Im a teen and I think I might be pregant.

I am 14 years old, I am a little more mature for my age, even though I agree with the fact that I still am a child. I have had sex recently with a guy I think I truly am in love with. He is two years older then me and a senior in high school, even though I’m a freshman I think he might be the one, but I dated his friend, who he is planning to move in with (to another city) after high school, and we might not go out. But Lately I have been experiencing pregnancy symptoms and I’m worried. I don’t want my parents to know I’ve had sex and I don’t want to worry him. If I am pregnant what do I do? Abortion sounds reasonable, but once I think about it I might want to actually keep the baby. But I think having a baby at the age of 14, with no job, no money, and the having to rely on my parents for money and giving up on my dreams to raise a child seems like too much. If I am pregnant should I tell my parents, or should I do it on my own with only my closest female friends knowing. Because if I do have a baby my parents WILL shun me, and I will lose a lot of respect and friendships. I’m scared and I don’t know what to do. Should I talk to him about it? Should I discuss it with my family? Should I do everything on my own? What would be best for my life and his?

Answer #1

You cant know until your period or first skipped period. Either way you need to take a test. And, you cant hide a pregnancy forever. You say your mature for your age. You know the mature thing is to face up to what is going on and deal with it. Ignoring it like it never happened will not make it go away. You need to tell your parents sooner rather than later. Either way they’re going to find out. You need their help whether you want it or not. If you decide to have an abortion, you may need to get their permission. If you keep it, you’ll need to see the doctor for prenatal checks, vitamins etc, and you’ll need your parents for that. But first you need to take a pregnancy test. Then, you need to start being responsible and using protection.

Answer #2

if you have an abortion its not like you never had the baby, your the mother of a dead baby. sorry but its the truth. but it also depends on you. and your parents need to know. and tell your boyfriend you might be pregnant. he should know too

Answer #3

I havent taken a pregnancy test because, its a little too soon to tell, I dont think I have skipped my period yet either im just hoping that it will come soon. I dont have a boyfriend so thats not good. I just want to know before anything happens.

Answer #4

ok did you take a pregnancy test? they can be pretty accurate. if not, if you can maybe get your boyfriend or a friend who really cares for you no matter what, to drive you to your doctor, and ask him/her to take a MORE accurate test. and if you tell him/her not to tell your parents until you figure it out, they won’t. and if your parents cared enough to raise you and give you food and a house and love, they wont hurt you or anything, disown you, nothing. just take a pregnancy test, please. best of luck.

Answer #5

I think you should definitley let your parents know they could probably help with letting you know what to do next because you are still a child

I also think you need to include the guy in whatever you do from now on as far as the “child” is concerned

Hey! It takes two to tango

You can’t just have this baby by yourself and raise this baby without your parents finding out

Neither can you have an abortion without them finding out its just not possible trust me they’ll find out

So just to be safe I would let them know
