17, pregnant, abortion
46 Answers
If im 17 and fell pregnant not through a lack of protection but because protection failed and i knew i was going to have an abortion, should i tell the guy ive been dating for 6 months about the pregnancy and abortion etc. The thing is i dont want anyone to know ive had an abortion for obvious reasons as kids can be so cruel however i dont know if i fully trust him not to tell anyone. Im scared he will confide in a friend who will then tell someone else etc. Or im scared that when we break up, he will tell people and everyone will find out. What should i do?

However abortion is hard, very emotionally traumatic and i would advise to you that you do tell someone i.e your parents or best friend to have some support for yourself.
Ultimately it is your decision. Were I a 17 year old who had made my girl pregnant I'd want to know and be very angry if I found out later, but there again I'd hope I'd be the type of guy a girl could trust such that an abortion would not seem necessary and would be allowed to discuss beforehand. I think we can understand if you feel the risks are not something you want to take on though. You know him better than anyone here. Perhaps if you are not interested in discussing the proposed abortion, he may be better off not knowing and getting hurt.
