Girls: What would you honestly do if?

I'm 15 right now, and I would abort. My reasons:

1. It would ruin my body. I would hate to get stretch-marks and get saggy boobies (because mine right now are pretty fantastic) and all that, especially at this young age.

2. I hate children. I think they are annoying and demanding and selfish. They cost too much and they have no concept of selflessness or gratitude. Babies are a nightmare. They scream and cry for no reason at times and give you no thanks for anything you do for them.

3. I want to finish my high school education and go to college. I'm not saying that teen mothers can't do this, but I am saying that it's really hard for them to do this. I want to go to college and get a good job later in life.

4. Childbirth. I learned in sex education class that the reason women usually can't recall the pain of childbirth is because their brains erase the memory. The pain of giving birth is so horrible that if women could clearly remember how badly it hurt, they would never want to have another baby and the human race would die out. Knowing this, do you actually think I would want to put myself through that horrible horrible pain?

5. Pregnancy. Some annoying little fucker who kicks you in the intestines 24/7. And your boobies get big and sore, along with your feet. You throw up. You get constipated. You get random food cravings. Your back gets sore. You have mood swings.

6. I heard that women shouldn't watch horror movies when they're pregnant, because it shocks them and gets their heart rate up or something that ultimately isn't good for the little womb creature. Screw that! I love horror movies so much it scares my mother. I can't go a week without watching some sort of horror flick. I would get really depressed if I had to give up slasher movies for nine months.

7. People would judge me when I started to show. The only way I would get pregnant at this age is if I was raped or otherwise assaulted. I'm waiting for marriage to lose my virginity, so I will not become a teenage mother. Anyway, even though I would have to be raped to find myself pregnant at this age, people who see me in my everyday life (going to school, stores, hanging out with my friends, etc.) would just say "Oh, look at that stupid teenager who doesn't know how to use a condom or close her legs. What a whore." when that is not the case.

8. I don't even want to have children in my lifetime. I just don't have the patience or the ability to sacrifice my needs for the needs of someone else every day for the rest of my life. I get frustrated with people easily. That's just how I am.

And that's why I would get an abortion.

EDIT: Thumbs down? You think it's prefferable that I make myself miserable carrying I child that I don't want? You think it's better that a child be born into a life where I loathe it for existing and cannot give it everything he / she needs? You think I should carry a child that could be born horribly disabled because I am not fully delevoped and not suitable to carry a baby at this age, AND because I have to take prescription medication daily?

REALLY?

It's so hard to think about things like that sometimes but when it turns into reality.. oh my. I'm 15 and I can honestly say that if I was pregnant right this very moment.. I wouldn't even BE in this house.. my family is very loving but I mean, they'd be so disappointed in me and would probably disown me :/ as harsh as that sounds.

I am 18 and i would keep it honestly

i have good qualifications 11 GCSES and 3 A levels a boyfriend who i have been with for 4 years a full time job, and a very supportive family so i don't see why not :) it may not be perfect timing if i was but i think i would cope well .

I'd go to my best friends mum, she's like my second mum and i can tell her anything, it would break my mums heart, I would take the 3 day emergency pill and then go to a doctor with my best friends mum JUST to make sure it's fine. The if i felt comfortable with it later i would then tell my mum.

Age 14 btw :)

I would have an abortion cos if i kept it it would be unfair on the kid and affect his/her life for aswell as mine.

I don't think at 14 my body is completely ready for a baby either .

I'm 17 now and I would keep my baby :) I love children and I really want to have kids of own in the future, but not now, like in ten years now. If I was pregnant now, I would keep my baby. I would be my fault for being pregnant in the first place and not my baby's. I would never have an abortion, never, not in any circumstances and I wouldn't put my child up for adoption. My child would be my child and I would like he or her.

I'm 18. I'd probably give it up for adoption. It would be so hard but I wouldn't be able to look after it properly because I don't have a job.

I'd be scared out of my mind.

Well first I'd tell my bestfriend-s-. And I know they'd help me through. I'd tell the father, and my parents.

If I lived to see another day....just kidding, :)

Then depending on the situation, I'd either keep the baby or put it up for adoption, whichever was best for the baby.

:)

Bring on the TDs :]

Honestly, abortion.

I'm 14. I'm at no age to raise a child, or to carry a child. I don't think I could put it up for adoption for emotional reasons.

Thumb me down, but it's what I would do. Kudos to you if you had the strength to keep it or give it up for adoption, but I couldn't.

I would get an abortion because having a child in your teenage years will ruin the rest of your life.. Well not exactly ruin, but you won't be able to live your life how a normal teenager would and you wouldn't have much money for yourself. Also because it would ruin my body...

I'm be stupid enough to get pregnant in my teenage years anyway.

I'm pro choice, I'd get an abortion & i'd go to my GP or the hospital and ask about it then get it done. Adoption is not an option for me, i would not want to be ill, missing school getting fat, having stretch marks, getting abuse from everyone and i don't want a child coming to me at 18 asking why i gave them away. I'm not mentally stable to have a child, I'm in full time education, I have no money to support it & My boyf & his parents would be ..horrible about it. Luckily i have the implant to prevent pregnancy. I wouldn't go to my mum, i'd go straight to the doctors. I'd love to keep it if i got pregnant but i know i'm not ready.
