pregnant at 17!

[pregnant-s]

im 17 and 8 weeks pregnant.
i want to keep it but i have doubts now and then about having a abortion because the babys father isnt around and i dont have a job or anything but i do have a really surportive family.but they just say its your choice,which is the only thing they can say really has anyone else had trouble trying to decide this? and what did you do?

Stop leaving messages on my questions because all you keep doing is saying in like every other 17 year old well i aint.and whats with the whole brittney thing! look you may think im a immature kid but i aint.and tbh your opions are not helpful just nasty so i would perfer it if u didnt write on my question anymore ive seen a few other posts where u have taken the mick out of ppl for example the girl who asked if a tatto hurt she spelt surname from and you didnt just tell her you basically mocked her.

also just because im a single mum does not mean my child do crime.i havent judged u so dont judge me.end of

[pregnant--]

hes really making me angry as well.
infact please dont lave anymore comments on my questions because i will end up telling you to f**k off not all seventeen year old r like bloody sarah platt you need to stop watching so much soaps 17 year old r capable of looking after babys just like you would be!!!

Joe I support everything you said. Why lie to someone so they can feel their actions are justified? To all the parents on here, if your 17 year old hit you with the news they are pregnant, and in a situation like Pregnant is, how would you take that news? Be truthful first to yourself. If I have a baby now or when I turn 17 my parents would kill me, not joking. This is the fashion now, babies having babies!

I think it is quite obvious through spelling mistakes, lack of grammar etc that pregnant s is not educated and will find if she has this baby now will be a dosser for life. Go to college - get educated. There is all the time in the world to be a parent. Regardless of how supportive your family are you will end up on benefots and people like joe and I will pay for you. Look at it from another angle its not all cuteness and yummymummy.

Call me a strict and disciplined parent but I would be absolutely mortified if my 17 year old (boy or girl!).

I would push and push for a termination not merely say "It's your choice"

I think everyone is entitle to their opinions, however, I do think it's a bit out of order giving predictions when the full facts are not known.

Sorry pregnant-s but I have to say that Joe-the-Lion has a point and believe me we've clashed on previous posts. If you pose a question on this site you have to accept the fact that people will answer with opinions that vary from your own. You say 'I don't have a job or anything' as if it is of insignificance whereas surely being able to financially provide for a baby is one of the most important things you can do. I am more than 10 years older than you with a degree and a good job and I still don't think I could provide for a child financially. Also, you get angry to the point of throwing a childish (and I did think quite hard before using that word) strop when faced with a differing opinion. How are you going to stay calm when faced with a child who is screaming at you at 3am even though you've fed it, changed it and cuddled it for hours? If you'd remained calm and said that you appreciated his point of view but would prefer to hear from people with practical advice, fair enough, but you didn't. I'm not judging you and saying you fit a certain stereotype but it doesn't sound to me like you have rationally considered all avenues and arrived at a considered opinion. I will say, however, good luck in whatever you choose because at the end of the day it is up to you - but it is a massive commitment - and I should know, I was brought up in a single parent family.

I cant actually believe that people think what "ward minter" is saying fair and are agreeing with him....

[efc]

nat_84 I don't agree but everyone is entitled to their own opinion and when you post a question on here then you're going to have lots of different opinions posted. I do think some of the answers have gone too far though!

[nat_84]

I said in response that he's entitled to his opinion which is fair enough but like you said he's gone too far.

Although its only an internet chat site i dont think people realise how much effect their comments can have on someone...especially someone in such a delicate situation.

[Sasha13]

nat_84 - I did say he had a point, not that I agreed with him!x

[makemesmile]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and yes, what joe-the-lion says CAN be true. But it doesn't have to happen that way. It can turn out very differently.

But STOP this mud slinging. Its terrible to treat anyone facing such a life changing and important decision in this way.

PLEASE STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE TYPING HERE.

I was going to post earlier but now there's a lot of answers to this question and I noticed a fair amount of repetition but I never saw much info about the absent father here. I would say he was the most important person to be kept in the loop on this one and whatever you finally decide, it should be discussed with him before you make any decisions. I know if it was my kid I'd want to know and I'd feel very strongly about it too. Best of luck! x
