im 16 years old and pregnant, i dunno what to do, advice please :'( Options

[sky in heaven]

I beacame member here to share my problem with sb.
I'm 16 years old and i got pregnant. My boyfriend forced me to have sex and refused to use a condom.
Now, I'm pregnant and i really dunno what to do.
I don't wanna get an abortion.
But i just can't imagine how my life will be with a baby.
I'm too young to be a mother.
i doubt if a teenager is able to raise and take care of a child.
My bf left me right after i told him. My parents will kick me out of the house if they find out.
I'm desperate.
Please, if anyone has been thru the same thing or knows a girl that has, give me advice.
I' need to talk to someone who has been in the same place but i imagine that there's not any girl who has really given birth to a child at such a young age. anyway..
i want to take some advice. thank u for reading my post.

please help me.

You're young, that's statutory rape even if you wanted to have sex. Your boyfriend really can't run. I know you feel like he ditched you, but if you decide to keep the baby he really has no choice other than to support it. You just have to take him to court. It sucks, but if you decide to raise the baby on your own it will be worth it. He will have to give you a percentage of his paychecks until the baby is 18 years old. That's a big help. They will probably take it directly out of his paychecks. So, he won't be able to avoid it.

You have to tell your parents... the longer you wait, the worse it's going to get. You parents aren't able to kick you out of your house until you're able to support yourself. Unless they send you to your grandparents or something.

There are plenty of services for young mothers in the US. I would suggest that you meeting with your councilor at school and ask him/her what he/she could do for you. There are training courses and programs that will show you how to be a good mother, or at least the best mother that you could possibly be.

If worse comes to worse, you can always put your baby up for adoption. There are plenty of middle class families who cannot have children and want to adopt a young child. I know you probably want to keep your baby, but it may be in your best interest to put it up for adoption.
