"Teenage pregnancy - who really decides?"

Hi,
I've just found out that i am pregnant and i have two loved ones pulling me in either direction. I have my fiance who wants to keep the baby and i have my mother (who no matter what i decide will support me) who wants me to get rid of it.
Im only 17! The father is 18 in a full time well paid job and i am half way through my college diploma. What do i do? I am being pulled in two diffrent directions and really i am no good at life altering decision making what do i do? I need some advice from both girls and boys!

In answer to your orginal question, alias86, I'm pretty sure I decide.

So basically this girl slept with someone who happened to have the same dad/mum and is now pregnant?

Isn't that incest?

my friend sent me an email telling me about my other friend (the pregnant one) and that was what it said!

.....

my friend got herself pregnant with her halfbrother

Im 19 also, but if someone told me they were expecting my child i would be mortified.

I know a little about this subject, but only a little.

My sister got pregnant, which was unplanned. She was in her first year at university and although she was engaged, she was not planning on getting married until she had left uni.

My parents are devout Christians, which made telling them very difficult for her because of how supportive they have been to her throughout teenage problems and now she was feeling like she had let them down. Anyway, the keeping abortion was never even an option in my sisters mind. She had made these circumstances for herself and now she was going to deal with them.

Her bloke, (now husband), is 20, (19 at the time) and my sister is a few months older, so there is a slight difference in age between you and her.

She told my parents, who were of course disappointed, but even she was surprised as to just how supportive they were.

She took a year out of uni, (she goes back very soon), got married, had the baby and found a house. Her husband stopped his college course to get a job.

I have asked her very bluntly about all this and she said despite it being hard, having made her bloke stop college and has put extra strain on their marriage, they feel that if they can get through this they can get through anything.

She also says that whenever she looks at her son or hears him laugh she knows it has totally been worth all the pain upheaval.

A lot of it depends on how YOU feel, and no one can tell you that, you probably wont have a full idea until you’ve thought about it for a long time, (I don’t know how far gone you are).

Also it will depend on your family, friends and college. It will depend on just how much support you have around you, because believe me, you are going to need it.

hey ros how are you?

Can i talk with you online please i need your advice and stuff?
