Well the least i can say iz to not be hurt about sumthing like that. I mean, I wish i was a mother and im only 17. But if i was a mother and had a 18 year old daughter i would be sumwhat upset because a baby iz a whole lot of responsibility. You shuld be happy to bring new life in the world, especially if it iz yourz. If you have a job, your responsible, trusted to be a great mother, and have a great man with a job, then it shuld'nt be a problem for you. Itz not a problem for an 18 year old to get pregnant at that age. Itz very common and perfectly normal. So dont strezz or worry about anything. Your lucky to be pregnant Cuz i wish i wuz. My Boy cant plant me with a baby cuz he lost that liability

use better condoms.

KEEP THE KID....
IF ITS A HE..WELL HE'S GONNA BE MORE PROUDE TO HAVE A HOT MOM..ALL HIS LITTLE FRIENDS ARE GONNA WANNA COME OVER EVERDAY AND WANT MOM'S COMPANY..lol..

Give it up for adoption rather than abort.
My personal views on abortion are very very negative, but I won't make you feel bad by saying what I think of that personl act.

I was adopted, and I know some things about my birthparents. She had interviewed my parents before she had decided from a few couples using private adoption agency. I am happy. My birthmother may still think of me now and then, but she might feel worse if she had killed me.

Years ago, I too had condoms breaking on me and couldn't understand why but finally learned what was causing it. It was not the condoms being defective but the lubricant I used on them. If you use latex condoms, which most people do, you CANNOT use a petroleum lubricant on the condom. You must use a water based lubricant only, such as KY. Petroleum lubricants will break down the latex and cause them to break.

As to whether to have an abortion or not to have an abortion, that is your decision to make, not others. You are now an adult.

People are not all the same and should not be judged this way but unfortunately the public likes to interfere in private issues and tell us what to do. From what I have observed over the years, the torment of giving up a child for adoption is far worse than the guilt a woman may endure for having had an abortion. There is a right time and right place for everything, rasing a child at age 18 is the wrong time.

I think a little guilt is not much to pay for not killing your own kid.

try falling down some stairs

LMAO CABINET I WILL FEEL SRY FOR WJEN YOU HAVE A KID

Hi there. Do not listen to any of these konservative religious fools writing stupid and abusive comments for you. Especially STARGIRL.
You are born in a country where you do not have free abortion. Just like in the middle ages. I live in scandinavia where every person is independent and free. You have already made your decision. You do NOT want this child. And why should you then? Because of the norms in your society? forget the norms, forget society and focus on what YOU want. And it is not yet a child. Just an egg and a sperm cell. So do not feel regrets over this. You only live once, so don't do something that will stop your life from as it is now. And to stargirls catholic comment. You are seriously not too bright. What is your IQ? 15? You pretend to be the voice of God and that itself is a huge sin. Your sin is PRIDE! And according to your own religion that will send you straight to hell. So do not judge upon others and act as if you are a better person than the people around you. Clearly that act shows that you are the opposite. You have failed in your own catholic religion. Enjoy hell. If you truly are a catholic you truly are a sinner. And yes I know what I am talking about. I have a university degree in science of religion

hahaha. You are just as bad. Where are you from WHY WACO? Americans are so religious. You are true fundamentalists. And you don't even know it. Here is a girl with a serious question, and you chose to give her an answer like this? Makes me think that whatever you people believe in is not something about love and forgiveness. I would think it was some kind of evil cult, and not christianity. You have truly misunderstood the true meanings of Christ.

and th comment above was to SHAVEMESLOWLY.
He must be someone from the movie Deliverance. THat is how primitive and stupid nobrain he sounds like being.

O.K having a baby at 18 is not the end of the world. I had my first child at 14 and ill admit it wasnt a bed of roses but i wouldnt change it for the world. Her parents werent too bad when she told them. Aside from the obvious disappointment they were very supportive. Especially as they could see that she was so messed up about it. She spoke to a teacher who then came with us to inform her mother. Im not sure if youre still at school but maybe you have a youth leader or someone that could do the same for you. If not, when you do tell them, dont do it alone if theres not an adult to help take your best friend. I think that telling your parents would be the best move you can make here. They are a great source of advice as is your doctor who would treat the whole thing confidentially.

My partner and I also had an abortion a few years ago now and its something that she never really got over. We had our second and third child very close together and then fell pregnant straight afterwards. Abortion was the only practical option but she says that not a day goes by that she doesnt imagine what could have been. Im not Anti-Abortion at all, i just think you need to know the facts. As chili said you should focus on what YOU want. Dont let the whole pro-life debate make you make a decision that you have to live with for the rest of your life. At the end of the day its YOU that has to live with this decision, not some lesbian hippy waving a placard on NBC.

Talk to your parents, talk to your doctor but remember; Having a baby is not the end of your life, just the begining of a new one.

give your baby to a nice family but keep in touch every week....and only people yo chocies tell will know about it

my sis is pregnant and shes 12

Your sister is gross

I don't know why you're asking folks? The way the laws are, do whatever you want. No one can stop you. Leave it on a porch, abort it, have it , put it up for adoption, sell it, wait until it's almost born and kill it, have someone kick you (na "they'll" go to jail)Drink with it, smoke, smoke crack, shoot up, do meth. party, play football. It's all about "YOUR" body and what "YOU" want; right? Why are "you" asking anyone?

I think its selfish to abort. I think it is especially despicable and disgusting to abort after the first trimester. The only exeption would be if the mother's life is at risk.

I think giving a kid up for adoption is incredibly noble. Shit happens, but its how you deal with the shit that forms your value.

Thats my opinion, and many woman disagree. Too bad.

Well, I WAS pregnant at age 18, some 40 years ago. I chose an abortion because I was not very immature,clinically depressed, and the father decided to pursue a relationship with another woman. Also, my parents recommended this course of action.

Because I was nearly 12 weeks pregnant when the abortion was performed, I've carried a huge burden of guilt over it. It's obviously very tough giving up a baby for adoption, but I don't think it's a lot easier getting rid of the life that is growing in your own body.

I can't say that I really know what is right for you as it depends a great deal upon the nature of your relationship with your boyfriend and parents, your present physical and mental health, and your own philosophical views on when life begins. I wouldn't dream of urging anyone to bear a child if they had considered all of the options and had selected abortion as the best course of action. I would only say, look at the big picture before you decide. Whatever your decision, you will have to live with it for the rest of your life.

hehehe... do not worry, girl. My best friend is a "lover child" as they are named.
His mother became pregnant on the age of 18(broken condom. lol)
now they have a big house. ps3, crystal glasses, big tv, High paid jobs(both mother and father)
My friend also have a sister.
support from the family and ur boyfriend and all CAN be good if you take the correct steps.
some girl living near to me got preg as 13 and held it a secret until it was to late to take abortion. So long you do it right then it can be fine. :) But support is important.
My friend is happy that his mother did not choose abortion. Every thing is fine to his family. heck... his house is almost better than mine :D Let the child be born as long as you have support. u are 18 and that is the age when things can go allright for you.

ROAST IN H E LL B^TCH IF YOU KILLED THAT KID

find a surrogate family... they pay you to give them the baby.... if you meet their standards and health expectations. It also helps if you and your baby daddy have good genes. adoption, coat hanger,idk.

fo' shizzle?

yes, also, i know someone that has had abortions and she says they arent bad. But look in the paper for it, or in the back of cosmo.... it says something like looking for a solution for your little one. dont have a dumpster baby..... at least abort it if you cant care for it
