Let me tell you, its your choice! I'm 16 gonna be 17 in February and I'm 10 weeks almost 11 weeks pregnant. I'm due in may. My mom was upset when she first found out and I expected her to be but after she started buying baby clothes and my dad was disappointed at first but now he's actually excited. I've been with the father of the child for almost 3 years and he didn't want it but I did. And he's here to support me. He couldn't make me abort it or adopt it. Its your choice girl nobody else's.

The first comment didn't tell her to abort, but who are you to say she can't?  Everyone has to make their own choices with their lives.  You don't believe in abortion, don't have one. But it's not your place to dictate what others can and can not do.  I will never have an abortion, but I will not tell others theycan not make the choice for themselves.

I didn't bother reading all the comments but to the first comment. You have no right to tell her to abort her baby. I was 15 when I got pregnant and 16 when I had her. She's now 3. I'm 19. I would tell your parents. It's honestly something you should talk about with your parents. If you can't raise the baby at least think about adoption.

Honey I Know the same way you feel..your scared and alot of things are passing through your mind.I understand because I got pregnant at 14 with my first child and I knew it wasn't going to be easy in life with a child and me being a child as Well but I decided to have my son and he was my motivation & Courage that gave me every morning to suceed & become a better mother for him. I graduated high school with excellent grades & even got a scholarship to attend college. & I don't expect you to do the same thing everyone has different ideas but this is just a little to show you that Yeah a baby can be hard work at a young age but some young mother's have their baby's and are doing great in life. Just think it thoroughly, God Bless You with any choice you decide to make.

Tell your parents right away, don't try to hide it. There are options out there for you right now. Your parents might be pissed off but it'll pass.

Do what is best for you. Abortion,  closed or open adoption, or raise it. Tell your family and talk to a doctor. Just because people have opinions does not mean it is right.
