Being a teen mother is not fun!!!! i got pregnant at 17 with my boyfriend of two years. I had to walk to doctors appointments, go to school full time, work part time, and still deal with all of my changing emotions, Plus i had to give up full scholarships, and countless opertunities. The father starting becoming abusive, and i had to live in a battered womens shelter at the age of 19. I live alone now and work my ass off to support my son, but i have no friends,i never get to go out, and no extra money at all. I dont even know who I am, other than a mother, and a provider. Even though i love my son more than anything, I wish i had been more cautious. Its very hard, and it doesnt get any easier!!!!
He wouldn’t stay just because you were pregnant. When i told my sons father i was pregnant, he told me the only way he’d stay with me was if i had an abortion. I kept the baby, and he started abusing me. I was 17.
sometimes, i wish i was pregnant so i don’t have to deal with the pressure of college…so i could have a reason to drop out. i know its stupid, but sometimes my mind wanders off..i stay on birth control so i won’t regret it.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. When I was 15 years old, I was against the idea of sex before marriage and I thought all girls my age having sex and getting pregnant were whores. I grew up a a lot since then and I realize that pregnancy and sex are natural things. I am 19 years old and I may be pregnant as we speak and my boyfriend, who I have been with for 5 years now and am deeply in love with, and I have talked about what would happen if I did get pregnant. We are engaged we know we love each other and want children some day. But we are both in college right now and the idea of having a child together is scary. We aren’t going to be living together until next summer either. However we have both acknowledged that if it was with anyone else we would choose abortion or adoption. However, that is if it was anyone else. We are in love and just the THOUGHT of giving away something your created out of love is hard to think of. You have a lot of growing up to do and some day probably in a year or two you will realize all of this. Especially once you fall in love and start having sex. You are NOT a whore for simply WANTING something. Especially something so precious and beautiful. Hopefully you will stop being so narrow minded some day.
I know a guy (who is just a friend) who loves the idea of having a child. He and I have talked about how we both want a child right now and I have seriously considered it even though I don’t actually have feelings for him (but he has loved me for 4 years).
@shorty I know how you feel. College is ridiculously time consuming and it’s leaving me tired, frustrated, and unhappy. Sometimes I joke around with my friends threatening to ‘catch a pregnancy’, but other times I feel like that is actually an option. I’m very overwhelmed right now but I know that I can make it through, I just need some time and understanding. I feel I’ve gotten some of that from you. So thank you. And thanks to all the people who commented and continue to comment on this thread. I look forward to reading the responses when I sign into my email. Best of luck!
I do too, and I’m 14. I wish I had a little baby girl of my own. I used to get depressed when I saw expecting mothers or just mothers. All I could think is… I wish I was old enough…
I know how you feel. Since my family fell apart a few years ago (my mom died at 10 and my sister was kicked out 6 months later) I SO DESPERATELY want to have a family of my own asap. But I know I wont do it.
i know what r you thinking but please stop your mind for a minute i was 16 when i have my daughter and she is 20 she is the most beautifull human creature i ever seen i dont regreted at all i wont have a soon doctor to be in a mexican family she came in my belly i was 8 motnhs pregnant and scare
i walk the desert with her in my belly 15 days later she was born in this beautyful country.
please dont think just assume responsabilitites ‘she’ or ‘he’ will be proud of you.
God Loves you

Same here. I even told my mom I would get pregnant to get out of school. It worked. I feel bad but even when being home schooled I have the pining to be a teen mom.
i can believe you just said that. ‘being mm just forced for others human been’ who in the hell do you think you are to tell a little person not to come to this world.
only for your irresponsabilities did you think in using something when you were doing something calling sex a your age.
adolecense (onsense)
this is what the excuse Doctors who kille babies go to wwww.prolife.com
and see what you just did see if you can bare see if you can watched that means your are ready to kill your babie because is what yur doing.
sorry for been so hard but i dont whan you to feel how my friends feel
lorena.

Abortion means cleaning the lining of the uterus???
but who is going to clean your spirit and your mind o i know maybe some drugs and some alcohol yeaah right.
ABORTION IS KILLING A BABIE AND EGG WEREVER you wan to call it
sounds so nice
so you wont eat meat because you dont want to kill a pig or a cow o maybe a chicken or eggs because your feel bad about
but CLEANING YOU UTERUS is pro choice whos body your think it is yours??? SORRY IT is NOT it is God. so why do you think you have permission to kill other wonderfull human been like you.
think twice before you said it is your body and your life
what about the zigote life do you know that everythings stars on the conception day.
maybe you need to go to http://www.prolife.org and cheked how they clean
the uterus.
good luck on watching this video
God bless your heart and change your mind and if you already do it i will pray for you tonigh so you can forgive your self:)
LORENA
Oh lorena, lorena. Don’t shove your RELIGIOUS BULLSHIT DOWN MY THROAT. I don’t BELIEVE IN GOD.
It’s my body not some invisible mans
One more thing. I would rather give my first child a wonderful life. Instead of living in a slum and being on welfare cause I listen to THEM JESUS.
Grow up and stop praying to air. God is such bull, if he really loved you, he’d give you the right to your own body.
I don’t have to forgive myself, I’ve done nothing wrong. In fact i have enjoy some sweet sweet loving.
Yum, Pre-marriage sex is so hot, you know?
I’m not watching the video. Just like you didn’t watch mine.
“In the first trimester, usually 6 to 13 weeks, vacuum aspiration is the procedure used to empty the uterus. This traditional first trimester abortion involves three main steps: (1) an injection to numb the cervix, (2) insertion of a soft flexible tube through the cervix into the uterus, (3) suction created by an aspirating machine to remove the pregnancy from the uterus. It is done in an outpatient clinic, doctor’s office or hospital and takes less than five minutes to complete the actual procedure.”
That my dear friend is pure truth. Wake up honey before it’s too late.
GOD DOESN’T LOVE YOU ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU THE RIGHTS TO YOUR OWN BODY.
Sometimes I think my parents want me to have a baby more than I do. And sometimes I think I’ll give it to them because otherwise they’ll die before I have children the ‘proper’ way.
I understand. I mean, I can’t say I would want to have a baby at this age, 17, but children is a definite!
Even though it’s your body, you have to think about it. What I don’t understand is how killing a person in cold blood and abortion is different? I would love it if someone would tell me without saying “it’s not a baby till so and so time”.
Then maybe I’ll listen.
I personally, would rather my child (if necessary) be killed while it can still hardly feel much than live a cold, dark, poor, most likely abusive life. (This is like worse case scenario)
I’d rather children be given the chance to live properly, I’m sure they would’ve wished they were aborted if their drunken teen dad beat them…
But that’s only worse case. I think people that get them just for the sake of getting them is ridiculous. Get on birth control or shut your legs.
I know how you feel exactly. 7 months ago I got pregnant (I’m nearly 17) and I had an abortion. At first i was numb, but now I feel it all. Don’t let anyone criticize you, or judge you or try to tell you what to do – fuck em! It’s your body, it’s your life.
I did want a child… I think. I wasn’t completely sure. Now I long to be pregnant again – “Replacement Baby Syndrome”… But I KNOW it’s not the right time. I KNOW it is a huge responsibility.
I think of all the kids out there… All the abandoned, unwanted, unloved kids and think to myself, do I really want to bring another less fortunate child into the world? No i don’t. I want to have money and a stable home before I have kids…
It’s a strong urge I know, but I believe it’ll pass. I hope it will pass… I’m not trying to sway how you feel, but once you realize that YOU ARE PREGNANT your entire view on life changes, everything changes… Another life is growing inside of you.
It wasn’t right FOR ME but it might be for others… Just sharing my experience.
Same here. I’m fifteen and really want to have a baby. However, I also want to go to a different college and travel Europe and have a job. I guess I just want to have my cake and eat it :/
It’s amazing how many people feel this way. I had no idea. I desperately wanted to get pregnant in high school. I was so sad when I thought I might be and then wasn’t. But now I’m 21 and getting married next year and I’m glad I have the chance to plan my family rather than expecting my husband to deal with the baby daddy if he was in the picture or raise someone else’s child if he wasn’t or maybe I wouldn’t be getting married at all because it’s a lot harder to date when you have a child. Or I’d be married to my high school boyfriend who ended up cheating and pushing me around.
LOTS of reasons I’m glad that I didn’t have a baby as a teenager.
I got my girlfriend pregnant when she was 15 and I was 16. I’m 17 now and proud to say we have two wonderful kids Savannah and Micheal. She’s expecting her third. She wants to get an abortion but why? If you want too be pregnant as a teen thats YOUR decision. Not anyone that posts comments on here. Yes kids are a big responsability but they bring joy into your life. And if you can’t take care of the kid financially then either A. dont get pregnanat or B. put them up for adoption. I live in California and I was adopted. My real parents live in Texas I can see them whenever I want to! You can have a closed adoption or an open adoption either way it works! And even though its hard to put the kid up for adoption they’ll be put into a stable home and they’ll be happy knowing that the woman who gave birth to them saved their life when she could have taken it away. I’m not trying to change anyone’s view i’m just saying that what i’ve been through yeah raising kids is hard and so is putting them up for adoption. My sister got an abortion when she was 15. She’s 25 now and she still wants a baby but she’s single. An abortion can help some people and hurt others. Again not trying to change anyone’s view I just thought all of you should know.
I’m 19. I’ve had a burning desire to be pregnant for as long as I’ve been in my teens. At 16, I had a miscarriage. It haunts me every day. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about that baby I lost. I always thought I was the only one who wanted a baby as a teenager. It feels like a twisted and warped way to live. The only thing keeping me from it is AFROTC. People say to follow your dreams. Make them happen. I say, college is something I’m doing to pass the time before that time comes. For me, its here. I just don’t want to be judged by anyone else. ROTC is the only thing I want enough to keep me motivated. So all you girls are not alone and it’s nice knowing someone else out there feels the same way.
I’m 16 and I would want to have kids at one point maybe.
But you’re still a child. Enjoy being a teenager when you can. A baby would make that so difficult.
I do this all the time.
Sometimes I dream that I’m pregnant and I wake up and cry because I’m so happy and I felt so complete. Then I cry because the only way that I’m pregnant is through immaculate conception.
I can’t wait to have kids.
i think it’s pretty shameful that there are girls on here talking about how hard college is and that they rather be pregnant so they can drop out. be fucking grateful that you get to go to college (and have it paid for by mommy and daddy, I’m willing to bet) because not all of us get to. I could only afford to go for a 1 year course and I am in debt up to my eyeballs. I would give anything to be able to go back. school was an amazing experience and it’s just fucking awful that there are people out there who would rather deal with the responsibility of someone else’s life that never ends, btw, than 4 little years of school. hang your heads!
PLEASE WAIT!!!! I came from a broken home and couldn’t wait to have my own loving family. I was 19 when I had my son and even though his father and I are happily married and have also had a beautiful daughter, we have had a terrible struggle to get where we are today and the struggle isn’t over. Having a baby is a lot of work and most guys won’t stick around to help. It gets lonely and stressful. I beg you to wait and enjoy your youth!!!!!
Being a teen mother is not fun!!!! i got pregnant at 17 with my boyfriend of two years. I had to walk to doctors appointments, go to school full time, work part time, and still deal with all of my changing emotions, Plus i had to give up full scholarships, and countless opertunities.

It doesnt take guts to have sex, it takes lack of self control at your age. It’s much better to wait. So much better.
wow..
tell me how you really feel!!
get the f**k over yourself!!
expressing a feeling is not the same as doing it.
BABIES ARE NOT PUPPIES, CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF.
i felt the same way……until I accidently became pregnant at 14. trust me, it is not a life you want for your child or yourself.
i want that more than anything…
sometimes, i wish i was pregnant so i don’t have to deal with the pressure of college…so i could have a reason to drop out. i know its stupid, but sometimes my mind wanders off..i stay on birth control so i won’t regret it.

me too… So much I’ve even been thinking on getting pregnant by “accident” by not taking my pill, but NO!
@shorty I know how you feel. College is ridiculously time consuming and it’s leaving me tired, frustrated, and unhappy.

that’s crazy talk! =) now that we’re done being condescending i think it’d be much appreciated if you didn’t act like we’re all stupid.

Did you know that abortion is nothing but sucking out the lining of your uterus. If abortion is so horrible. Don’t eat anymore eggs kay?

About the abortion thing, how about this.

But that’s only worse case. I think people that get them just for the sake of getting them is ridiculous. Get on birth control or shut your legs.
same here.
obviously, when i think about all the work and pain and sacrifices and responsibility involved, i know that i don’t want those things.
i kind of think i just want the pregnancy part.
I’m 16, i have a longing to be a teen mother too.
The people that know think I’m sick.
But atleast I know that i’m not the only one.
same here. i think about who i’d want the dad to be all the time and it keeps pointing back to a 24 year old….im 16.
I feel exactly the same, I am looking forward so much to having children. Too bad I’m still alone I guess.
I know how you feel exactly. 7 months ago I got pregnant (I’m nearly 17) and I had an abortion. At first i was numb, but now I feel it all. Don’t let anyone criticize you, or judge you or try to tell you what to do – fuck em! It’s your body, it’s your life.

Whenever you have your child,
you’ll be a wonderful mother.
Whether now is the right time or not.
Chin up.
Last time I checked, there was this thing called an Adoption agency, Madison.
Lol. It’s like I can hear you telling yourself no.
You’re a strong woman.
That’s what you are.
1. A baby will love you back. An angst-filled teenager who resents his mother for never providing properly may not.
2. If you can’t spell ‘two’, you don’t need to have a child.
3. You’re FOURTEEN!? Are you effing CRAZY?
…
i feel this is also mentally unhealthy.
this is exactly how i feel.
Same here. I’m fifteen and really want to have a baby. However, I also want to go to a different college and travel Europe and have a job. I guess I just want to have my cake and eat it :/
