Q: Pregnant And 18- Abortion Or Baby?? Please Help!
asked by: KristiesKiss on October 5th, 2007

I have been with my boyfriend for 2years and we love each other very much. I've just completed my A-Levels and I'm taking a Gap Year so I can decide what I want course I want to do at Uni.

However, I found out I was pregnant (I'm 8 weeks). I was scared to tell my mum but I did and she, my older sis (who is also preg) and my bf have been supportive.

I booked an abortion as I didn't feel I was ready for a baby, however I just couldnt bring myself to go! I want to travel maybe volunteer abroad, go to Uni, get a good job and also pass my driving test.

I don't no what to do! I'm a strong person and think I could cope with a baby, but I feel as though it will stop me from achieveing things and I think others will be dissapointed in me (e.g my Dad). I'm scared of being a failure!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Decide what is the best route for you and your child simply put if you feel you would not be at the right point in time to have a child or to properly care for your child then consider your options!

I think that you can still achieve everything you wannt to with a baby...it just takes a longer and a little more effort.
Have you thought of adoption?
Good luck!

I Am Getting So Old!
I think it will take me a few minutes to get over the shock of some of the ages of children having babies here. We did not even think about sex, let alone know what it was when I was 13.......................I still played with my Barbies. I was in 8th grade, Jr High. Actually that was the year I gave all my Barbies aaway to my cousin and discovered music. Boys sucked then..........times have changed so drastically. Elvis could not even be shown on the tv from the waist down....now, watching MTV, the giration moves these very well built teens can perform and the provacative gestures............NO wonder kids are having to pretend they are adults. It breaks my heart the innocense is robbed of them and they have to grow up and become responsible parents...............yet are only kids themselves. My hat is off to those of you who do decide to keep your children and raise them in a loving environment. To those who choose abortion..........this too is your choice. Only God can judge you!

The 12 year old rape victim is a fake. She's made multiple screen names on this website already claiming to be different pregnant women.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Good. I'm glad everyone is now in the know. I sniffed this faker out immediately.

I would have been terribly sad if it had been true!
