I need help, iv just found out im pregnant to my boyfriend whom i love completly, i was devastated, the problem is he's indian, his parents are planning on him getting an arranged marriage next year and we've always known this. he says no matter wot i do he will support me but i know that if i carry on with this pregnancy his whole family will disown him, ill rip his life apart and he'll be left with nothing. I love him sooo much and i cant bare to do this to him so iv told him and my dad ill have an abortion. my dad thinks its the best option, my partner hates himself for me going through all this and im so torn. i no i cant have this baby, it would cause to much heart ache but the idea of a termination is killing me :( i dont no what to do, i dont even know if ill be strong enough to cope with all this. i really wish i could talk to my mum about it but its better she doesnt no 

What teenager ever thinks she would be a mother by the age of 17 let alone a mother of three by the time she was 21? A bet a lot of them don't. I know I didn't. At the age of 16, I became just another teenage statistic, a statistical momma. That was in 2001. Back then there were no TV shows of teenage pregnancy glamorizing the epidemic or even TV movies like "The Pregnancy Pact" to scare the thoughts of having babies out of young girls' minds. Those things didn't come along until I was 22 and two kids later. If I would have saw those shows back then, I would have definably gave sex a third and fourth thought .

I was young and naive. You never think it would happen to you. I am so tired of seeing these girls from 16 and Pregnant being thrown all around in the media and being paid major cash to be a statistical momma. I work hard for to take care of the babies I brought into this world and trust me when I say I have sacrificed everything for them. Is it fair that so many teenage parents are struggling and they get to be put on a pedestal for going through the "babymomma" and "babydaddy" drama. I don't think so. Why not try to help these teenage parents be all they can be and be role models for their children. Give them some counseling and some skills training, instead of teaching them to pose for a magazine cover. These are just some thoughts. We all know what sells. So can you expect anything more?

i have been reading a few of the stories on here and some girls can relate to me. i am 17, going to be 18 on sunday. i found out that i was pregnant about 3 months ago. when i found out i was so happy, but scared at the same time. how was i going to tell my parents, would they be mad, ugh so many thoughts ran through my head. the day that i told my boyfriend he was calm. i will admit i wasnt sure

I want you to know
