I know you think your world is coming to an end, Your frightened and confused. You need to see your local G.P (doctor) as soon as possible miss school anything go see him or her and explain the problem to them. Im going to have a rant and its not to you directly its to all girls aged 11 to 16.

Using drink as an excuse is not going to wash with your parents. Going home and telling them you was drunk will only make matters much worse. Your 15 to them your a child your there little girl and until your 18 u will be.till you have left school and are ready to face the world alone. they will think they need to be there and support you. there only going to chew ya ears of and say

1. You shouldnt be drinkin at all to the extent you cant say no or use protection. Im disgusted with you.

2. You shouldnt be having sex till your 16 anyway do you know how much trouble this lad can be in if his names mentioned for having sex with a minor. He can be sent to prison.

3. Your parents and school will have drilled you since puberty stating about safe sex and not getting pregnant why didnt you use a condom. There free at family planning. Even schools issue them now free.

So there is no excuses you can use that will convince a good parent they have done wrong by you. They want the best for you thats true,But getting pregnant so young is not what they want. Its hard enough to raise a child when your mid 20's not 15. your still a child yourself. Enjoy your childhood dont try to grow up too fast. The years pass so quickly and once them years have gone you cant get them back. Enjoy being a girl and going out with your friends dancing and goin on holiday its too early for you to be up all night and changing nappies every 2 or 3 hours and having a baby crying half the night you need to tend too.

You have no way of rasing a child yourself. so you are bring extra exspence on your parents and its them that will have to raise this child for you because you cant afford too. Clothes food nappies bottles sterilising stuff, cots , push chairs costs £1000's not a couple of hundred quid. A condom is free. So please to you and any other girl reading if you have any sense at all dont let that lad have sex without one.I dont care how much you love him or how bad your crush is.Make him wait or tell him to get lost.If hes the right guy he will wait years for you to have something special. If hes after one thing make him get it else where. Have pride in yourself.

Im a proud father of a 13yr old Daughter. shes not pregnant thank god. but she does talk to me about urges and feelings she gets. I cant stop her having sex when she thinks its right but i can advise her to be safe.

Our bond is like a mother and daughter her mother isnt the understanding type and were no longer married. I love my daughter more for knowing she can talk to me about anything and i wont bite her head off. I wish you the best of luck.If you think your mum will trip out go talk to your dad alone and tell him calm and gently you think your pregnant i made a mistake i need your help. He maybe more understanding than you think. Take care, A concerned reader / Parent..

hello, i'm also 15 and pregnant i'm 7weeks gone, i was so scared of telling my parents, maybe it was a mistake but does that make the baby ? I was so scared of telling my parents but I had to I sat them down and said "mum and dad i know you will be ashamed and dissapointed and i'm sorry but i'm pregnant, yes they was angry but now they are fine with it and i'm really happy they are really supporting me now. If you're not with the father then thats an even better excuse to tell you're parents because no-one else will give you support apart from them. If you want to keep the baby then thats more important because if you stress out to much about telling them then you will lose the baby. It's totally up to you whether keeping the baby if you want to keep it then DO NOT let anybody talk you into having an abortion its you're baby and you're decision, if you dont want to keep the baby DONT let anybody talk you into keeping the baby, its whats best for you at the end of the day. if you want to add me on msn to chat more about it then please do my msn is [email address blocked] i hope this has helped darling x x x love laura

Look. You need to tell your parents. They may be mad at first but they will be there to support you-they're your parents remember. I suggest sitting down with them and talking about it in a mature manner. You didn't say what you want to do with the baby but whatever you want, express this to your parents but take into account what they think you should do. They know best and you are their daughter. Good Luck. XX

being 15 and pregnant is pretty hard. I lost my virginity at 15 and became pregnant when i was 15. The boy i was pregnant to was a Prik. He thort he was a bad boy and seriously had some life issues. All thoug i would love to have a baby i now know i made the right decision having it aborted as i personally dont think i would be able to handle having a baby at the tender age of 16. I know this is selfish but its something you have to think about...you can't go out partying, drinking, on hol wid ya mates you have to stay home and look and care after you baby.

On the other hand if you want to keep your baby and you are thinking of carrying threw the pregnancy, sit your mum or dad down and talk to them..don't hold it back by dropping in random questions like "what would you do if i was pregnant?" because no parent would react to this situation until it actually happend. They might say "oh id kick you out" but at the endof the day a parent is a parent there there to look after us and protect us, if they don't understand then talk to another member of the fam you trust!

hope all goes well. And wel done to all them young mums out there!!!!

I'm 15. Me and my bf had sex 3 months ago for the first time. We thought it was the right time. We have been together since we were 12, so 3 years now, almost 4.

We used protection but the condom split and i'm pregnant. I told my teacher and she supported me all the way.When I finally told my family, they were actually cool about it. They were dissapointed that i was so young, but happy i didnt get pregnant because of some one night stand, and that i'm having it with the person i believe i love, infact know i love, as i have been with Ryan since year 7.

Shortly after finding out i was pregnat ryan proposed to me and we are getting married after GCSE's, in couple of months. Baby should be born right after, great celebratory present!

everythings going really well, no complications so far, but then again it has only been 3 months, lets hope nothing goes wrong in the next 6months. I'm really looking forward to having my own little baby, who i will love and be a really good parent to, i would never think of giving it away or having it aborted, especially after seeing my first scan on monday, can just make out the body of my child. its truely beautiful. my fiance is extremely supportive and so are my family.

my advice to any young mums is, tell your parents if they are decent they will understand and support you but if they arent supportive then tell 'em to "eff off" and tell them that its your life and the child that you will bring into the world will make then smile and make them happy aswell as making you happy.

anywayz that is all for now i gess thanks for listening.:)

oh and also the stories above are VERY helful thank you.. but also one more thing i know im 15 and im not the most responsible of not protecting.. but i think 11 years old you should even be knowing what a condom is .. anywayz thanks for the attention#

I think im pregnant to but I'm not sure! I haven't started my period in almost one month after the expecting month! I took a pregnancy test and it was negative but I'm still scared and I don't know what to do! I'm sick like dizzy and I don't know whats wrong! My mother and father are jackasses and would never understand! and my boyfriend the one who "knocked me up" says I should get an abortion but I don't believe in them, I've been looking at adoption and I think I'm going to do that instead of keeping it!

I think you should have the baby and if you want it keep it but if you can't take care of it just give it away to an adoption center! Your parents will hopefully understand, and if they don't then I don't know what to say! I'm sorry if I'm no help! but that's what I think!

Hi. I'm 16 and I think I may be pregnant. I had sex on dec 21. And I should have started my period the 25th or something. It is jan 7th and I still haven't started. I'm pretty sure I am pregnant. And I'm so scared. My sister is 21 and just had her baby on christmas. My family always looked at me as the better daughter. Getting good grades and whatnot. My sister was into drugs and everything. But I'm the good one. I had sex with my boyfriend feb 2007. And I had to move. I haven't had sex with anyone since then. Although people have tried. But this boy. Wow I'm so in love its unbelievable. I knew he wanted to and I let him. Now I know it was a very dumb decision. He didn't force me or anything, but I just wanted to do what he wanted. I told him that I was scared about thiss. And he said I'm just over reacting and I'm not pregnant. But idk I just have a gut feeling that I am. I'm supposed to take a test soon. But its still unral that I'm online posting somethinglike this. I cannot tell my parents. My stepdad and my mom are always areguing about me. And how I'm gone all the time. He always puts me down and my mom always shoots me up like I am this perfect child. Wow I just can't let her down. I'm so scared. I'm thinking of everything. I'm thinking I should just take like 6 ecstasy pills and die. If my boyfriend adams family find out his life is ruined. He's this gorgeous boy with this perfect family, he has good grades and knows what he's doing in life. I'd rather just comit suicide so I don't ruin his life and be miserable. He says he will be there for me all the way. We can't afford an abbortion and I'm scared if I get an abortion the might tell my parents. Please help me.. [email address blocked]

My mom soon sat down to chat with me about my wight. I eventully told her about 3-4 months into it and she had guessed that i was. She said that I WASN'T getting an abortion and I was having her grandkid. She told my dad and he left. My mom and sister were really great and bought my baby twins everything they needed. It was hard to tell her but especially when I had two 1 boy called Jake and 1 girl called Milee they are now 4 and are almost ready to start skl i am now 17 and i have met lots of people who were like me!!

I also got pregnant at 15 while my boyfriend was 16. I knew I couldn't take care of my baby so I got an abortion. If you feel this is wrong there are other options. You could give the baby to an orphanage or even keep him/her. Although this may be extremely hard on average a baby cost $785 a month. I'm srry to tell you I don't think there is a way to keep this from your parents, they may be mad but I'm sure they'll understand.

I am pregnant at 15, only 4 weeks, my period is over a week late not normal for me. i am terrified, my aunt had a baby at 15 but times were different, she was sent to a place for unmarried mothers and forced to give her baby up for adoption. I don't think she would choose this now as she dosn't ever talk about it. I met a boy on holiday we got on very well, we did use protection but it broke so we then didn't as we only had 1. I cannot decide what to do, my friends tell me that this early on you can have a jag and that gets rid of it, reading all the comments, i would keep it but i am unsure how my mum wil react, i have an older sister and she has never got herself into this, they are constantly comparing us and it makes me mad because we are so different. I totaly understand what she is going through and i wish i knew how my mum would react, i am not scared of gettin chucked out but my mum has always said that if i ever went 'off the rails' she would move me away from my friends that is what i am most scared of as they mean the world to me xox

Andy00 agony auntI'm afraid you're very wrong when you say you "can't" tell your parents, because that isn't true, and not telling them isn't going to help your situation. What is worse: Being honest, or waiting until they tell you that they think you're getting fat?

Your parents may be disappointed, but atleast they will be able to guide you on what to do next. The aftermath may mean that they keep you on a shorter leash, but maybe that's what you need right now. You obviously don't have a lot of control of yourself when you're drunk. If you want to avoid getting into this mess again then perhapps you need your parents to watch you a little more closely.

Don't worry and calm down first tell your parents they r bound 2 find out anyway so just get it over with. they r goin to b shocked at first but their love for you is unconditional so they are gonna help you get through this then your gonna have 2 sit down and have a long think about what your gonna do about it if the father doesn't know tell him and if he doesn't want 2 know then your better of without him. this baby will mean more 2 u than any thing else in the world. i know what i'm talking about as i had a baby at 14 i didn't tell my parents untill 3 months before i had her and when the father found out he dumped me for another girl and sed that he didn't want a 'silly' kid on his hands. we were both silly kids but now at 16 about to turn 17 i love my little brandy 2 bits and don't regret anything except i wish i could have waited until i was a bit older to have her as it would have been easier but theres no use looking back so down take any abuse from any one keep your chin up and walk tall.

just explain and dont say sorry as its a baby not a crime. dont worry there are plenty of other girls at your age you just need to know if your ready.

just sit your parents down and break the news to them or tell a friend or family member do not worry yourself be strong for your baby.

Hi, I am 15 and I have a 5 month old son. I was horrified to tell my mom and my dad even worse. Eventually when I was almost 4 months I told my mom, she was very upset and disappointed in my decisions in life. Eventually she was okay with the situation and respected my decision. When he was born she was so excited she cried and she loves him somuch and now I am 7 weeks pregnant, I'm with my first baby's daddy, still my mom is excited and my boyfriend and I are moving into our own apartment. I think you whould tell your parents what happened and maybe they will understand. You will enjoy being a mother, but there's those really hard times. Good luck.

Take a look at some abortioned babys on teh internet. You dont want your on child going thru that. Im having a lil girl. And that baby is my world. Me n her daddy are still together and that helps a lot. but please consider all options

I am 15 and I also think I may be pregnant, I am on birth control but i have been missing pills and having sex with my boyfriend without a comdom.

I think you should get an abortion.... if you keep the baby it will ruin your life and it willtake away the rest of the little childhood you have left.. it will be hard but it has to be done.

If you cant tell your parents.. then you still have many choices to get rid of the baby without them knowing!!

1. Most doctors will tell the parents, but it is not illegal for them to NOT!!, if they see you aremature enough to handle the situation without your parents, they will support your wishes.

2. If you have the money for an abortion, and if you have an older brother, sister, auntie, uncle, granpa, or grandma that wouldnt blow your secret they may take you to get it done,

3. I live in Austraila and in some hospitals here underage girls can get abortions for FREE!, if u go to the right hospital and have someone over 18 they can do it for free. Especially if u r a student, have a madicare card or have private health insurance.

Also i would like to say dont rush into anything!!! It may not feel like it but if you get it done u will need councilling and family support.
