This year has been a good year for me, my grades have gone from a/b honor roll with the occasional c to all a's taking dual enrollment classes and planning to leave home to go attend a prestigous college next fall. However, I just found out im pregnant. My boyfriend is happy. When I mentioned abortion, my boyfriend was very upset and threatened to never talk to me again if I quote: "killed his baby". He told his family who say they will do everything they can to help. He's been looking for a job and treating me even better. I dont want to put my dreams on hold or abort my baby, haven't told my family. What do I do?

Omg, Wow your story kind of sound like my life. I am 18 and am expecting my first child in about four weeks. I was 17 when i found out that i was having a baby and it was the best and worst news i had ever gotten. Well heres the thing. Just because you are having a baby does not mean that your dreams are down the drain trust me..You will just have to make some different decisions from now on. You can finish school, have your baby, go to college if that is something you plan to do you just have to have the ambition to do it and not slack off like many people these days do. A baby is a merical and will most likley change your life for the better in almost everyway shape in form but something you really need to do is let your parents know because it is very very important that you see a doc. and start on any vitamin or nething else that they suggest this is time to see if you want to grow up and have change or just roll like all the other kids,... well i hope everything turns out well for you

Having a baby is hard work but because you know you have support from your bf's family than that makes it easier. It's imperative that you tell your family now cos it's not going to go away! Which leads to the other issue. If you decide you do want to abort the child it's entirely you're choice. It's good that your bf is treating you better but he should always treat you with the love and respect you deserve regardless of whether you are pregnant or not. However, since you don't want an abortion and you want to have your child, you're going to have to learn how to juggle :)
Lots of luck for the future!
