I think if you want to keep the baby then do it. A baby is big job. My opinion is the best way to prevent getting pregnant is not having sex. I think your not ready for sex if you can't take care of that child financially then your not ready because its a big responsibility. Im 14 and don't have a child but my mom had her first child at 16 then had me later from watching her and the struggle and it geting harder as you get older i made up my mind to not have sex. So to all the other teen girls dont get pregnant its harder than what you think.

you know what i want you to go back to school you can do it. i want you to do and be what ever you want to be, make sure that you are a great role model for your child, you know what when the time came for me i was so scard, and i cryed everyday. all you have to do is pick your head up your a beatiful girl, that is very capible of being what and who ever you want, and be a great mother, i went back to school and know im on the honor role, i work i still go out with my friends and you know what im a damb good mother, be proud you can do it these this one place i went to for motivation, and any help that i needed it's called links, it's a place with young mothers that helps them out in anyway posible, il pray for you and YOU CAN DO THIS, YOU HAVE TO TELL YOURSELF THAT every day

Having a child is not a burden, it becomes a responsibility.. and if you can't financially afford that or want to have one then there is only one way to fully prevent that and thats to not do it. Yes i do think that having sex before marriage is wrong because it says so in the bible.. but i have even done it... Just be careful everyone! once you have started doing it.. its hard to stop... Keep your baby if you can because once you give them up you can't get them back! good luck

Hi I am 22 years old and I had my daughter at 18. I told myself that I was never going to have kids. Then there I was 17 and pregnant. My mom excepeded it and my dad told my mom I could not keep it. You have to really think about what you are going to do. Your whole life changes. I to this day can't believe i have a four year old, but I made her my life, and nothing or no one will ever change that. Do what you think is right.... But always remember life as you know it is gone ane you now have the biggest resposibility of your life... So be safe..

Hi,im 18 and i had my son on feb.13 but he passed away on feb.17 now look i know i was a mom for maybe a few days and i not going to tell you that having a baby wil be easy it will be hard and i know u will have your up and downs.At first i wanted to give my baby away because my parents didt want me to have a baby and they told me they would not help me out and the baby's dad was no where to be found so i know what it is like i was just like you all alone with me knowing that my baby was going to die.And now when i see girls trying to give their baby away because they cant do it or there alone it get me up set because having a baby is a gift from godand why ould you want to give a baby aways that you made and is a part of you.When i had my lil boy for the first and the last time in my arm i broke down crying because that though of me giving him away now i would do anything to have him back but there is nothing i can do because he is gone and wil never will come back to me.I just want to tell u as a young mom dont let the chance of having a baby go because when it is gone there nothing left for you to do.Now sorry this is so long but i hope u do take the time to read and try to understand what im telling you please do the right thing in your heart

actually, being pregnant is not supposed to be a bad thing. teens, or any woman who gets pregnant for that matter, just make it seem difficult because, oh, their "not ready" blahh blahh. this is something you should've been considering before you ever started having sex. I think you should keep the baby because you made it so don't back out now. It will teach you a life lesson and maybe even prevent future pregnancies lol. what I don't understand is, how you're considering adopting someone else's kid, but you don't even want to have your own...?? Im not trying to be mean. Im just trying to make you think.

I personally think that having a c baby at such an early age is unacceptable we young women has a promising future in front of us and putting it of for something this big is really stupid and you are not thinking at all

Hi Tamira, im 17 and have a 5 month old son, who i love more than anything in the world and i know that when you have your baby you will feel the same way and wont be able to give him/her up.... no one has judged me, i completed high school, and have a full time job!

Hi Taimyra I hope you really consider adoption there are so many loving couples out there that can't have there own children and are desparate to have a baby. I am one of those people and I hope you give that baby a wonderful life whatever you decide to do.

hi,im 22 years old and i had my baby girl when i had just turned 20 and i had to give up alot to be able to take care of my child. I think shes doing good by sending a message to all teen girls who want to get pregnant. It is so hard to be use to waking up whenever you want to waking every 2 hours to feed your baby. Its really hard to make that transition. its diapers, baby food ,clothes. Its a whole new experience that will test your patience sometimes. i dont think she should give it up for adoption i think you should experience it and learn from it.

I live in the same town as you and go to the same High School and so many girls there have been pregnant and went to school normally and held down a job I dont think pregnancy is an excuse to lay down and give up on life. Using a baby as an excuse to do nothing is wrong in my mind You can succeed in life if you choose to . Your life shouldnt be based on other people's thoughts and feelings. Even if your famiy won't help and support you there is still other ways to feed and clothes and keep your child secure. So please stop using your baby as an excuse to be lazy .
