<p>HOLLY CRAP, you go away for a couple of hours and 50 new messages come.
worriedkid725, i’ve literlly read every singal post someone has put on here, did your boyfriend tell his parents yet?
also, don’t but your baby for adoption. to some idiots on this post, they might think of a baby as a “couple of cells” but its much more then that. its your whole future, right in your belly. your baby is going to expand your family’s name. keep him and take care of him, if it helps put him in a day care centre, while u go to university and have your parents pay.
BTW, think of the bright side, at least u now you’ll never going to dye alown</p>
<p>You’re right about the expenses. Maybe the baby’s grandparents will set up a college fund for it made up of money that would’ve been spend on a more expensive uni though still as compensation? I mean, I know neither set of parents are supportive of us being pregnant at an early age, but they’re human. They’re not the kind who would let their children/grandchildren just suffer. </p>
<p>And I’ll have two years with the baby at home while I finish up HS. I think I’m fortunate that I’ll have help from my family during its infancy. By the time I’m in college, (s)he’ll be almost two.</p>
<p>Also, I know many HSers say they love kids, but I really really do. I’ve always genuinely believed I’d make a good mom. I’ve had jobs at lots of summer camps/volunteered through other programs involving kids, and had experience with my niece/nephew from an early age, and I think I have a natural aptitude for caring for/engaging them.</p>
<p>I know it’s a tough road ahead; there’s no denying that. I just think that, given the circumstances, I have it better off than your average “teen mom,” so hopefully I can beat the odds and raise a healthy, happy baby with my bf.</p>
<p>Yes, we do plan on getting married. He “proposed” to me last night. We plan on raising our child together. He wants to play a paternal role in his baby’s life. He and his parents do have morals, but I think we’ll hold off on the marriage until I’ve graduated HS.</p>
<p>MizzBee, either way I don’t go to school with my bf. I’m pretty sure I’ll continue at my current school, and if worst comes to worst, I’ll go to the nearby public school (which supposedly offers a great education). No big deal. Either way, I’ll graduate, and either way, I’ll go to college.</p>
<p>As one of the parents you is encouraging her to consider adoption, I don’t think the baby is a “couple of cells”. I DO know that my 16-year old mother made my life better by giving me up for adoption. I was raised by responsible adults who gave me a great deal of love and support, and she got the chance to grow up and pursue her own dreams. I thank her regularly for the sacrifice that she made. She told me that she had a hard time deciding, but knowing that I grew up happy and healthy made a huge difference.</p>
<p>worriedkid725, how long have you been with your boyfriend?</p>
<p>^ over a year now.</p>
<p>MizzBee, i was telling the opposite, i was trying to say that a baby is NOT a couple of sells, its a gift, its someone that will expand the family name.
READ MY POST again (#201) you idiot</p>
<p>Can you please stop ■■■■■■■■ on my thread? While your little rants and misspellings may be humorous to you, I really don’t appreciate them.</p>
<p>i think its a good idea that u wait untill u graduate highschool before marriyng him, just like u said.
just keep it in mind that you’ve been only dating more then a year. u and your boyfriend could be rushing in to things to fast. remember ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN!!!
HOPE FOR THE BEST, BE READY FOR THE WORST</p>
<p>worriedkid725, i wasnt trying to say anything bad, mizzbee is the one who thinks im a stupid atheist, willing to abort a baby.</p>
<p>335426607, I read your posts again. Still think you are an idiot. You obviously didn’t read my post. I didn’t accuse you of saying that.</p>
<p>Seriously it got old a long time ago. If you’re going to be serious and have anything useful to contribute that would be more than welcome but if you’re trying to get a laugh look elsewhere.</p>
<p>And if only atheists aborted, we would have a small abortion rate in this country. From the Guttmacher Institute: "Women identifying themselves as Protestants obtain 37.4% of all abortions in the U.S.; Catholic women account for 31.3%, Jewish women account for 1.3%, and women with no religious affiliation obtain 23.7% of all abortions. 18% of all abortions are performed on women who identify themselves as “Born-again/Evangelical”.</p>
<p>I was simply stating that worried still needs to consider adoption, and giving her a personal reference as a success story, as it were. I am trying to give her a look at her future that is realistic, though not hopeless.</p>
<p>335426607 - as someone who claims to be in middle school, you have no business talking about babies. get off this thread.</p>
<p>a laugh at what worriedkid725, ive spent a long time on this post, contributing my thoughts. people like me and intparent have posted alot of comments.
the least you can do is say thanks, am i the one who’s pregnant?
btw, sorry for the bad spelling, im typing fast</p>
<p>mizzbee, same for me, im only trying to help.</p>
<p>335, there are times when one’s inexperience trumps their desire to add 2 cents. Intparent is not an 8th grader. Didn’t you have one argument already?</p>
<p>335426607: oh my gosh I’m so sorry! I cant believe I’ve neglected your practical guidance like this! allow to me formally apologize and thank you so much for all your useful insights. you’ve really helped me so much in this adverse time of my life! I’m so grateful to have people like you posting on here!!!</p>
