teens who are sexually active?

At this point, I'd probably keep it. That's because I'm in an extremely stable relationship with a great guy. It wouldn't be too big of a deal... I'm turning 19 in 3 days, and he turns 21 in July. We're both attending university, so it'd probably complicate things, but it's not entirely out-of-reach to raise a child where we're at right now.

I did, however, get pregnant as a younger teenager. I decided parenting wasn't quite for me, so that was the decision I made.

Looking back at the decisions that I have made, I completely and 100% am happy with how I chose to go about things. I don't think I'd have been able to attend university and be happy if I had opted to parent.

I am a pretty decent person, but I'm not exactly "motherly." I'm often described as a free spirit, and I feel like I need some more time to be able to become the mother a child needs. I just don't think it's fair to care for a child you don't want and don't know how to care for. My parents gave me a wonderful and secure upbringing, and, should I choose to one day become a parent myself, I would love to be able to give him/her the same kind of environment.

A lot of teenagers think they would keep it and raise it, but they aren't yet capable of understanding how hard it is. I'm going to assume that you have a child/are pregnant, and that's great, but it's just not what every teen wants.

I don't believe that a woman must submit to her undeveloped fetus should she not want it.

I'm seventeen and I have a two year old daughter so I guess I could just tell you what I did haha.

About a month after him and I had sex for the first time, I decided to talk to him about what would happen if I got pregnant. My mom had me at a young age and I've never met my dad because he left, and I wanted to make sure that he wouldn't do that to our child. He promised me that he wouldn't be my dad and that he would be there by my side no matter what. We talked about what we would do financially and how we would support each other emotionally and all that.

Well, come to find out, three months later I'm pregnant. And everything that he said he would do, he has done. He was seventeen and I was almost sixteen when the baby was born. We both got jobs and began supporting ourselves and our family because I was very against living off of our parents. On his eighteenth birthday he moved in to his own apartment and my parents allowed me to move in with him even though I wouldn't even be seventeen for two more months. They understood that it would be better for me, Ryan, and Emily if we lived together as a family.

We've been living together for the past year and a half and we are engaged. I'm seventeen and he's almost nineteen.

If I got pregnant:

The first person I'd tell is the father. We'd have to establish a game plan right off the bat, as we are in a long distance relationship, and there's no way I'd let him miss out on any of this. We would most definitely be keeping the baby. Next, I'd tell my roommate and my best friend. Both of them are mothers, so they'd be able to give me advice. I'd probably wait to tell my parents until after I was out of the riskiest period for miscarriage, so any time after 14 weeks pregnant. Then, I'd finish up college, work part time, and move in with the child's father.

I'm sexually active. Got pregnant several months ago. I lost the baby though. If I got pregnant again though, panicccccccccccc!

I'd finish school then have my baby & keep it. Cuz if I got pregnant now I'd be having the baby after I graduate.

Try to make the best out of the situation. I'd first tell my boyfriend and decide on what we should do with the baby. Either keep it or put it up for adoption

Even as an adult my answer would most likely be to obtain an abortion, because I have a phobia of pregnancy and it would probably drive me to suicide, otherwise.

I would keep my baby. I've always wanted a baby. I know it would be hard but I would be a great mom.

Id try to finish school and if i couldnt i get a GED. Then i would try to get a job and make the best of it.

Keep the baby.
