So I thought I wouldn't have to say this for years and I really, really didn't want to until years from now. But I'm pregnant. And I'm freaking out, like totally and completely freaking out! I'm 17, it's my senior year of high school, I'm not ready for this. But I can't abort. I've always been pro-choice my whole life but now that I'm faced with this I just can't do it! I'm so scared and I don't even know what to say. I'm literally just praying this was a dream and I'll magically wake up. It won't happen, and that's horrible. I don't know how to tell my parents, I don't know how to tell my boyfriend who happens to be my best friend, I don't know what will happen with school, and I don't know what's going on with my life. I just need some sort of advice or reassurance or something, just anything.
Hey Ginny.Take a breath.I think the first person you should tell is your boyfriend.Mainly because he is the dad an you best friend.An it'll be easrier to tell your parent with him by your side.As for school if you really put forth a good effort and try really hard to keep up you can still graduate.You may not be able to walk but you can still graduate.The key thing right now is to take it one step at a time.Try not to over stress.Which is hard but once you have a support system it gets easier.
I'm still just freaking out. I know it will probably, maybe sort of get better after someone supports me but, right now I'm so scared to say anything to anyone.
What's even worse is that I've been avoiding him. Ever since Monday when I found out I've been deliberately walking a different way, hanging out with different friends at lunch. But I don't want to avoid him. I miss him, even in these 3 days. I'm just scared that the moment I see him I'll tell him and then he'll be as freaked out as I am.
And then there's my dad, who most likely is going to want to kill him. I mean he won't, but still he won't think too highly of either of us. In any case it just was not supposed to go this way. Nobody expects this from me, but I guess a lot of girls say that... I don't even know what to think anymore. And I don't know what to say. I think I completely lost the point I was trying to make in this response, I'm basically just ranting now.

I became pregnant with my first child at 17, I knew right away that it would be hard but god never gives you what you can't handle. That I truly believe and made the choice to keep my child, financially things are hard but I lack support like parents and the father of my children cause I have two with this guy but I do it. Listen hun you'll be okay its scary but you'll love this child and continue to better yourself for this child. Things are never easy but it teaches you to be stronger. Abortion is a negative in my book, the effects it has on you after is horrible, and knowing that this fetus had a heart beat stops me automatically. Abortion isn't always the answer you have two other options as well adoption or parenting. I'm sure you'll be fine just believe in yourself and leave the rest up to god. God bless you and your soon to be bundle of joy, my children have made me a better person and I'm grateful for that.
And j walked eight months pregnant, and got my diploma you can do this. Your father mag be mad now, but hell lighting up to it in the future when it settles in.
