Name: Lindsay [ Original Post ] So May 10 was my last period, in June i took a pregnancy test and it was positive. When i first told my boyfriend he seemed really supportive, he told be he'd stand by whatever decision i make. I mentioned abortion one time out of anger, and now it seems like thats whats going to happen no questions ask. I really don't know what i wanna do though. In the back of my mind i know i want my baby, but i don't want my boyfriend to feel trapped with me and a baby. I know i sound immature, and i feel stupid for putting myself in this position. I feel like i threw my life away for five minutes of fun. I feel like i disappointed. i don't know, i don't knbow what to do i don't want to fix one mistake with an even bigger mistake. any help? ↓

If you want to keep your baby I would keep it and just let your boyfriend go on. You don't have to have a man to raise a kid (no doubt it would be hard but you can do it). And if you decide to keep it and he truely loves you he will step up and be a man and take care of his responsibility. There is also adoption. There are a lot of people like me that can't have children but would absolutely love to have one and some people that would even let you remain in the child's life. If you need anyone to talk to email me at cherry_angel2223@yahoo.com my name is Debbie. Good luck to you and God bless. ↑

I wouldn't let him off scott free. If he doesn't want to be a "daddy" then that's fine, he doesn't have to be but he's just as responsible for your pregnancy as you are so he should pay child support. As for "throwing your life away for five minutes of fun"...I understand where you're coming from with that but I can assure you that your life isn't being thrown away. True after having a baby life as you now know it will be over but a whole new life begins. Before becoming a mom I couldn't imagine giving up my freedom and my life, but since having my son I can't imagine life any other way. It makes everything that used to be important seem so trivial. Whatever you decide to do, make sure it's what's best for you. ↑
