I'm 15 and I'm pregnant. I know it's not ideal. I know it's a bad situation. I'm not happy or proud of what I did. It's something I know I have to deal with though.
I told my mom two days ago that I am pregnant. She was really mad at me and told me that we'd get rid of "it" soon enough then.
I tried to tell her it's not what I want. I want to take responsibility. I know it's a hard road. I don't want to kill my baby or "get rid of it." I want this baby and I want to do my best with him or her.
My mom says I'm being stupid and on Monday she's going to call the clinic to schedule an appointment to have an abortion done.
I get where she's coming from, but it is NOT what I want to do. I want to give birth and raise my kid the best I can. I'm not perfect. Nobody is. I just want to try my best.
They always say it's 'my body and my choice' but I feel like my mom isn't giving me a choice here. It's my mistake and I want to do what I think is best. It's my baby I am carrying. I don't want to have an abortion. What do I do? How can I get help so she doesn't make me get one? (link)

i was in this same situation as you. it's a very difficult decision. I was 15 when i decided to have an abortion.. i just did not feel ready for a baby at that young of an age. I felt like i myself, still needed to do alot of growing up before haveing a child. Babies are alot of work. Espeacially if your still enrolled with school. Most teenage mothers do not finsih highschool or go to college because they have to work and take care of a child. Its a life long thing. That child will be your responsibility for the rest of YOUR life. Although 15 is a very young age to have a child at, i do believe it is YOUR decision! Do whats best for the child. Technically the baby wont feel a thing until it's about 4months into the pregnancy i was told. Other people say, its not even considered a "living thing" until the baby is born. If you really want the baby, tell your doctor or really talk to your mom. Usually at the clinic you will see a social worker for a few hours before an abortion.. tell them you want the baby (if that is what you choose). I choose to have an abortion. It took YEARS for me to cope with it. I had to realize i did not "kill" my baby. I did what i felt was best for myself AND that child. As much as it is a hard situation to face, i do not regret it because i know i wouldn't be able to handle a baby when i was that young. Everyones different. Good luck! and STAY STRONG!! I HOPE i helped a bit.
