I think one thing to consider is if you choose abortion, you need to KNOW that you'll be able to forgive yourself for doing it. Life is just too short to have regrets, so whatever choice you make, jump with both feet in.

You can still do all the things you want to do.Trust me you are stronger than you think.
I had a friend get pregnant in our 7th grade year (no joke) she still graduated high school and went to college with the support of her family. Work it out with your family..Seek help from them and support. Stay living at home and attend a college close to home, take as many online classes as you can and have your parents watch your child when your in classes that way there not always watching your child. Be honest with your family tell them how you feel.. let them know you want to stay home and need there help so you can accomplish what you want to in life and give your child a bright future. If your parents aren't supportive try his. And if all else fails you two can rely on each other for support.

Look at it this way.The first year or two of expenses aren't that bad..And if you don't have to pay rent and stay with your family you can pick up a part time job on the weekends and that should give you decent cash flow for the first two years. Having a child will also make it easier to get grants for school which means less loans to pay back as well.

Theirs also wic to help you with formula because you are so young and don't yet have an income. You can also consider doing a two year program at college first that way you can set yourself up in a job and when your baby is a bit older around 4-5 and starts to attend school you can go back yourself and finish.

Or lastly perhaps his parents or your own can adopt the child from you and perhaps agree that when you are more stable return custody.

while abortion is a touchy subject that I would say 90% of this forum including myself does not agree with, especially seeing as I myself just had my second miscarriage and I am pregnant again..So I'm on of those women you so boldly seem to think its okay to speak for... you have to consider the fact that this is a scared child who is seeking advise your post was really uncalled for this is supposed to be a supportive environment and it would have been just as easy and conducive for you to cut out your first two sentences and simply say that "the risk by having sex then you should face your responsibilities ...keep baby or give baby a nice life being adopted" just my two cents!

Then perhaps you should have just reported it instead of adding your comments and behaving like a three year old in doing so

I don't believe anyone has the right to judge another, but we all have the right to an opinion. How we choose to phrase that opinion is what we should be considering...our right is to an opinion not to kick someone when they're down, turn them away when they ask for help or deliberately make anyone feel bad.

To the OP, I can only imagine how scared and untimately alone you are feeling right now. I have a friend who had an abortion a few years ago despite being 25 and in a good job etc, she feels it was the right decision for her, but doesn't feel good about it. It doesn't, however, haunt her every day and she has moved on to get married etc and is now pregnant again. I'm pregnant now, but only just, and can't imagine losing my teeny bean. However, I said to my husband only last night how lucky I feel to have planned and wanted this baby, cause to be pregnant and scared and unsure would be horrible, as pregnancy is truly scary. I'm terrified and we planned for this baby!

You sound like you have a lovely network around you, don't rush anything. If you do decide to have and keep this baby, things have a habit of working themselves out for the best, I truly believe that. You will find a way and will have the ultimate reward.

Good luck my love. xx
