I'm 15 and I'm pregnant. I want to keep it, but my boyfriend doesn't. What do I do?

My boyfriend says that he will be with me no matter what, but he also says that he doesn't want it and that abortion is best. Even though we both are strongly against it. Every time I try to tell him that I want it, he gets so upset that I stop, because I don't want to see him like that. Please help!! I don't know what to do and I really don't want an abortion!!

You need to do what you feel is right, no matter, what he acts like. Abortion is wrong and i am 100% for you to keep it. If anything put the baby up for adoption. you need a stable home for a child, and if he wont help, i hope and strongly suggest you get help from family. people who will be supportive of you. you made this baby together, yes at a young age, but now you both need to grow up quicker than you planned because a new life is involved.

I feel like its wrong to kill something so innocent and harmless, and he said he would help if he had to, but he told me he didn't want it, and I don't want him to be unhappy. And getting help from my family is out of the question.

It is wrong, wouldnt you want to live?Arent you glad you werent aborted? This is a huge decicion that you will have to live with for the rest of your life, whatever you choose. Do what you know in your heart is right. if you want to keep the baby, keep it even if he doesnt. your parents may not be an option, but there are places and people out there willing to help you. Look in to that. If you decide you cant handle a child in this point in your life, there are good familys out there who are wanting a child of there own. You can be a blessing to them. Dont give up on your beliefs, just cause he is. Be strong. i Dont know if you believe in God or not, but the bible says that He will never let us go through any thing more than we can handle. I hope the best for you.

Ok first of all, you are fifteen. The fact that I'm even reading is just terrible. But I suggest that if anything, you should have the baby and give it up for adoption. You don't want to kill a new possible life and fifteen is to young and you need to focus on school and such.

As if I could focus on school. I couldn't focus before, so I will not be able to now.
Report as
Having a baby, especially at this age, will just make things worse. You need to get your act together and get motivated. You don't want to have a terrible future. And plus, if you keep the baby, how in the world are you going to support it along with yourself? When you get older you're eventually going to have to move out of your parents house and get a place of your own. Then you'll need a job but since you weren't in school you won't be able to provide for your kid because you won't be able to get a job that pays good. I think adoption is the best choice.
Report as
Marjee is right, you need to put things in order & consider your future, asap. Your baby's life is at stake, too, whatever you decide. At 15, you still have another 60-65 years of future ahead of you. Another lifetime for many. You & your boyfriend made a very grown-up decision to have sex so young. You both need to own up to this & complete your adult responsibilities. He's saying "No" to a baby - right or wrong, believe him. Trust me, eventually you will be the one caring for this child, alone. So base your decision on what YOU, only, can handle. And I agree w/ many here, adoption gives you & your boyfriend an "out" & a baby to a loving couple who wants one. Do consider it.
Report as
Exactly, very well said. Please do consider our suggestions.
Report as
I am considering your suggestions, but on a completely different topic, my boyfriend is 17. Also, the only thing I'm afraid of with adoption, is that once the baby is born, I'll fall in love with it, and won't want to give it up. And there's no way I will live with my parents longer than I have to
Report as
You don't have to immediately put the baby up for adoption - but begin the process with the option to keep. Also, at 15, I understand how much you dislike your parents. Have no doubts that have done things you cannot forgive. Or have disappointed you. And possibly, vice-versa? We're all human & prone to making major screw ups. But until you're an adult, able to take care of yourself, & your baby - talk to them. Do you really think you can hide your pregnancy from them? One way or another, they will find out. Bite the bullet now & do it asap, please. They will not be happy & w/ probably scream & yell, call you stupid, all that - but bare it. Don't carry this burden alone. And, until your 17 year old boyfriend puts a ring on your finger - you are alone, I'm sorry, but you are. My hopes for a happy outcome are with you ashleigh. (Thank you Marjee.)
Report as
Your welcome bentheredunthat. :)
Thank you too.
Report as
And Ashleigh, I get what you're saying about falling in love with your baby and everything. But the thing that you have to remember is that you are only fifteen and every thing that you will do will also affect your baby. You're still a kid and you will probably make many more mistakes like all kids do. Your child would be better off with people who actually want a baby and can support it. So if you fall in love with the baby, just keep in mind that you will have to give up a lot for yourself and you will have to devote all your time for the baby. If you do give your baby up for adoption, I suggest you leave a note or something for your child so he can read it when he gets older. :)

no matter what abortion needs to be out of the question , the same thing happened to me when i was 18 and it was a bad decision on my part taking the next step but then i look at my baby girl and think i got her out of that so in my opinion it was the best thing that happened but since your only 15 u need to keep adoption in your thoughts.

it's her body and her choice, what if somebody has serious medical issues and carrying a fetus could cause harm?

Add a comment...

It is your body, and your decision. He was against abortion UNTIL he realized he couldn't handle the responsibility of parenthood. But that's his fault, not yours or the child's. You need to research abortion, understand the process and what you would go through during the procedure. It isn't as simple as flipping a switch - your body is going through a lot of hormone changes right now, and the disruption can cause you problems, including severe depression.

Then you need to research other alternatives - keeping and raising the child, adoption, or a family foster (where say your aunt & uncle raise the child until you are old enough and responsible enough.) Consider them all, including abortion. But don't let your boyfriend's fears make the decision for you. Don't let him force you to make a decision you don't want to make.

And you really should be having this discussion with your parents.

Well then that narrows down your choices, doesn't it? Still you need to evaluate the other options.

BTW, I hate to break it to you, but you are a minor, and you are pregnant. Your options are to 1) talk to your parents and get them on board now, or 2) wait until they notice and deal with the consequences. Personally I recommend #1. Just talk to one at a time, first whoever will be easier to talk to.

But see, by the time the baby is born, I'll be 16 and I will be able to move out. And everyone in my family hunts (except the women) and they all own guns... so I'm afraid of what they'll do.
Report as
I seriously doubt anyone is going to ACTUALLY go kill your boyfriend... don't worry!

1) How do you plan to support yourself? You're not an emancipated teen. How do you plan to go to school and work AND take care of the baby?

2) So, you turn 16 and move out... then what? Your family will have to find out you're pregnant at some point. You can't hide it forever. So you're stuck in the same position as you are now.

3) If you are really scared of your family, then you need to talk to your conselor at school. They will help you. Or talk to your doctor about it.

The type of school you currently go to should not be the basis of your life decisions. The counselor is there for YOU, not for the school's image. But remember, there is also your doctor (who you need to talk to anyways.)

Just suck it up and go talk to your mom. You really, really need to. Regardless of how embarrassed you feel, you're now stuck in this situation and you NEED your mother. Get it done now, before you have to also handle the fallout from hiding such a thing from them.
Report as
I know a couple of girls who went to my school who got pregnant, and they got kicked out, specifically because they were pregnant. And I'm afraid of how my mom will react, its not about being embarrassed or sucking it up. Its about trying to figure out when and how to tell her.
Report as
even my school isn't that bad, it's a catholic school but we have in writing that girls can't be kicked out for being pregnant

To be honest, if the school puts their "image" in front of your education, I wouldn't WANT to go there. Just my 2 cents.

i think that he's being realistic ... not abortion of coarse but adoption maybe ... What will you provide for your poor baby , you don't have a job , you don't have a career and quite frankly with the baby you're lucky just to finish high school ... you're the mom and he's the dad ... only 8% of teen relationships survive so if you think it'll be happy ever after dream on because at the end of the day if you guys break up u'll be the single mom ... you guys are kids and how are you suppose to provide for a kid and believe me nowadays kids are very expensive ... you will not give your child a chance in life - don't be selfish and think about the baby .

ashleigh, I'm sorry but everything russian is saying is correct. Do you really want to gamble your future & happiness, along with your baby's, thinking you can beat the odds & take care of this baby just fine without your boyfriend's support? There's a huge difference between caring for a child, backed up with loving support, vs. caring for a child because it's simply your responsibility. In other words, a baby should be a wanted & loved being - not an obligation due to an unplanned pregnancy. No child wants to grow up realizing they were born a burden to their parents. How cruel...

I feel like all of you are just putting her down.. how do you know she doesnt have a helpful and supportive family that can help her?!?! 2 girls got pregnant my sophmore year in HS.. guess what? Their parents helped them as much as they could.But the moms also worked, busted their butts in school and missed out on alot of "normal" HS things.. They both graduated and are in college. Having a baby doesnt ruin your life. It changes your life. Youre just going to have to get motivated and set a goal. Not something that you know you cant acheive but something small to start out and when you reach that one make another one. Talk to your parents. No matter how mad you think they will be, you will feel so much better after they know and everyone can talk, ideas and plans can be made. Which ever choice you make, just realize that you made a decision that is bringing life into this world and whatever you decide you will have to live with forever.. whether it be adoption, abortion, open adoption, etc. I hope you make the right one for you :) And yall stop being so mean to her!

We are not putting her down, calling her names, or whatever it is you are implying? (No offense.)

If you read her other replies, she says she cannot talk to her parents & that her b'friend doe not want the baby. These are key players in her success as a young parent. If they are unhappy about her decision, then she will eventually be unhappy too. And possibly the child as well. Hopefully this young lady as sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, g'parents, whoever, to help her thru things, whatever they may be. Hope so.

If the baby is too much in your life, (I personally think it would be, with you still in high school.) Im only 2 years younger than you, but I would give it up for adoption. Its too much for you to handle at such a young age, but so many people all around the world have trying to get pregnant for years.

it's unlikely that they would be, only a very slim chance, more likely they will grow up below the pverty line and be a criminal by the time they even hit puberty, with severe emotional issues and turn to drugs and unsafe sexual practices for relief and possibly be involved in an unplanned teen pregnancy- and that's if she raises it. clearly this kids grandparents and father don't want to be responsible for it. If it is placed up for adoption, it'll probably get juggled around through homes in the foster system until either they age out, or if they are lucky they get taken by a family, but even then they may be stuck with undesirable circumstances. They will be more likely to be preterm if they are born and have mental and physical health conditions that would potentially ruin any hope for a good quality of life

You want to make an informed decision on what to do ... Then do some research about HOW abortions are performed. If that doesn't help you make up your mind ... Nothing will.

I dabbled in every possible perspective when i got pregnant as a young adult.Think about how you for sure feel about this new life that is growing in you.Talk with your parents about how you feel.Ifyou keep the baby,and your boyfriend isnt supportive,leave him.in the end most mothers are the backbone of the family.Next,read non-stop about infants and how to be calm to be prepared if your baby cries alot.Prepare for everything.Whatever age,being a parent is always a crash course because no one child is the same.All you can do is prepare for whatever may happen.Dont let yourself drop out.Get a job, so the taxes you end up paying,help pay for those government programs to help single parents with low incomes until you can get a career.Think really long about about if you think your ready for all the things being a parent requires..money,patience,endless love,compassion,maturity,a level mind. So talk with mom n pops about how you will provide for your child, if your parents care about you in sure they'll help..given you show you can be mature and take on being a mom.Do what you think your ready for and what will make you happy.

Report as
Well, I dont think he loves you. But I dont think you would be able to see that unless you leave your heart out of everything that is going on and think only with your brain and absolutely no emotions or feelings. If you are so sure that he will respect your decision, then you have nothing to fear when you tell him you dont want to abort. Dont be afraid of loosing him. If you do, its because he is not worthy of having you. You can get to know a person for their fruits, in other words, the way they act and react.

Life is sacred to God, and he views even an embryo as a distinct, living being. About God, King David was inspired to write: “Your eyes saw even the embryo of me.” (Psalm 139:16) God stated that a person would be called to account for injuring an unborn child. So, in his eyes, killing an unborn child is murder.—Exodus 20:13; 21:22, 23.

What, though, if an emergency situation at the time of childbirth forces a couple to choose between letting the mother live and the baby die or vice versa? In that case, the couple would have to decide which life to try to save.

If you're really serious about not having an abortion you can always go full term, deliver the baby and then put it up for adoption. painful as it will be, keeping the baby's best interest at heart is #1. ive known girls who have gotten an abortion because of pressure from others, not fully agreeing but going along with it. they arent the same after.

Im just afraid that if I get it done, and later on in life im not able to have anymore children... then I will hate myself for getting rid of my one chance

you can do an open adoption where the baby is raised by the adoptive family but you still receive information about their development and upbringing and possibly contact with the kid

15? If you were 18 id say keep it. Dont do abortion, give it up for adoption so later you can have the option of having a normal family with a man you meet and love later.

Shoulda wrapped it. If he gets upset, too bad. Abortions are dangerous, and he should've been more careful and wrapped it.

Keep the baby and I advise not seeing him. I suppose you'll have to file for child support. I hope you also stay in school and prepare for the baby.

Keep your baby. Honestly, you're the one who is carrying the baby and will give birth to him/her. If you and your boyfriend were "doing it" and got pregnant by an accident its your boyfriends fault for "doing it" if he doesn't want a child.

When someone has previously said 'Get an abortion' or 'put it up for adoption' you know what you do? You throw that suggestion out the window. You are telling yourself that isn't what you want to do, without realizing it. Your actions & body language *In this case, the way your holding a conversation, tell everyone what is really going on without you having to say. So here is what I am getting from you; Abortion; Your totally against it, and your not even considering (Not a bad thing). Adoption; Your scared you won't be able to have babies later, or what you will regret it. This tells me, that what YOU want, is to keep the baby, but because you don't think you will have support from your family, and because the most significant person to you in this situation (The dad), doesn't support it, you feel as if you are being forced to consider all these options you don't want for yourself.

I suggest talking with parents and close family about your decision. I personally believe abortion is wrong and I would never recommend it to anyone.Abortion is killing an unborn child...there are so many women out there that can not have children so to see someone that can but yet wants to abort it I believe is wrong. Your boyfriend should have used protection. If he would stay with you no matter what he wouldn't mind your decision. If you would change your mind about keeping the baby think about adoption. Don't get me wrong raising a child is hard but if you focus on yourself and the baby and school work etc things are possible for anyone. Do what make you feel right and talk with your parents etc

Women look to abortions for a variety of reasons. Regardless of the situation, the decision to terminate a pregnancy deliberately is not an easy one. It is often intensely painful and there are consequences. Many women who had an induced abortion revealed that they felt bad after the abortion and felt “guilt” over the procedure. Many women felt that they were ‘unable to forgive themselves.’ There are many young women that still have abortions, and they often come under intense pressure to have them. Parents, a mate, or well-meaning friends may encourage abortion but this can lead to a hasty, ill-informed decision. After the procedure have ended, many women often have feelings of pronounced guilt, sadness, and regret.” Many women are angered by grief at the loss of a child, as well as psychological harm of knowing she killed her child is often devastating.The truth is that the unborn child is a living person while in the womb.

From the time of conception in the womb, the child is, not just another part of the mother’s tissue, but a separate person. the Bible describes a human life as existing in the womb. (Psalm 139:16; Job 3:3) Keep in mind that the Bible does not say that a woman conceives a piece of tissue. According to the Bible, a child exists as a person from the time of conception, which is when human life begins.
