15 And 18

The best way to tell your mom that you’re pregnant is to start by telling her you and your boyfriend are getting married. And DON’T WORRY! Love, sex, and babies are a natural part of life - Yes, even at 15, despite what everyone will try to tell you. Your mother probably realizes this deep down, even if she won’t admit it.

I don’t know your family, but I can tell you this, if they react negatively, LEAVE THEM BEHIND. You’re your own person, not their property. I hope they don’t make you do that, but it’s not uncommon to have to do that, at least at first (especially in the USA). Don’t hesitate to start a new future with the one you love and your new baby. Nothing else matters more.

Once again, don’t worry too much about it. Your mother probably isn’t really going to be disappointed, she’s just trying to scare you into making the right decisions. Mainly, she probably wants you to get married before you have a baby. The good news is that you’ve got 9 months to take care of it :)

My main worry about young mothers like you isn’t that you’re young, it’s that everyone will try to convince you that you’re TOO young, and that you’ve screwed up your life by having a baby, and you’re guaranteed to be miserable. Don’t listen to them!

I’ve done extensive research on cultural attitudes towards love, marriage, and sexuality (babies), and I’ve found that most of the negative attitudes come from jealousy, in one way or another. The fact is, having your children young has many advantages, and that’s why you’re naturally built for it.

Don’t listen to anyone that tries to tell you negative things, they’re all full of crap. I promise that if you love your baby, and take good care of your new family, everything will be OK, and you will have what everyone else wishes they had. Don’t listen to negativity!

Good luck, and don’t worry. I’m very happy to hear you have a beautiful little baby on the way!

I understand you are worried about your mother being disappointed in you, but eventually she WILL find out, you are her daughter she will know if you are pregnant if you’re not getting an abortion. Instead of prolonging the inevitable, just tell her the truth: you are pregnant and know you have made a mistake, but want her support and are sorry you have disappointed her. You can search online for Planned Parenthood groups near you that can help you with any questions you have about your pregnancy and to learn about your options. I’d like to add that although your boyfriend may be against adoption, it is ultimately your choice what you do, although he if he wants to stick around to raise the child you can work that out together. I know that you’re scared, but don’t try to do this alone. You need your mother, she may be disappointed but you can’t help that. Good luck with everything :)

dont listen to anyone that puts you down. sounds like you guys really love each other and yuo gusy should keep the baby if oyu want it. if your worried about the people loving you not giving you trust then dont. they love you they might be angry at first but they’ll forgive you over time. and you always have your boyfriend for support.

Teen pregnancy was not a problem until marriage was outlawed for people under the age of 18 in the 1970’s. Countries where marriage is legal don’t have the same “problem”, even though girls still get pregnant, like always. Most girls become sexually active BEFORE the age of 15, and it’s been that way since the beginning of time. Nobody’s opinion is going to change that. To tell pregnant young girls that they’re not normal and they should give their babies away is the true horror. I stand by my words.

when I said last person, I meant an0m1n0s’ comment. just to clarify..

have an adoption,,,it doesn’t matter that he doesn’t want adoption, he’s not holding the baby.
