Scared
- I'm 15-16 in October. I dated the same guy for ages an I was always scared of having sex, when I did though I used a condom! I was safe an it was my first time. My parents are really strict and they don't like me having a boyfriend. I have no close friends to talk to and I'm just really scared. I am only of my period by 5-6 days but I am against abortions more than anyone I know. I can't have a child though. I'm to you! I'm scarred and I don't know what to do. Can someone please help me! Please!

Please, Tell your Parents or
- A responsible adult you trust. I am the Mom of a 15yr old boy who's ex girlfriend is pregnant and having an abortion on Monday. I wish they had said something sooner, we could have done something and not waited until now. It's a true struggle not just for the teens, but the parents as well. And as the boy's parent, I have no choices in the matter. I am supporting my son's ex completely in her choices and paying half of course. No matter how mad your parents may be, they will be more upset the longer you wait. I promise, if you tell a responsible adult or a parent *even your ex's parent if it comes down to that', they will help you thru this time and your choices. And we all get over being mad, what has happened has happened, there is nothing you can do but deal with it. Understand you are teens and make mistakes. This is a big one but it does not have to ruin your life. I wish I could give everyone of you a hug and tell you it will ultimately be ok. Trust yourself and fate.

just trying to help
- Maybe the boyfriends parents could find out first and tell your family because they are mature adults who already know what its like to find out and it would let your family know whats going on without you having to be there if your too scared.

15 and possibly pregnant?
- My boyfriend and I were together one night and were just hanging out! Then I realized that we both were partially undressed; he went inside of me not even Once a full time unprotected, but I've heard crazy stories! So I dont think I am, but I've been feeling sick.. Is it just my nervous system? Am I just stressed? I need help:/

15 and pregnant
- what you're parents are really the only ones that are there for you. Not even my ex-boyfriend of 2 years also my son's father told me he didn't want anything to do with us. My parents are a big help, I do not know what I would be doing in my life if they didn't stick by my side. I probably would be a high school dropout. It's a very scary thing to have to tell your parents that you will be a teen parent but in the end they are really the only ones there for you.

15 and pregnant
- I had my baby at 15 years old and now I am 17. Let me tell you this was the hardest thing in my life. I myself was still a kid having a kid. I was scared out of my mind! I obviously had to tell my parents sooner or later, there was no hiding this especially because I was starting to show. After I told my parents well lets just say they weren't proud of me, they yelled at me until they couldn't even yell anymore. They did not kick me out, and I am so thankful for that, because regardless I was still their daughter. They didn't throw me a baby shower or have any kind of celebration, which I expected because a soon to be teen mom isn't really something to be proud of. but they stuck by my side throughout the whole pregnancy. Now I have a wonderful son and two very very helpful parents. They are so hepful, they take care of my son from 7 in the morning to 5 at night, because I go to school and after school program. Yes I am in real high school and I'm still an honor student. But no matter

10 weeks
- I'm 16 and 10 weeks prego and I haven't told my parents yet the only ones I have told are my older sister and younger sister and a couple of my friends. I'm a Sophmore and I got back together with my ex at the time and then we broke up because it didn't feel the same anymore we weren't inlove like we used to be so he got with one of my old friends and they are very happy and I'm pregnant I told him I needed to talk to him and his response was I don't want to hear your bullshit. i know his girlfriend brain washed him which I already had a feeling he wasn't going to be supportive of course when we were in love he told he all these lies and I believed him well I realized I was young and inlove and he didnt turn out to be everything he said he was. Well I am very independent and I have faith I can do it alone but it's okay I can turn to everything I wasn't too which is why I am going to put him on child support if he doesn't man up.I know I will be a great mommy I will never leave my baby

16, and not sure if pregnant.
- I recently turned 16. I love my boyfriend. We are best friends. We don't have the perfect relationship, but we have an amazing and real one. We are really close & even though we are very young (he is 17) We are planning our first kid. We had been trying for months so we said we would stop because every month I would get my period and just be disappointed; I got my period at the end of January. Now its March 6th and still have not gotten my period. Im not usually ever late. If so I am early. I been getting a few symptoms. I am taking a test in a week or two if I dont get my period. I am so scared to tell my family. I feel like theyll think of me as a hoe, but I have con confront them if I find out I am. Im exited and scared. What happens happens. I am going to stay thinking positive.

15 and Pregnant :(
- So my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex recently. I am getting all the symptoms of a pregnancy, and my period is late. My boyfriend is fully supportive of a child, he is there for me. One problem; he is 17, I am 15. I am afraid to tell my mother. (We are not close, and she is not understanding). She would ground me, and keep me away from my boyfriend. I want to tell her, but I don't want to be kept away from my love. What do I do?

Had my baby at 16
- I found out I was pregnant at 15. I told my "guy friend" (who was 17) he was very supportive and he decided for us to be together, but I decided not to tell my parents till my 16th birthday because I knew they would kick me out. So when I turned 16 I was 4 months pregnant and I told my family. Of coarse they were pissed and they told me to get out of their house. My dad had tried to fight my boyfriend and it got violent and it was awful. Mean while I moved in with my boyfriend. He worked to support me and in August instead of going back to school I started online classes. I had a beautiful baby boy in November. After I had the baby my parents were a lot more understanding and respected me and my boyfriend more. I am now currently enrolled in College and I'm living a tougher life than most teens. I wish I would of wanted to have sex and if you aren't ready for a baby then you should wait to. A baby is a huge responsibility for two teens.
