you know what everyone makes mistakes in life ....i don think u should care about what ppl think of you....its not like you did it on purpose or anything ..let me tell you this a child is a blessing and it doesnt take some1 to learn something years on years .......its like learnin to walk for the first time ..you fall u get back up ........so if u cant take care of a child then start learning..cause in the future ur gonna regret giving your child up for adoption.....i dont have kidz but i could tell u ....am just 18 and i have friendz that went through the same thing like you...u better start thinkin before its too late....

I want to say as a teen parent i got pregnant at 16 and gave birth at 17, i am 27 years old now and i can say i NEVER should have had a child so young no girl should. My life has been filled with regret and what if's, I could have and i wish i did! I Had no adult tell me my options or help me towards any other then giving birth and raising my child. The father has been around buts its been alot of ups and downs. i am married now with other children and the separation some times within my own family is difficult. Yes number one we should try to not get in the situation period. But second if someone wants to go for adoption or termination of a pregnancy its an individual choice. There is nothing wrong with adoption if you are young do not feel bad for considering it. you need to think about the rest of your life and there is soo much more living to do at 16 or 17 we think we have no time i guess, so we wanna experience it all. but the truth is the real time to learn about who you are is between 17 and 27 years old. And trying to raise a child before you come into your own is not fair to the baby. Or yourself. Good luck with whatever choice you make but just know it is going to be a very bumpy road and if you do not have an adult who will support you and guide you it will be hard. I am sorry to any teen who gets pregnant i do not wish it on anyone. I know we all want to be loved and feel loved

I think that the pregnant girl should not give her baby up for adoption unless it's her absolute last resort. I understand that it willmbe hard to have a child at such a young age but she needs to understand that if she makes a decision like that she may reget it for the rest of her life. I strongly disagree with adoption because when I was about 9 years old my mom ended up getting pregnant with another baby that she couldn't afford so she gave her away like someone would give away a shirt. I often think about what life would be like if I was given the opportunity to know anything about her. But for now she will just be known to me as Julissa. So the whole point of me writing this is to let the mom know to keep her baby and love it no matter what because you will always regret that decision and wonder what could have been. You can do this!!!!!!

pliz teens watch out

i think its crazy how every show highlights how negative pregnancy is. i delivered my son at 25 weeks, and i was 16 years old. since then i have gotten my son through 8 surgeries as he is still alive and doing better then well by every physical, developmental and occupational therapists guage, i graduated with honors after only attending school for 1/2 days so i could be at home with my child, and am awaiting the start of my senior year of college which i will follow up with grad school. not only this but i have successfully held down two jobs, and i do not recieve child support nor is the father of my child on the birth certificate or in his life. if you are bringing a child into this world it IMPERATIVE to realize how large of a responsibility it is and how that responsibility will be yours for the entire life of that child, but it is do-able. you have to be smart, fight hard and educate yourself but you can do. mothers are the strongest people there are. and mothers, especially single mothers, are survivors.

i know your really scared being a teen and pregnant i was 19 when i had my daughter and truth be told i was scared out of my mind i felt alone and like no one understood what i was going through because i did not want to be pregnant but in the end i had to face that it was time to grow up and take responsibility and i have a beautiful baby girl who i love so much so i say keep your head up everything will be okay

alexandria, a pregnancy is no joke. and not something that you can hide or put on the back burner and deal with later on. its serious. you now not only have to care about your health and well-being, but the growing baby's life inside you. seeing a doctor is a number 1 thing you have to do now, if you have not done so already. there are prenatal vitamins that you should be taking now as well if your not already taking them to make sure the baby gets the essential necessities that he or she needs to grow into a healthy baby. your 15, and at 15, you need guidance still. if there is anyone in this world that you can talk to it is your mother. dont judge how your pregnancy will go by how your friend is dealing with her pregnancy. Every pregnancy is different, just like every baby is different. Im 19, i have an 8 month old, and when i told my mother she was not pleased. but with time she came around and loves her grand-son. i pay for everything that my child needs with my boyfriend, my parents do not support me. it is hard, im not going to lie. and there are days when i wish i was a normal 19year old. but that will never happen. i enjoy bonding with my son, but everyday is a challenge to get through when your running off no sleep and tired from the days before. Be prepared to hear some things from your parents you dont want to hear when you tell them. they probably will be angry, and what their saying is coming from anger, because you are there little girl. but listen to what they have to say with an open ear.

hmmmmmm alex brooks!!! keep that baby if u will be having one....just face the consequences of what u've done...just tell ur mom as soon as possible...b'coz the earlier the better..they could be more prepared on what is in store for you and your family in the future..start saving money bcoz pregnancy is a very costly thing..... be prepared as early as now..than telling it later....=] i too is also suffering from a dilemma.. i myt be a teenage dad at the age of 16 but i wish that the protection that we use did work...=]

right now im scared that i might be pregnant.im only 15. and its very scary. i dont wanna tell anyone either. im not sure what they would say. but im just hoping that my period will come. it still scares me redaurdless. cause im not sure how to handle any of it. my best friend is pregnant and it seems like everything will be okay.
