Jessica, there are other options too. You can have the child and raise it... or get help from family. Abortion should NOT be your first choice. Really think about this. You don't need two people to raise a child right. You don't even have to have him as the father. Good luck. Talk to your parents about this. They may get mad, but it's the right thing to do. The only advice you need to listen to right now is TALK TO YOUR PARENTS.
 

No, you don't need two parents to raise a child IF YOU ARE AN ADULT with a stable job, which is not the case here. She was irresponsible enough to get pregnant now, with some punk kid, she's not ready to be a mother.
 

So you're also saying that my nephews and niece's mom isn't a fit mother? She became pregnant at the age of 15, kept that child, had another at the age of 18 and another at the age of 20. So she's not a great mother? She was still in high school, had no job but she turned out to be a GREAT mother. And might I say that I believe she's a better mother than most married women I know. So, instead of trying to tell her what to do based on your beliefs, tell her what her OPTIONS are.
 

Baby, your aunt may easily be the best mom in the entire world. AFTER she got pregnant at 15, she may have made the absolute best decisions for the rest of her life. However, Jessica is pregnant and is obsessed with some asshole boy when she should be concentrating on herself and her child (and all of her many options). THIS is why I said that JESSICA is too young to think about being a mom. She can't even take care of herself.

I never said that EVERY teen who gets pregnant should have an abortion. I said that JESSICA SHOULD.

If you take fifty pregnant teens who have their babies and see where they and their children are in twenty years, I would bet that at least 80% would be better off getting an abortion and starting over. That is because girls who are dumb enough to get pregnant in high school a) aren't banging a stable MAN who can/will take care of a family b) aren't stable themselves (financially/emotionally/etc) and c) don't heve strong family support in the first place.

I'm not sayin anything about your aunt. I'm sure she's a saint. But MOST teen girls aren't equipped to raise a child AND create a happy/healthy/productive life for THEMSELVES at the same time.
 

You didn't read right. It's my brother's ex girlfriend, not my aunt. This was my brother's children I'm talking about. He too, was in high school. He didn't have a job, treated her like shit and sounds just like this guy. Jessica, do what you feel is right, not what OTHER people think is the right thing. My nephews and niece turned out to be great kids and are completely happy. Do what's best for you. I'm sure you can be a great mother if you decide to.
 

Sorry, aunt/cousin/in-law/whatever...it doesn't change the facts. That's great for her, but definitely not the norm.

Jessica, have a great life!
 

i think that abortion is wrong no matter what tha sititaion is !!! its wrong to take a life . but if you didn't want tha problem of havin a baby you shouldn't of had sex in tha first place but you shouldn't have an abortion no matter what
