Get yourself on the pill either way, but don't hide it. It's your body. If he "won't ever leave you" then he won't leave you if you do this. If you insist on staying with him, even though you obviously don't trust him then tell him that you WILL have an education and you WILL have a flat and a savings account before you even CONSIDER having a child. Congratulations on being responsible and refusing to have a baby you know you're not ready for.

I see, you're completly panic because of this situation. Tell him the same things you told us. You're smart enough to not have baby at your age and your school ambitions. There is a time for everything. It takes 2 people to make a decision about having baby. Finish school, try to better know each other, tell him how you feel about this. Remember, it's not neccesery he's "the one", specially because you're together for a such a little time. About pills, I think you can use them without his knowing. If you don't trust him enough, why not? Pills are always good contraception decison, if you use them properly. Good luck and enjoy your youth.

What a mature young lady you are :D This is a breath of fresh air to read a young teen saying she is too young for motherhood.There are far too many children being raised by young girls, who have no financial means to raise their children.You stick to your guns and make a life for yourself my love.

Well if he had sex with you while you were asleep that would be counted as statutory rape and if I were you I'd report him for it no matter how much you love him or how much he says you. Though that's highly unlikely, so I wont digress.My cousin was in EXACTLY the same position when he was 16. He was desperate for his long term girlfriend to get pregnant and he kept saying to us 'I'm going to be a daddy soon!" As you can imagine, she wasn't ready for a baby and she put her foot down. They were still sexually active but it's still just the two of them and he's not mentioned it since. It will pass, you just need to give him time to realise that a baby will turn your world upside down and just because the legal age for sex is 16 that doesn't mean that you're obliged to try for a baby as soon as you blow out those sweet sixteen candles. Take him to the cinema after dark or bowling and then gently drop the hint; say something like "This was nice. See we wouldn't be able to do this if we had a baby." Be subtle. He will get over it I promise you. But until he does continue using condoms and maybe you should see the doctor or nurse too see about getting the pill. Don't feel pressurised to have a baby from fear of losing your boyfriend. If he leaves you for that and that only; he's not worth being with. Good luck x

hello, let me tell you something if don't want to have sex with him you have to prvent him from having sex with you, but if you are afriad to get preganat you must use condom or contraceptive in order to avoid being preganat.if you want to know he is going to marry you or not, i think it depends on how his feelings towards you,i mean here you have sound his feelings out very well, iam telling you this words form experaces,anyway i wish you the best.smartman,,,
