writes:This is for the teenage girls who purposefully try to get pregnant, because they think they are 'ready' or they think it will be 'cool' to carry a baby around in there arm or have a belly to show off, or it will keep you and your boyfriend together 'forever'On July 27th is when my whole life changed. I found out I was one month pregnant with my first child and I am only fifteen years old. I can't even begin to describe the feeling I got when the test read postive. It didn't even feel real. Telling my parents wasn't an easy thing. My mother burst out in tears and so did my sister. I will remember that day for the rest of my life. I may as well took my mothers heart out and stomped on it. I can't even put my self in her shoes. I can't imagine how it must feel for a mother to find out there fifteen year old is pregnant.Do you know how it feels to look at your family and realize that they will NEVER look at you the same way? Pregnancy doesn't just affect you. It affects the people that love you the same way.Now I am forced to face some very important desicions. I am clearly young and cannot properly support a child and neither can my boyfriend. We are children ourselves. Not a single second passes that I don't think of the realization that there is a baby in my stomach RIGHT THIS SECOND. It's growing. It has a heart beat. I feel like my whole childhood has been stolen away from me. While my friends will be out partying and going from boyfriend to boyfriend and living there life. I will be stuck with a baby, even when it's just in your stomach and not even born yet it still affects your life in tremedous ways.For right now, my boyfriend remains supportive but keep in mind, not most guys are like that and my boyfriend could up and leave any second now and not look back. Unfortuantley thats the consequences we have to face.All these feelings are overwhelming. I am stressed and so exhausted. I can't eat food without becoming sick.I haven't even made my desicion on what to do with this Child all I know is right now I AM A MOTHER, even though my baby is not born yet.PLEASE if your going to have sex, please use the pill or a condom. It's all fun and games, until you are pregnant with a child and realize that this is REAL and not something you can toy around with.Thank you.

 i know what you mean, i would love to have a baby and i'm only 14. I would love to though, right now, carry it and have MY BABY! i wish i had aa baby but on the other hand i would never have a baby at this age not until i'm getting married i wouldn't like to be one of those moms who have a child of 10 or something and think ' no-nes gonna want me cause i have a child' i know not helping with your situation but here are some idea's that can help: keep the baby and hope all goes well with your boyfriend, get it aborted (not my way of doing things), carry the baby an find adoptive parents that can't have a baby and can support it. If you deside to have it, it may take your intire life away but you won't regret having it once you know it (its your baby, your the mom the one thats most important in the babies life.
hope that helps.....xxx

I started reading this artical thinking not another silly little girl getting pregnant, but I am far wrong! you have got a great mind on your head, and although your parents are shocked im sure they will help you through. You are going to be a great mum but its not all easy.
Good luck ?

I understand what you mean about some young people seeng having a baby as some sort of "fashion accessory". It isn't, it is a real human life, and it is a huge responsibility.
I think this article should be handed out at schools for young people to read, I really do think this will make any young person considering pregnancy stop and think.
I hope it all works out for you, whatever you choose to do, and that you get enough support from the others in your life. You always have the other agony aunts on this site too. :-)
Good luck. x

I live in hope.
I also hope you find an acceptable solution to your predicament.
