Hi Amanda
Posted: 07-31-03 02:40am

Well, the way I see it, any loving father will understand the problems his daughter goes through. If he loves you, he will be disappointed in you because you're so young, but at the same time, he will still love and care for you and support you in your time of need. If he loves you, then know in your heart that he won't stop caring.

As pertaining to your 2nd paragraph, I have no better advice to give than that of following your own heart. Young love is typically the same thing as young lust, so perhaps it'd be hard to trust somebody at that age. There's also the moral issue of whether or not to tell the real father of his imminent baby who beds in your womb. So, as I said, the only advice someone outside of your shoes can give, is to follow your own heart.

DONT WRY!!

HELLO AMANDA...WELL I FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULD JUST SIT DOWN WITH YOUR DAD AND TELL HIM EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT... YOUR DAD LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT.... HE MAY BE A LITTLE DISSAPOINTED BUT YOUR HIS LITTLE GURL... OF COURSE ITS GOING TO HURT HIM.. BUT HE WILL BE BY YOUR SIDE THROUGH IT ALL!!! I ALWAYS THINK TO MY SELF....WHAT IF IM PREGNET?? THEN I KNOW THE HARDEST PART WOULDNT BE MY AGE BUT IT WOULD BE TELLING MY DAD.. BECAUSE I TOO AM A DADDYS GURL AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.... Smile DONT WORRY ABOUT HIM BEING MAD AT YOU BECAUSE HE MAY SEEM LIKE HE IS BUT DEEP DOWN HE IS JUST HURT.......

AND TO THE SECOND PART...I THINK IF I WAS IN YOUR SITUATION AND I LOVED MY BF THEN I WOULD PROB JUST MARRY HIM AND NOT TELL THE REAL FATHER OF THE BABY!! BUT...EVEN THO I KNOW THAT IS WHAT I WOULD WANNA DO I KNOW THAT WOULDNT BE THE RIGHT THING.. YES YOU CAN MARRY HIM AND HE CAN BE THE FATHER OF THE BABY... BUT HONESTLY THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER HAS THE RIGHT TO KNOW THAT HE IS GOING TO HAVE A CHILD...HE MAY NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BABY AND THAT WILL HURT YOU... BUT HE STILL HAS THE RIGHT TO KNOW... MAYBE HE WILL EVEN SIGN OFF AND GIVE ALL RIGHTS TO YOUR BF... IF YOU FEEL YOUR READY TO GET MARRIED THEN DO IT.. BUT JUST FOLLOW YOUR HEART... WE CANT TELL YOU WHAT TO DO OR WHAT IS EVEN RIGHT BECAUSE YOUR THE ONE THAT IS IN THE SITUATION AND WE ARENT... YOU DESERVE TO DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT AND WHAT THE BEST IS FOR YOUR BABY!! JUST FOLLOW YOUR HEART!! Very
Happy

Hey, im 16 and 5 months pg. With twin's. When I told my parents my mom left. I havent talked or seen her since. My dad, he's ready. And I am his lil' girl I know he was hurt but I know he loves me and my boyfriend. My boyfriend is 19 and him and my dad spend alot of time t.G. They go fishin' and they work on lil projects t.G. Like this week they are wokin on makin cribs for the twins. He made one for me when I was born. Smile me and my boyfriend talked bout adopiton and we both agreed that it wasnt goin to happen. We are both have twins and we were both adopted. And knowing who we feel we dont want our chirldren feeling like we do. I know he' going to be there for me forever, because we both feel the love we have for each other. Most adult's dont think we know what love is. But I know I do and most importantly I know how I feel. I know how chris feels about me and he knows how I feel about him and my dad and my b.F's parents I know how we feel about each other and know that we have love and we do love each other. So what im tryin to say is that if you feel love for this guy and he feels love for you go with it. Its what ur heart wants you to do. Its what is right. And when you tell you dad...Dont be scared. B/c ur is baby he will understand..Write more if u need to talk or anything :d

First of all omg my mom finding out was the hardest thing ever but you have to live up to your responsibilites and suck it up and talk some disapointment and screaming.... He needs to know you just have to sit him down and flat out be like dad dont hate me but I need your support love and guidence right now... I'm pregnant... You have to its gunna be hard trust me me wanting to tell my mom was the lassst thing on my mind... As for your boy you have to seriously sit down and talk about this... Your 16 is he for real? He needs to understand that first off not telling the father is unfair howwwever in the long run if that is the choice you decide to make... Is one fight down the road gunna make him run? If you break up at 19 is he gunna leave and say it doesnt matter because hes not the dad? Yes you love each other now... But will you always be there for each other? I'm not being mean at all I give him mad props I just want you to go over all options if you do choose not to tell the dad... Next will your parents let you get married? Under 18 they have to sign you over basically... Are you finacially set to get married and move in with him? Does he have a steady job... What if when the baby is older and god forbid happens to have a health risk and needs blood or something from his/her true father will you be able to go to him? Sorry I am a planned I have to know who what when where why about my life so i'm just trying to help but tell me if i'm going over board... I congrats you though for having such a strong male in your life most guys who are the biological father dont even stick around... So I am proud of him... Lemme know sweetie I am totally interested

You should tell the the guy your are pregnant by that your pregnant with his baby stop letting you current boyfriend convince you other wise and you don't want to get married at 17 years old you need to sit down and get things in order your confused at the moment. Good luck

You Will Be Ok

My sister was 19 when she got pregnant and she was a daddys girl and also she was wild and hurt my parents a lot. I remember I was the only one who knew when she told him he hit the fan he got so mad and was like how can you take care of a child but later on as time went by things got better the father was never involved in this she was single it was hard but this baby girl saved her life I would not take anything for my neice <3 sometimes if you live your life wrong sometimes having a child makes you grow up your fun time is now over. Time to take care of someone I mean your still a kid yourself but now you have a life in you and time to grow up you will be ok once the child is born trust me everyone will forget how old you are. The anger from your father will disaper slowy as he watches his grandchild grow he will love him-or her so much. Im so glad my sister had my neice she is now 6 and growing up so fast children are wonderful they are a gift from god. Your blessed. Take care

First of all of course your daddy will still love you! Your his daughter! He needs to be there for you!

Wow, well I can't really say anything about the boyfriend thing because I dont know how you boyfriend is when it comes ot him being serious, but talk to him about it.

U need to tell your parent's though. I hope everything works out. It was hard for me too.

i don't think telling her that you don't give a rats ass about your dad is going to help/ if she didn't give a rats ass about her dad then she wouldnt be so scared. Girl you just have to be brave and tell him the best way you know how. If you believe in god prey, if not draw your strength from what is meaningful to you. I also think you need to tell the fater of that child. It's not fair, how would you like it if you had a kid and not knowing it. That would personally break my heart. Also please don't get married so young, wrong choice.
