I took several pregnancy tests the other day with my friend by my side for support and they all came out positive. I am 17 years old and only a Junior in High School.

The guy I slept with was my first and we used protection, but I was not on the pill. He's not my boyfriend, just a friend of mine and he lives out of state.

I have no clue what to do, my friend is the only person that knows.

What do I do???

17 may seem like a scary age to be pregnant and in all truth you are in a tough situation, you are not married and you are not in a strong, established and loving relationship with the father but you know what? There are girls younger than you and in worse situations than you who have done it very successfully, you can do this, what I think you need to do first is this, call this number, 1-800-395-HELP, they will give you the number and location of the closest Pregnancy Resource Center to you where you can have your pregnancy confirmed, you have to to get state medical, most likely get a FREE ultrasound and hear your baby's heart beat and they will help you make the best choice for your situation and go over all of your options with you, they can even be the bridge that can help you talk to your parents about this in a setting that is neutral....I am so glad that you have your friend and that she is supportive of you, you will need her so much, just do your best to take a deep breath and know that things will work out, there is so much help out there for young moms and no matter how scared you are there is always hope and light at the end of the tunnel and you will never regret being a mommy....let me know what happens with the Pregnancy Center and if you have any more questions...Love Meg

i agree with meg 100%, please go see your gp so that you can begin to prepare for your little bundle of joy. please choose to give your child life. abortion is not the answer and should NOT be used as a form of birth control. best of luck!

Hi there, I must agree with Meg and Enya.. please be yr baby's voice during the next nine months. I can almost assure you with 100% certainty that you will forever regret and be haunted by chosing an abortion.
I hope that you find the courage to make the right decisions. Much love and support,
Evangeline xoxo

hello.
i am 18 and just over 6 weeks pregnant, i am keeping the baby although me and the father are not together, the father is supporting me and so is most of my family, although my dad no longer has contact with me because of but its not such a bad thing. i dont know how things work in the usa but i live in the uk and things will be just fine for me and the baby im determined to make sure of it. trust me u will regret an abortion and will be so proud of urself even being a young single mum! xx

I also agree with the other girls, question how did you get pregnant using protection? did it brake or something? best of luck with your decision, you can do this but first you need to tell your parents and the father before you make any hasty decisions.
