Help Me! Posted: 01-09-05 23:58pm
Hi
i'm 17 and pregnant. I am excited and so
is my boyfriend. We were planning to get
married long before we knew we were
expecting. The only problem is my parents
are crazy! They hate him so much and
honestly there is no reason. He treats me
very well, he has a good job the only
thing that could even be considered bad is
that he's 19. Anyway... My mom is so
convinced that he is going to "ruin my
life" that she put a restraining order on
us. Now i'm pregnant and don't know what
to do. I won't be 18 until the middle of
may and by then it'll be obvious (i'm 6
weeks now). He wants to run away until I
turn 18, he has plenty of money for us to
go, we would stay with his family. I
can't decide what to do. Help me!!!!

Your 17 Almost 18 And Theres Nothing They Can Do About It Posted: 01-10-05 01:24am
Well running away wont make thing easyier
on you and your baby at all you are 17
there for old enough to make ur own
choices u will be 18 soon and there isnt
anything ur parents can do about that I
would suggest telling them now and that u
will be a legal adult soon so they can
hate ur bf all they want u know have a
responsibilty and its up to you what your
going to do take the hard road and run
away or take your chances and get health
forum at if you stay

Well in all honesty your bf isn't showing
that he can handle this situation
maturely. Yes he can provide for you and
your child. But taking you "away" from
your parents, where they have kept you
safe for 17 years is a bit dramatic. You
both need to sit down and handle this like
grown parents-to-be. Whether you like the
outcome or not. Best of luck.

Try talking with him and your parents
together maybe that will help then prove
to them that you 2 can take care of a
baby.

Hhmmm, I have 2 opinions about this. Some
parents really really are crazy, and some
kids just say they are cause there mad at
the moment. If I knew you personally, I
could give you better advice. I think its
bs that your parents have a ro, but then
again, I dont know their beliefs or
concerns. Maybe they knew you were
sexually active and felt he maybe
pressured you into it since hes older. Or
maybe they were afraid of their 'little
girl' getting pregant and there trying to
protect you. I dont think you should hide
your pregnancy from them. Maybe once they
know the truth they will have more of an
acceptance for him. Since he will be
fathering your child, and thats not
something they can change. Pm me if you
need to talk... :)
