I'm 16 and I just found out that I'm pregnant. I'm so scared. I dont know what to do at all. I need some help.......

I can only imagine how scared you must be, but you have so many options. Having been someone who tried for so many years to get pregnant and doing fertility drugs and having a miscarriage and then finally being blessed with a little boy 2 1/2 years ago has made me appreciate life so much more. Just know that you can make a difference in someone's life that was just like me, who's hopes of having a child seems grim. I would just hope that if you are not sure of what to do, please consider adoption before you decide to have an abortion. Hopefully you are with a wonderful set of parents who will be willing to help you raise your child and you will be able to keep your child. I know you must be so frightend but please do some research and look at all of the resources that are out there for you before you make any decisions. God Bless. You are in my prayers.

Firstly, have your parents been informed, is the father willing to participate in the decision making and the responsibilities? After that, you'll have to consider all of the possible concequences and rewards for every option you have available.
Abortion - That will be a decision that you will have to live with for the rest of your life. Can you handle living with that choice? Also beyond considering the emotional results, you also have to think about the physical concequences, some women have never been able to get pregnant again after doing so.
Adoption - There are many women/couples who can't have a child of their own, who would love the opportunity to adopt one. I myself would love to adopt a child someday. You could possibly organize a relationship with someone who is interested in adopting who would allow you to have a part in the child's life as well.
Keeping the child - Yes, you are young, but it is not impossible. I have two cousins who both had children by the ages of 14 and 16, their parents did not agree and did not assist whatsoever. This was many years ago, and now they are both amazing mothers to 3 and 4 children each. It will take alot of commitment and strength on your part, but I'm sure extremely gratifying.

I wouldn't keep it if I were you. I'd have an abortion or give it up for adoption. You're 16 and you're supposed to have your whole life ahead of you. Life is so short, you should be able to do all the things you want to do on your own before you tie yourself up to a child that you will the be responsible for for the next 18 years.

Best of luck

Tangerine, your advice is as sour as your name.

Sorry but I think it is bullshit that people have the option to abort something that they created when it is their own fault for not being responsible. They only reason someone should be able to abort in my mind is: When raped. It's just my opinion.
