Children

Having children is a very special thing. Most people plan for a pregnancy for sometime and they wait until they are completely prepared to care for a child. How would you feel if you found out that you were pregnant and at such a young age? Would you tell your parents or keep it a secret? Get an abortion, adoption, or keep the child?

    i would tell my parents first thing because i would want them to be the first to know. but i would be so scared! i wouldnt keep it a secret because if i try people will talk and just make fun. i would also keep it. i am not for abortion and if im going to bear this child than i'm not going to give it up for adoption

    First off, if I found out I was pregnant at such a young age, I would be so scared to tell my parents. I would tell the father first, so he could come with me when we told our parents. How could you keep that a secret from your friends and family? Having a baby isn't exactly something that would be easy to hide. I would feel so scared and disappointed in myself. I wouldn't get an abortion, but I think I would consider adoption. I mean, if someone else could give my child a better life than I could provide at 18, then I would want to do what is best for the baby, and I would feel guilty for asking my parents to help me financially if I kept the baby.
    However, it would be hard for me to give up my baby, but at this age, I just don't think it would be fair to keep it.

    I would tell my family because they are going to find out anyways. You can not really hide that. I would also keep the child becasue I would not have the strength to get an abortion or give it up for adoption. I honestly do not know how someone can get an abortion and not regret it their whole life. It just does not make sence to me.

    If I were to get pregnant at a young age, I would tell my parents because their going to find out sooner or later. But it would definitely be hard so I would want a friend behind me. I would keep the baby. In my situation right now, it would have a good life. If I was in a bad time in my life, where I thought the baby could be raised in a better environment and have more opportunities, then I would probably give it up for adoption. But I LOVE kids and I would not be able to let mine go if I thought I could raise him/her well.

    being 17 and how i know my dad would react...there is no way that i would tell my dad. i would go to my sisters first and my best friend. then the father and see what we both would want to do with the situation. its a tough position to be in, but i know that i would be wayy to scared to tell my dad.
