im 16 and a junior in high school. i took a at home pregnancy test yesterday && it turned out positive. im scared to tell neone im pregnant even the one i love. i already feel nausa and i get the feeling of wanting to puke. i want an abortion because i know i cant take care of a baby at the age of 16.i know theres no way of getting around telling them because to have an abortion papers have to be signed and how much it cost. i have my whole life ahead of me especially graduating high school and going on to college. im extremely scared to tell my parents. im scared of what they will say and how they will react. they will be disappointed in me. what do i do? how do i tell them? im afraid they will end up takin the one i love away from me. someone please help or give me some advice

i know how you feel. but i am not saying go ahead with the abortion because i know everyone i know and everyone i have ever talked to who has gotten one ihas ended up regretting you. i will only say you make the right decision for you. but you have to tell your parents i know its going to be hard o tell them but you need to tell them. and u need to tell the baby's father. before making the decision for the baortion talk to evryone to make sure you will do the right thing for you. i am here if you need to talk just give me a shout!!

Please before you make an appointment to have an abortion read the posts here on stand up girl. There are many girls that went though an abortion and regret it after words. Once the abortion is preformed it can't be undone. Please read the stories of other girls on this site. Other girls have had there babies & gone on to finish there schooling. You can too & these girls will help you when ever they can. I will be praying for you that you will choose life for your baby. Thank You Roddi:

I know this is a scary thing. But do you really think that aborting your child will make things better? If you really think that you cannot be a mother yet, then save your child for someone else who badly wants to be a parent and for some reason or another can't have children of their own. I fear that if you abort your baby, there will be extreme emotional repurcussions, not to mention the physical damage that can happen from abortions. Please talk to someone close to you about this, or get back with me if you want to talk. Abortion may seem like the easy way out, but nothing can erase the life inside you. And if you did decide to keep your baby and parent instead of putting him/her up for adoption, you could make it through school. It is NOT impossible. It may be rough, yes, but not impossible. Good luck to you, and please think before you take the \"easy\" way out. Love and God bless.

hey,

if i was you then i would just tell my parents. Belive me it wont be as bad as you expected it to be! they might be mad and dissapionted at first but they will come around. Please re think the abortion it will be the biggest mistake of your life if you go through with it! You will always wonder how your life would of been if you had your baby.

email me if you want to talk
