The father's 37? He's my age and I do understand what you're going through. People like me have a knack for being stupid at times and getting involved with really young girls who're innocent (as compared to us) gives a real high. Enough of that. When I remember the fact that there was a time that I didn't want a child and I lost that child, I really kick myself in the butt. I lost and turned my back on a God-given angel! He may not want the baby now but it's really not up to him.

Killing a baby is not something you want to do just to protect the interests of a person who doesn't want the responsibility. Please do not get the abortion. Trust me, if this man leaves you because of this, you will get over it. If you kill your baby, that will haunt you until you die and though your baby may forgive you, your pain and guilt will always run after you.

You are mistaken if you think that God looked down from heaven at a little girl and said "Oh, isn't that cute -- an unmarried barely teenage girl wants a baby. I think I will bless her with a baby". I know and believe with my whole heart that God allows us to have a free will and He will also let us bear the hard repercussions from making poor decisions but He does not take pleasure in sin nor does He just casually run the universe with an anything-goes frame of mind.

You say "God didn't plan it that way" about being induced. Cant you see that God didn't plan it that way for unmarried people to have sex and have babies? I have had two kids out of wedlock and it has only brought hurt and rejection for my kids. God didn't plan it that way and I have many repercussions in my life because of it. Maybe I didn't see it at the time and I didn't want anything to do with GOD when I got pregnant with my first but I also didn't throw His name around and tell people that God was into blessing those things that are not good for us. That He calls sin.

Mothers don't always know!!! but if you have had children you can usually tell that someone you are close to is pregnant because you can see the symptoms.

Have you told your mom that there is a possibility that you could be pregnant? Does your mom know that you are sexually active? do you sneak around and do things behind her back? Have you taken a pregnancy test?

I think that you should come clean with your mom -- she gave birth to you and she has provided for you up to this point. If your mom is angry with you and she thinks that you are keeping things from her and you are then you need to face your consequences. If you do someting your mom has told you not to and you think she suspects you of doing it then you have no grounds to be upset with the way she is treating you. She deserves more respect than that even if she doesn't make the best decisions either -- she is the adult and she is your mom. Tell her, take a test, and start obeying her. The Truth shall make you free and you dont need to be scared of her. You just need to realize if you play with fire you are going to get burned and talking with her might get a little "HOT" but by keeping this from her you have brought it on yourself.

I am new to this site, but I wanted to tell you all a little bit about myself. I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and this is my 5th pregnancy. I have two boys. Have had 2 past miscarriages and am praying I make it through this pregnancy. This is the first child my husband and I will have together.

I read so many of the stories about the bravery of these young women and believe me I feel your pain. Raising a child is not easy. Children take a lot of hard work, discipline and patience.

I think you already know you're doing the right thing. It doesn't sound like there's much to love about him except that he's a fellow human being. He certainly didn't act in a way to deserve your love.

Unfortunately, we (especially women) tend to be like a moth to a flame. Just know that you're not alone in this kind of situation.

Also, your love for your child will far exceed any love you might have for this man. You'll want to protect a baby even more than yourself, and since you're smart enough to do what's right for you, it'll be easier to continue doing so for a child. Surround yourself with people who support your decision so they can keep you grounded when you start to be tempted by him.

My boyfriend and I were together for four years. He was always abusive towards me, even in the beginning. We had been dating for only 2 weeks when he grabbed my throat at a concert and choked me. He was always so remorseful, and sad afterwards that I believed he meant it when he apologized. But I now know that he never did.

When we turned sixteen, I got pregnant with our first child, Trystan, who is now almost three, he never touched me once when I was pregnant with him, so, I thought all of the abuse, was behind me, I was wrong. Right after I gave birth, he continued to hurt me, he bruised my ribs, my face, my neck, and just about everywhere else, and for some reason, I still believed him when he said "I love you".
