I never ever imagened myself as a "mother". The idea was alien to me, it was something friends of older friends did. NOT ME. I always remembered being at school and kids would say "i'd call my son Pubert, and my daughter Tinkerbell" and would always reply with the simple fact that i never want a child, not ever.

But lets face it i should have thought about this before. I always take precautions, but one time is all it takes, at my age i should be more carefull i know all this. I went through the million lessons at school about STD's and safe sex.

I feel lost and very much helpless, my parents are very religious and have no idea that now i'm not at home i have lost faith, altough i don't think i ever tuly believed, but more to the point would disown me if they knew i was unmarried with child.

I explored the option of termination through desperation and fear of another life inside me but couldn't bring myself to. No matter what the nurses can advise it still feels like murder. My brother mentioned a2k a while ago when he was going thru some troubles with his girlfriend. I would really appreciate anything, any advice anyone might have, or if anyone out there has been in this same situation.

I never had kids but I am raising one that was born to a girl not so different from you.

Have you considered letting the baby be adopted?

You say you are afraid ....... this is normal.

You say you have explored abortion .... but it is NOT right for you. Then please don't do it.

You say your parents would disown you if you told them..... Charlie, there are alot of girls that have been in your shoes that felt the same way. And I am sure that some of them would tell you their parents were shocked at first.....but in the end they accepted it. They did so because they love them. Even though a parent can be hurt by what their children do....they do not stop loving them because of it.

You need to tell your parents. Then you need to decide if you want to keep this baby or give it up for adoption.

Do you have any really close friends that can be a good support base for you?

Have you been to planned parenthood? They can offer you alot of advice and help you to sort things out.

Does the babies father know you are pregnant?

Keep posting, Charlie. There are alot of good people here that will try and help you in whatever way they can.
