i skipped a few pages cos too much of the same shit to read... when u started the thread u said u were about a week late? if u still havent gotten ur periods, do a test now, cos its usually more accurate the longer u wait. it depends on how accurate ur periods are.. mine come and go whenever they want.. i only know theyre coming cos i get back pain the day before, and sometimes a pimple. personally, id have an abortion. people say its wrong to take a life, but think of it this way.. ur in the best years of ur life, do u really want to take on the responsibilities of having a baby? ud only be about 17-18 yrs old, right? so it is a bit young. i know where ur coming from about the whole parents thing, im the same.. if i told my mum i was pregnant she'd kick me in the head! the thing is though, if u do have an abortion the first time ur pregnant, i heard that it significantly increases ur chances of having a miscarriage later in life (jst wat i heard, someone prove me wrong).. at the beginning of this year i skipped 3 sets of periods, got them (but when i did, they were like darkish and barely there).. they went on for 20 days, and 2 weeks later i got them again and they were really heavy.. after that they havent been much trouble.. but i guess its jst easier for some people.. im not having sex at the moment (not this moment exactly.. i mean like now.. like.. oh dw..) it all depends on what ur values are.. if ur against abortion and have accepting parents and a loving bf then go4it.. but if ur oldies are a lil on the old fashioned side and if u dont mind the idea of having an abortion, then i suggest having the abortion. with abortion, they give u counselling, they help u through it, and make sure that ur mentally capable to go through with it. ok so ur killing a life.. this life hasnt developed a brain, has no life experiences, what would it know? what do u know about bringing up a child? if ur parents kicked u out of ur home, would u be able to live with ur bf? would u have to get a place of ur own? do u have a job for rent/food/other things? babies are expensive.. the $3000 baby bonus doesnt help a whole lot.. what if u have twins? triplets? what if it ends up being handicapped? think about the bigger picture. but then again, what if its the best thing that might ever happen to u? just remember, the choice is yours, and u shouldnt let anyone make it for u.
Good luck and best wishes
