What can I do I am 15 and prego?

It would be foolish to try to abort your own baby. You’ll likely wind up bleeding to death if you try the old ‘punch me in the stomach’ routine, or something equally absurd. Personally, I think it’s wrong to kill ANY child, but hey, that’s why people have been debating the issue for decades…

If you were adult enough to engage in adult sexual relations, you are adult enough to own up to your responsibility. The first matter at hand IS telling your parents. It’s a very scary thing- I was married when I got pregnant, and it was still very scary telling my family because my ex-husband and I weren’t in the best living conditions. Just tell your mom, ‘Mom, I did something very stupid, I’m very ashamed of what I’ve done, but I’ve gotten pregnant and I need your help and advice.’ Simply by being honest and open and remorseful will win Mom over eventually. She is going to be shocked, disappointed, and angry with you- that much is a given- but you have a child growing inside you so now you have to grow up and face responsibility. Then you can have your parents take you to the doctor, if you chose to have an abortion. You are legally a child- even though some states allow abortions without parental consent, that is medically unwise. If something should happen to you, your parents NEED to know where you are, what you’re doing, what has been done to you, so they can get you the best care possible. And stuff goes wrong at abortion clinics more often than they’d like for you to believe. Your parents are the only ones who can approve treatment for you in a legitimate hospital if the abortion butchers screw up.

Please think about everyone involved; especially the innocent baby you’ve created. If it is possible for you to carry this little one to term, I hope you will do that, and then put your little girl or little boy up for adoption. If not, then I hope you will be smart and go to your loved ones for help and advice- parents love their children no matter what. NO. MATTER. WHAT.
