baked agony auntHow can you be cousins, but not related? Anyway, at 14, he is way too young to understand the amount of responsibility.

Needed to bring up and take care of a child, as he is a child, and isn't even legal. 14 sounds under age. Isn't that Child Abuse?

At 17, why are you going with a child?

Okay firstly don't use the morning after pill ever if you are not okay with abortion because thats what it causes. You are right to not want an abortion, it is wrong. So definitely have the child if you are in fact pregnant.

Now about keeping it. If you think that you can and will be able to rise the child then keep it. You don't have to give it up for adoption. You should only do that if you are absolutely sure you can't rise the child. Since you aren't, consider keeping the child. Now if you keep the child, bare in mind it won't be easy.

What you also need to consider is if your partner there will be a good father. If you think he can't be (which he probably can't) then don't be afraid to rise the child on your own. Giving your child the best father possible is your responsiblity now, not your parents and definitely not his parents. If he's not it then don't let him be.

When was it that you had sex? Did you know about the morning-after pill? This can only be used within 72hours to have an affect. You should do whatever is best for you. I know that having an abortion doesn't seem like the right thing to do but if you don't want a baby or can't bring the baby up then you probably should consider having an abortion. Have you actually took a pregnancy test yet? I wouldn't start to panic until you take a pregnancy test. I think they are free from your doctor or you could buy one from the chemists. Hope this helps and that you do the right thing.
