Sorry you in this tough situation, but you can't look back now. Make decisions, and tell your parents, don't wait too long. Once they get over the "shock" they will accept it, talk to your sister, and get her advice.
In the end, you have to do what's best for you!

Best wishes to you.

Jess, this is a very tough situation. I wish you all the best and please keep us updated. We're all here praying for you.

Jess, Good luck in whatever you decide to do. I hope everything works out well with your parents and I hope they stand by you on whatever you may decide to do. You've received alot of wonderful advice and I wish you the best.

You are so right. The BF could be gone in a month or to regardless of what you decide. If he loves you he will support your decision, if he doesn't love you then it won't matter in the long run.


It will be tough, but I think you already know that.

You are the only one who knows what is right for you. I am prochoice. Does that mean I'd have an abortion? No...it means that I believe a woman should have a choice as to whether or not she wants to have one. Only YOU know what's right for your situation.

There are already lots of children out there that need homes(don't feel you need to bring a child into the world because someone else can't have one, there are more than enough to go around).

Don't have an abortion if you won't be able to live with it. No matter what anyone else feels, it is YOUR body, therefore YOUR decision. You'll only scare yourself with those sites. There isn't a site that shows you how hard it is being a mom and those sites are NOT the norm. They're for shock value.

I miscarried my first two pregnancies. Neither one ever had a heartbeat. Do I say two of my children died? No, I say I miscarried. If that wouldn't have happened then I wouldn't have had the two I have now because I wouldn't have had 4 children.

All the choices are hard but no one should judge you. It's scary what you're going through right now. Having a baby should be a joyous happy time. Maybe you can see a free counselor and decide what you want before you tell your parents? Then at least you have a starting point because right now, it just sounds like you're scared and understandbly so.

Whatever you decide, don't feel you have to tell anyone here your decision. We are just offering our own advice, take it or not. Good luck, honey.

Hey everyone,

Sorry I haven't replied to some PM's yet. I told my parents this morning so I'm not at home right now. I'm staying at my best friends house 2night but will be back home 2morrow. They took it extremely hard and did kick me out at first. But they called me back later on and told me 2 come back, so I'm going 2morrow and were going to talk about it more once they are cooled down. Once again, thanks for all the support!

Love,
Jessica.

Dear Jess:
I am a mother of two girls. If one of them was pregnant at 17 I would want to know asap. Your parents love you and will guide you with your decision, whatever that may be. I would embrace my daughter and support her. I'm sure your parents will do that also. If keeping your baby isn't a possibility then know that there are a lot of childless parents out there yearning to love a child. That child could be yours. Try to keep an open mind. God bless you.

awwwww I hope everything works out for you hun and that they do let you stay home

im glad they arent going to make you move out! Good Luck!!!!

jess, i know exactly what you are going through. at the age of 17 my junior year of highschool i got pregnant with my then boyfriend who at the time was ONLY 16 a kid himself. i was scared to death because my father is a strict hispanic man and expected more from me. my then boyfriend and i made the desc. to keep the baby and we told my father. of course like any parent he was dissapointed because he only want the best for hisdaughter and don't want them to suffer .. but in his words "siempre seras mi nina .." ( you'll always be my little girl ). sadly i misscarried according to the doctor i was too petite and young. telling your parents seems like the scariest thing to do but they are the ONLY ones who will support you 100% no matter what.

take it slowly
 

Hello Jessica
I hope things go well for you. Your parents did the right thing ... they love you and don't really want to lose you, they were just stunned.

When they 'came to their senses' ... they called you ...
things will work out, Jessica, we all know you will make the decision thatz best for you. Keep your options open.
with concern,
Debbie

Ok I'm home already. My mom didn't want me spending the night anywhere else because she wanted to talk to me. We talked and I'm going to keep the baby. They are going to help me and make sure I stay in school and accomplish everything I've planned. I will stay living at home, thank God.

Whew!
 

Hello Jessica,
Whew! I am so glad your parents are supportive ... they love you ... they only have your best interests at heart. I know that sounds corny ... but itz the truth.
