First of all you need to find out if you are pregnant or not!! Once you have found out you will need to speak to an adult that you can trust. If you talk to friends about this issue they may turn on you and tell others and let the rumor chain begin. A decision will have to be made. You have options. I had found out that I was pregnant when I was 17 I knew at that age, with out a full education, full time, good paying job, stable home, stable father figure for the child that the best choice was to place the child for adoption. My son 12 years later is with a fabulous family that is able to provide him with the necessities in life plus more that I would have not been able to provide for him.

This is the best time though I know it is difficult, is to decide which one of your parents (mom or dad) you can feel comfortable in speaking to about such issues you will need one of them to help you through what ever you decide to do. If you are not pregnant it would be wise of you to be open with them so that you can get yourself properly protected. But in my personal opinion if you are not pregnant the scare of the possibility at your age should make you double think about sexual activity at your age. Trust me it is not worth losing your young adult life over because having a child takes you into instant adulthood and at 15 you can't even get a full time job until your 16 and even then the jobs you do get only pay minimum wage. As a single adult mother of 2 trust me you can't raise a child on minimum wage. So please do yourself a favor and be a child as long as you can and enjoy it, complete it, and live life to it's fullest because when it is time for you to raise a child you will want the same for them.

I hope I have helped you and if you want to pm me anytime to talk I don't mind trying to help you out more. I remember what it was like to be young, pregnant and scared. Good luck to you

Just take a test. If you are pregnant, you can either keep the baby, have the baby adopted, or abort it (although I wouldn't take about the latter here, as most of the women here are against it).

If you are late, you can test now. Some early response tests are sensitive enough to detect 4 days before a missed period.

If you aren't, consider this a wake up call and get protection. If you aren't responsible enough to use a condom knowing perfectly well that it could get you pregnant, you shouldn't be having sex in the first place.

As for bridget and sandra's posts, I think they have a right to be that way because they've seen more than enough of these posts, and I don't blame them for being exasperated that people don't read the stickies.

I don't think sarcastic comments about using a condom are constructive at all. This girl realises she has been irresponsible and came here for advice and support, not judgement.

I think heather's advice is great! Focus on moving forward.

If af is late, test. If you get a bfp, talk to an adult. If you can't go to your parents, try finding a pregnancy crisis center. Try to find one that is objective about your choices. You should made up your own mind with good information and without feeling pressured by those you confide in.

You're also going to need to decide how involved to make your bf.

You can also go to the teen pregnancy forum.

What is with the comments ladies?? They don't help.

How long ago did you have sex, if you just had sex and woke up feeling crappy the next day then ther'e no way to tel if you are preggo. You will need to test if you miss a period and then decide what to do from there.

Sorry jess, I was a little testy last night. It's just that if you know unprotected sex can get you pregnant, don't do it. If you "think" you're pregnant, take a test! If the test is negative hopefully you've learned a lesson and will use protection next time. If it's positive then we can give advice.

Testy??? Don;t you mean......Drunk???? Lol

and yes it does get repetitive seeing these kids come on and ask the same thing over and over (trust me I use to make big stinks about it too) but we need to answer them civilly so they either learn from their mistakes or will kow what to do if it comes up that they are preggo.

just a little bit!

She asked an honest question I gave her an honest answer.

If she *is* pregnant, her life as a young 15 year old vibrant girl with no responsibilities is over.

Life as she knows it now will be long gone.

Trust me.. We've alllll been there. My life is no where *near* what it was before my kids were born.

I'm 15 and i'm 15 weeks pregnant. First things first find out if you are or if you're not, if you're not take this as a learning oppertunity, if you are not ready for the consequences of sex don't have sex and never forget that withdrawal is in no way a form of contraception. If you are then think long and hard whatever you decide to do. All I am going to say on the matter of abotion is that it is not the childs fault.

Where did all the posts go??? I didn't delete them for a reason.

telling her her life is over will only make her want to get an abortion. It's not very helpful advice.

Yes I do understand that i've made a mistake and I can learn from it. I'm going to get a test tomorrow. I don't mean to ask the same question as every one else I just didn't know.

Oh and I would never get an abortion. I'm so against that it's not even funny.

well, i'm against women and children living in abject poverty too. And, I know this isn't popular opinion here, but seeing as how i've lived through it, I can say that having children young breeds poverty.

That doesn't mean I am saying you should get an abortion. Not at all. But, if it turns out you are not pregnant, I would advise using a minimum of 2 methods of birth control so this kind of thing doesn't happen in the future.

Good luck!

oh ok.. So lets all baby her and tell her everything is going to be ok... Sugar and spice and everything nice right????

.W.R.O.N.G.

She knows what she did. And if she is so juvenile that she goes and gets an abortion just because her life isnt going to be what she wants then she needs to get a life herself. Apparently you are one of those over-dramatic people that have to look waaay too far into things and make a mountain out of a molehill. *jesus*

confused_.Britt>> honey... Im proud of you for not wanting an abortion.. That makes you far more responsible and reasonable thinking than *some other* people. I didnt mean to be so brutal, but if you stick around this forum, you'll see that .Iheartmybostonterrier and I are two of the most honest people in here.. We dont sugar coat things. You ask us our opinion, we're going to be adults and give you an honest answer. The last thing you need is to have sombody tell you everything is going to be ok when it obviously may not be. Im not going to make you think one thing and then find out its really like something else.

If you are pregnant, stick around.. We'll lend you all the support you'll need, and give you a .L.O.T of people to talk to. We're nice, I promise

I understand the whole being very honest part. It helps actually, I wouldn't want sum one telling me that everythings going to be peachy and it turning into hell. But all the talk helps thanks guys.

telling her how hard and life changing and un-fun it will be is much different and way better than saying "your life is over".

Her life as she knows it is over.. Cant you read that she understands and acknowledges that?
