hey everyone. i'm kinda new at this, so i really don't know what to expect. im 17 years old and just found out that i was pregnant. i'm not a **** and im not easy either. i've only had *** with one guy and it was my 1st time. it wasnt a spur of the moment decision either...we talked about it for a while before we did anything. anyway, i've lost most of my friends, my parents dont know yet, and like in all of the movies, the guy left me. i live in a small town, so word has gotten around kind of fast. i dont have anyone who i can talk to, so i came here to try my luck. so my question for anyone who reads this, is: Does it get any better?? thanx.

Surprisingly the things that you fear the most are the things that seem to work out the best. Tell your parents, they may be mad at first, but most parents come around in the end. You are in for such a life change and I hope you are ready. You have been given the greatest gift of all. You will have someone that will love you unconditionaly and you will love the same. You will always have someone to talk to here and you are welcome to do so anytime. Your friends that aren't talking to you are not really your friends. You will meet people eventually that will support you and your decision. Good Luck and if you ever need to talk, I am here. Jayme

IT GETS BETTER. BUT ONLY IF YOU ARE POSITIVE AND STAY STONG HEADED! i was 19 when i got preggo and was 20 when i had him. my son is 9 months now. you really need to tell your folks. i did right away, the longer you wait im sure the more upset they will be with you. i have to get off now but PLEASE private message me anytime id love to help you out and give you adivce. CONGRATS DARLING!

I was also 17 when I got pregnant and a senior in high school. I am now 23 years old my son will be 5 next month. It will get easier I promise. It does not matter what other people say or think. Just do what you beleive is best for you and your child. If you have not told your parents I would recommand you do it sooner than later, also make sure to see your doctor. I also got pregnant the 1st time I had sex and we broke up shortly after I found out I was pregnant. Be strong, and think positively. You have friends here and will make new ones.

Hey girl, Im 16 and 7 months pregnant right now, I know how you feel. I also live in a VERY small town, only about 500 people. A lot of people look down on me, just because im pregnant. but, I just learned you can't care what others think, you have to care about you and this child because those are the things that matter right now. It will get better, people will end up accepting it sooner or later, and if they dont, it isnt their problem, isnt their lives, so they just need to butt out. And if your parents dont know, you should tell them, before they find out another way. My parents had to find out from the doctor, I wish I would have told them myself. It is really hard, Ive gone through a lot of emotional stress and I feel like killing myself or just going in a hole and never coming out, but I think of my baby, and how great it will be to hold her in my arms, I think it makes it all worth it. If you need to talk, you can e-mail me or use messenger, msn basketballplaya_2006*hotmail.*** or yahoo libra_9213*yahoo.*** bye chick and good luck.
