Hey there.
16/f
I'm not pregnant or anything, so don't lecture me. Haha.
I'm just curious, legally, can you get an abortion if you're under 18 without parental consent in the state of Florida?
Or do your parents have to be present and sign papers and stuff, because of the medial risks?

From what i understand you do not have to have your parents with you however you do have to be older the 12. once you turn 12 you do not have to let your parents know any of your medcial history. so if you want birth control pills you can get them with out your parents knowing and your doctor can not give them any information. So yes you can get one without them knowing. hope this help if you need more infor go here http://www.fwhc.org/abortion/flyer.htm

this is my situation,
im 16 years old, 4 weeks pregnant i know i have options and i have been thinking about them a lot.
adoption is just out of the question if i did that then one of my family members would adopt my child and i wouldn't be able to deal with that. So im not putting my child up for adoption.
i have always told myself that i was against abortion not just because i think of it as killing a baby but because it can cause physical and emotional harm to you also.
if i kept the baby i know i would have sooo many people behind me my mom has 4 sisters and all of them including her had there first baby at 17 so i know they would understand i know they would all help me, but im sooo scared. Im a Jr this year and the baby wouldnt be born till late july early augest so thats summer i mean .. i want to go back to school after i have the baby i would do that.. but i dont know.. i mean im not sure the father will stick around my best friend is his sister i know she would help me but i dont know what to do... i really dont want to be someones mother right now and i know its my boyfriends and mine fault that this happened but .. HELP!
what would you do in my situation, tell me why and what you think I should do!... please help any advice will help me (link)

hi well I myself got pregnant at 17 and I kept my baby and my family like yours was behind all the way. It really wasnt hard for to say i would keep her because I felt that she was a blessing and that she was given to me to show me that I was a good person and that i could hanld things on my own. Haveing a baby does make you grow up fast and teach you things that you may have never learned. I know it taught me how to hanld money. And i did finish school went to college and got married. I know have 4 great kids and i think this is where im suppose to be. you have to do wants right for you. and noone else. pray and the answer will come. good luck.
