salvadda agony auntI hope your baby is a healthy child. It is not too late to go and see if you can find some parenting classes. I also hope you take the time to talk with your doctor and mother regarding some kind of birth control it is for your protection, and best interest. I do wish you the best of luck...

Take care and good luck

Just a final thought, your story provoked a lot of emotions in me - both good and bad and I felt compelled to write you a response. I hope you find the solution to this.

I do believe your parents may have failed you somewhere along the way, whether in a blatantly obvious way or not but now is no time for blame. Look after your beautiful babies, good luck with the pregnancy and protect yourself because they need their mummy.

Good luck x

salvadda agony auntI'm very glad you have family behind you. It will also teach you to be close/help to your family in the future. I wouldn't give too much mind about others in here that put you down. They don't have the courage to sign their name. This comes from a lack of understanding. Believe me everyone has done things that they are not proud of, myself included. As I said don't allow yourself to get lost in negitive feedback, it will only set your mind back. Try to move forward.

I will say though with all due respect please try to get some kind of conselling for yourself. Your parents are there for you and I'm sure they will be there for you in your time of healing/finding yourself. It is *never* too late to change. As I said there is no shame in trying to seek/heal yourself.

Again I wish you and your family the best of luck.

where is your mother. 14 years old with a newborn and one on the way. 30 men and your only that young. you need to get serious help before you give birth to the second child. because if you don't by the time you are 20 you will have about 10 kids. i have only had sex with 3 different men in my life and i was married to one and engaged to one. and madly in love with my current boyfriend.

i have two kids and i am alot older than you are. You have no idea what it is about to raise one child let alone two. i am not saying get an abortion. i don't believe in that. you need to forget me and now concentrate on these children that deserve to have a good life and get an education. how you are going to do that i hope you have an answer. and its hard to get a good paying job with no education. OMG 30 men. i can't believe that.

You really need to seek some sort of help first to learn where AIDS comes from along with other STDs and also where innocent children come from. I would consider adoption to a family that can care for these children at least until you get older. If your family is around to help you raise them. THEN WHERE WERE THEY WHEN YOU WERE HAVING SEX WITH 30 MEN.

I would literally flip out if my daughter came up in this situation. I am not judging you but honey please get help. You are to young for this.

salvadda agony auntI am very glad that your mom is supporting you. She will be a good person to lean on. I know your babies are very lucky to have a mom who is caring, and a grandmother who loves you all.

I do hope you will seek some counselling. It will also help your children

good luck

salvadda agony auntI read you, and I feel this is a very serious fact of your life. There is no need to feel embarrassed, bad, shame, etc. There are many people such as you. Don't let negitive feelings get in your way. What is done is done. I don't think anything bad of you, more so am glad you have asked for help, of which I believe you need.

I am to believe you live at home. It is a hard thing to live with, within yourself as it is. I am sure you have been through a lot and now is not the time to add any more stress to your life. Above all please try not to blame yourself. I feel for you and know that it is a burden for you to carry such feelings.

I will try to give you some advice with your best interest at heart. I have had one dealing with someone such as yourself in the past.

I feel for you the first step is to find someone to talk with. This is the most important thing you do for yourself, your child, the one on the way, and also your family. You must be going to doc, so I will strongly suggest you speak to him/her and ask if he/she can find a consellor for you to connect with. I can not stress how important this is.

What ever your reasons are for how you are feeling it can/will be sorted out. Only with your help co-operation can you begin to heal within yourself. There are groups you can also seek out with people in your situation also. This might help you to understand and above all know that you are not alone.

I can not nor will I state what I believe your problem is because I don't know you. This is something that will/may take a long time to sort out. There is no sense in yourself trying to figure it out on your own as you will not be able to see yourself in a true/just way. I am sure you yourself are hard on yourself as it is. If people try to tell you what your problem please don't take it to heart. Some might say things to you such as maybe you are a nympohmanic, you may have issues with men, it comes from abuse and so on. You and only you know the truth. Why in my opinion it is *VERY* important that you make an effort to go and get help...*seek counselling*

Right not it is not important what you have done in the past. It is *VERY* improtant how to deal with it. Which is why I strongly suggest you seek real help. I know this will be hard on you. I also hope you have someone you can trust/support you, such as a family member, or a friend. You will need someone to talk with outside of your counselling also. You can bring this person with you if you like. It is very hard to go it alone, with a child and another one on the way.

About the child you have on the way. Your age worries me. I don't know where you live or what kind of laws there are there. In Canada, here if you are a minor the choice would be up to the parents. Also I want to add, the men would be charged with rape here. I am sure you do not need to hear this. I want you to know that men have responsiblies also. You can by law get the man to help you raise your child/children. I know by what you wrote it is hard for you with so many partners as you said. Anyway I don't want to get off the subject. The best I can suggest to you right here is to please get some birth control. You do not need to have any more children..*not now* not until you have sorted yourself out.

I will however give you something to think about regarding giving your child up. This also is not something you should do without talking with a consellor. I don't know what kind of support you have now rasing your child. If you do give your child up, you might feel bad about it in the furture. It is a very hard thing for a mother to do of any age, let alone a very young woman like yourself. It might effect you in the long run, so please speak to someone about this first of all. This is something that only you have the answer too.

I would like to say something to you before I close. Please don't let ppl get you down. It is very hard on any person, but you are so very young. People can be cruel, not understand but rather judge. You are worth while, and know that you are good person. You are in situation that you have no control over. With help you will be able to come to understand yourself. You will with help be able to over come things that draw you into the life style that you have now. You are *NOT* hopless. Don't abandon youself. There is a remedy for you, you need search for it through conselling.

I hope my suggestions have given you some hope, for that is all I wanted to send to you to. I will pray for you, and hope that you will find some comfort and hope in what I have sent to you in here. I wish nothing but good things for you..........*hugs*

good luck & take care

DrPsych agony auntI don't think anyone can tell you what to do about the pregnancy except you! Being a parent is hard-work as you now know from having one little one in the world. I commend you for having the courage to take on parenthood at such a young age, but I think now you are pregnant for a second time you definitely need to take stock of your life. Telling me you have slept with 30 people at your age tells me you are very unhappy and have little self confidence. I think you need to see your GP and ask for specialist counselling to overcome your personal issues. This is not because I think you are mad or bad, I just think you have been victimised by men and need to learn new ways of handling situations of a sexual nature so you can put your needs first - contraception, consent etc. I think you also need a referral to teenage support services from your midwife as parenting two infants is going to be tough! You need to maintain your education for yourself and the financial future of your family.

I really wanna ask u if u have help from ur parents.if u have a lot of support and can finish high school then maybe u should keep it. But ur so young I don't think its best for u right now.

I think u should focus on doing ur best as a parent and try and save ur self until ur in love. U can change and I think u should set goals for ur self. Like no sex until ur in a serious relationship. Because this will happen again. And that's not right for ur child or the babys inside. Ur past is the past and even if its still ur present u can do better with ur life.

U can do whatever u put ur mind to. And finishing school should be one of them.

I really want u to save the sex for someone u lobe instead of giving it to guys who only want sex. I'm here ok but I don't think ur ready for a baby
