: I am in a bad situation. I guess its the typical story. I am 19, a second year college student, and just found out that I am pregnant. I have no idea what to do. I know that I don't want an abortion, yet I don't want to have this baby or even give him/her up for adoption. I can't tell my parents because they will force me to have an abortion, then they will KILL me. I have been advised just to be brave and tell my parents, but I really can't, and if you knew them, you would understand why. I was considering just having the child, but what kind of life could I give it? I an supported 100% by my parents, I don't work, I am a full time students, and I am just not ready to become a mother. I just can't decided what to do, and its driving me crazy. My boyfriend of little over a year, just wants me to have an abortion, but its so hard. I don't know why he thinks that it so easy to make a decision. I have always thought that if I ever became pregnant, I would not have the baby, but now that its actually happened to me, I don't know. I can't live the rest of my life knowing that I killed my baby. I feel like no one around me understands what I am going through, and the only advise some of my close friends seem to be giving me, is to have an abortion. I am torn inside, and I just don't know what to do. I need help!!!
Like you i was in collage, i was 17 when i found out i was pregnant, I knew from the start that i was not having a abortion or adoption.
The scarist part was telling my parents, i finaly did my mum flipped ordered me to have a abortion called me all sorts of names and threw me out. My boyfriend was really supportive, after a week my mum calmed down and she started getting excited.
My daughter is almost 7 now and she's my life im also married to her dad and we had another daughter last year.
Please tell your parents first they will be shocked but i bet the will calm down and actually look forward to their new granchild.
Whatever you choose to do good luck
Kelly
