it happen to hurt them but this is your choice and you need them support. Let them think that over and let them calm down, most parents come around after a while. There are special organizations that help young mothers and teens. Ask the doctor about it or a school counsellor they should be able to help. meanwhile you can check out these websites: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/I’ve-ppteenparent http://www.baby-place.com/teen_parents.php http://www.teenwire.com/infocus/2004/if-20040518p290-mom.php

Tell them you will NOT get an abortion, but rather give it up for adoption. Tell them abortion is killing a child that didnt even get a chance to live, and it is wrong. Look into adoption, print out as much information on it as you can, and present it to your parents. They obviously don’t want you to keep it, so this is the most humaine way to give it up.

Agree compeltely with ‘zorbot’ - much as your family may think they want the best for you, in the end it’s going to be your life and yout decision.

Of course they’re shocked. They probably had all sorts of visions abot how your future would be… and now everything seems to have changed.

Time, time… don’t rush it. For one thing, YOU haven’t changed, although maybe it’s about time they updated their views on their ‘little girl’. You’re still the same person, and can reassure them that yes, you do love them. /(After all, they’ve probably done a lot for you over these past 16 years, haven’t they?)

And do get in touch with the organizations that zorbot mentions.

You can make this work out!

my first son was an uh oh and I was 18. my family wanted me to abort but I didnt. they didnt talk to me for a year. I was all alone but they came around and now are great grandparents to my 5 year old son. you are young and under their roof. try to talk to them again. you are too young to be kicked out of your home. goodluck and I hope things work out for you.

listen to zorbot or susila..

It’s YOUR body and YOUR choices. And regardless of what you choose it won’t be easy. Give your parents some time to calm down and then speak to them. They love you…if they didn’t they wouldn’t have been so upset.

They just need time to accept everything.

Please DONT abort your baby! Its YOUR baby! Your decision to keep it! Dont allow anyone to make you do what you dont want to…you will regret it!
