Answer!

whoa whoa and double whoa! Sounds like you are in a pretty awful situation. But lets start from the beginning shall we?

You're fifteen? AND Pregnant? Can I assume you have an AWESOME boyfriend who wants to stick around and help? Naaa.. nevermind, this is the 21st century. So I'm going to assume you are on your own. (Note to You: CONDOMS and Birth Control are your friends in the future, but the deed is done, so lets move on shall we?)

Plannedparenthood.com is an AWESOME website that is full of all sorts of information about pregnancy and what you can do about your situation.

Abortion seems like a logical solution to your problem, seeing as you're parents are being less than supportative, and you've got no where to turn, however, maybe people (myself included!) could not go through with such a procedure. But, if it's for you, a few things to keep in mind:

Abortions are EXPENSIVE: Be prepared to spend up to 500 dollars, and make sure you go to ALL your appointments.

Abortions are LIFE CHANGING: Yes, you will have your pre-pregnant life back, and not go through the life changing experience of having a child, but you will have to live with the constant 'what-if' and possibly guilt for what you've done? Make sure you have someone VERY supportative of your decision to hold onto for the first few months.

Then there is the option of Adoption. Go through the pregnancy and give the baby to a better home in the end. There are a lot of Horror stories about babies in child protective services or foster homes, but honestly, you have the opportunity to choose the family yourself. You have lots of choices when it comes to what kind of adoption you want to have. Open or closed? (can your child find you after they turn 18? or not to even have your name on the records so they have no way of knowing..)

Then there is the good old fashioned keep it and pray option. You are 15 going on 16, right? Get a job. NOW. In fact, get a job 10 minutes ago because babies are expensive. If you're parent will not keep you, I'd start looking for a place for you and your baby to live... aunts? uncles? grandparets? what about the babies Daddies parents? a flipping roof over your head! someone is bound to take pitty on you. There is a possibility you will have to drop out of school, but if you have the energy, try and graduate.. or go for your GED early. Your baby will be your life now, so you can forget Prom and Pep Rallies... but we all make decisions.

Bottom Line www.plannedparenthood.com is one of the best sites available. Good luck!! Now is the time to find out who your REAL friends are!
