If your boyfriend is under 18, the only child support you can possibly obtain is via his parents, who ARE NOT responsible for what occurred. Just something to take into consideration.

Due to your age and maturity level and inability to make money, I would look into adoption. It isn't fair to punish your parents by forcing them to pay for your misjudgement nor to punish your child. The statistics on children born to teen parents are sobering.

I was pregnant at 14 too. It is very scary and you feel totally alone. If your mom wants to send you to a home for teens b/c she cares and loves you that is good. If she is doing it b/c she does not want to deal with you then you still should maybe go and let people look after you that really care about you.

I know it is different then what other people have said but ultimately you need to trust yourself and do what is best for you, not what is best for your parents. That baby is inside of you and no one else can understand exactly what you are going through. Trust yourself and your heart.

Decide for yourself if you want to keep the baby or not. Get educated about it but then make the decision yourself.
I decided to keep my baby and she is the best thing that ever happened to me even though I had her so young.
She is turning 7 soon and I can't imagine my life without her.
But that is me, and like I said you have to do what you feel is best for YOU.

As far as the father goes...if he doesn't want to be involved just let him go and do not try to convince him. It will create more problems later if he is around but does not want to be.

Good luck!

well
it could've happened through risky behavior,
not only intercourse.
and if your bf just left like it was nothing,
he didn't really care to begin with.
and as for your church,
they should understand and respect your choices.
religion shouldn't judge you,
for your mistakes or mishappenings.
God does not condemn,only protects.
and it's also what your parents want..
they're the ones who are taking care of you,
obviously not your bf,
who i'm sorry to say,
knocked you up.
there's always DNA Tests,
but if he doesn't even wanna do that,
he's not worth the effort so let him go.
also,
adoption and abortion is an option, you know..
if your churh doens't allow an abortion,
and you want one,
go on with it.
it was an unintentional mistake, so i'm pretty sure God will understand.
and if you don't want the baby,
but want to have it, and give it a safe home,
adoption is also considerable.
just remembber,
you're 14, scared and alone. having a baby as a teenager takes its toll on you because of school and caring for the child you brought into the world. you wouldn't want the baby now, if you can't offer it such a great future. you wants what's best for your child, and as a teenager, without an education, a job, and a home of your own, or husband to support you, abortion is the best choice.
wait until you're ready to ahve sex at a MATURE age, where you know you'd be able to afford a mistake if it happens.
good luck Katie,
and be more careful next time,
and choose your boyfriends carefully.

and as for the school for teen moms,
i agree,
your mom must care and is trying to be supportive, unlike your bf,
so if she wants to take on the responsibility of a child that isn't hers,
then go for it.
but i'm telling you now,
it won't be easy if you have the baby.
also,
ever heard of SIDS?
it's Sudden Infant Death Syndrome..
ever heard of crib death?
SIDS is just a fancy word for it.
it happens to babies that seem perfectly healthy, but arn't.
it usally happens when the babies' mothers had them before they are fully developed,and before the age of 20.
so i'm pointing out that you are putting your baby at risk,
if you decide to have it.
don't give yourself such a burden before you've even had the chance to become an adult and handle the emotional, mental and physical stress it comes with being a parent, particularly a teen mom.

i also forgot to say i'm 15,
just one year older than you.
so i'd be scared as hell..
so make your decision quick,
before it's too late.
