Miamine agony auntDrama!!!! Sigh!! Having a baby will stop all that, you won't have time for friends let alone the drama they create. A baby is a 24hour job, if you keep the child, expect to be working long hours(night time feeds, nappy changing, cleaning baby, washing clothes etc) and feeling very lonely for a while.

Your choice, but please contact planned parenthood, Laura has given you the number. They can help you make the best decision for you. A baby might not suit your situation right now.

kayla20 agony auntdoes your boyfriend want the baby?you need to tell your mother that you are having second thoughts about abortion however i think your too young to be able to stick to your own decision because you are not yet classed as an adult as such i think your mother has the right to decide for you.you need to explain to your mother that although you have made a mistake you would rather deal with it than take the easy option out with abortion you need to make her understand that you dont think its going to be an easy ride and you know it is going to be very difficult and make her aware that you and your boyfriend might not last but you dont want to put your bf through an abortion and kill something which didnt ask to be here in the first place.you will have to understand that if your mum agrees to you keeping the child that schooling could be difficult for you as yourl have to take responsibility for the child and not palm it off on your mother and that other children in the school may pick on you because of your age good luck

A female reader, anonymous, writes (18 March 2010):

If you want to keep your baby then I urge you to keep your baby. I'm 20 and just recently had a baby. I've also had an abortion and it was the most painful thing, both physically and mentally. I still get sad about it. Having a baby is no cake walk, and is even harder to do while you are still in school.( But totally worth it! My baby just started to really smile, its the cutest thing ever! But be warned unless ur bf is there with u around the clock, you may not get much sleep lol) My advice to you is when you hit your thrid trimester at seven or eight months see if you can get into the independant studies program. You only have to go to school at the very most three times a week, but only for maybe 4 or 5 hours. They send you home with all your school work for the week. It just makes it a lot easier during your pregnancy and after you have your baby. I hope that helps you :)

If you want to keep the baby, then keep it. However, it's not as easy as you think it is, there's A LOT more to it than falling into drama that comes with parenthood. And yes, please stay in school because it's called peer pressure and I won't get into the other grammatical errors as this isn't an English class...but do what you can to become a good example for your child. It sounds like you're on your way or at least trying.

If you want to keep the baby, you need to tell your mother this ASAP so you can start getting the proper prenatal care. It's going to be tough and you're going to have to grow up fast, so you may as well start acting like an adult now and start planning how you are going to go to school, work and support an infant.
