14 And Pregnant

My name is Mia and im 14 and a freshmen in high school.I live in Maryland and I take all honors classes and take many clases with seniors. I have been going with my boyfriend Prince since October. He is a sophmore and we love each other very much. We were only going out for about a week when we starting having sex. I was a virgin before I met him and i planned on staying that way until i was married , but he convinced me other wise. I am Now 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I am getting more scared everyday. and the worse thing is that o havent even told him yet . The only person i have told is his bestfriend and i made him promise not to tell him. I found out i Was pregnant about 10 days ago and i almost cried when i saw the to blue lines. I am really scared to tell my parents because when my sister got pregnant at 19 they told me f i ever got pregnant in my teen years they would kick me out. They are not understandin people at all. The only thing i am worried about is being a mom because im still a kid and im the baby of te family so its like a baby taing care of a baby.

Not me?

hmm where to start? well i am 17 years old, and i senior in high school. I have a 4.0, i played basketball, softball, and volleyball. i have a lot of friends and a very rough family life. i was accepted to the biggest college in my state, and i was on top of the world. two days later, i find out im pregnant. although i sound like the perfect student, i was not. i party a lot and i had a very bad drinking problem. this probably started because my boyfriend of 3 years is 4 year older then me and a huge partier. about 6 months ago we broke up because he finally admitted to cheating on me with 13 other girls. one night i was at a party and had a little too much to drink and he showed up, long story short im pregnant. my family was very upset but knew they had to support me. his family was more then happy because he's 21 and they are ready for grandkids. school has been really hard for me. its a very small school (my graduating class is 124 people) so there is a new rumor about me everyday. i have lost friends because of this and gained some. i have lost family and gained some. the father was supportive at first, but it didnt take long to change his mind. im 14 weeks and he's already desided he wants nothing to do with it. it hurts to know that so much of my life is going to change, but i know one day when i look back i wouldnt have wanted this any other way. i pray every night for god to give me strength because i know i will need it through this. i never thought this would ever happen to me. it just shows that everything is possible.

no father for my daughter

im shelby and i am at a loss for words considering that i am only 16, and i have an 11 1/2 month old daughter. she has no father, due to the fact that he was killed in an incidental shooting on october 23,2009 this severly broke my heart, because now my daughter will never get to meet her father, he was there for me up until he passed away, he done everything for me, he would have made a great father, he knew that he was going to be a father, and he was proud of it, he bragged about it to all of his friends, and that is what really let me know that he really wanted to be a dad, because he knew that my dad was never really there for me, and his dad was out of the picture in his life also, so we both kneow what it is like to not have a good dad, and now that tyler has passed on, it is hard on me, because i struggle between work, school and spending time with my daughter, she is my world and i wouldnt give her up for anything and my parents to this day still dont understand that, so since havingg her, i have moved out and got an apartment with my current boyfriend, Brian, and we are happy, he is there for me and for my daughter even though he knows that without a dout that she isnt his. and i hope that this dont make people look down on kentucky anymore than they already do because of us having another teen mom here.

teen mom

I had my baby girl on March 25th 2010. She is my pride and joy. But i am a single mother. and i do it well. My daughters father and i planned our daughter, yeah dumb thing right? well he left about 3 1/2 months in. i was so upset. he got a new gf 3 days later, i went on alone. my parents were very supportive. then when i was about 8 or 9 mnths pregnant he came back in the picture. with his new gf pregnant too. then he left her for me. he was there through labor which was difficult. he was a good father for a while then we started fighting and we broke up. now we rarely talk and my daughters little sister well ive never seen her and either has my daughter. if any of you girls are facing this alone you can do it(: i was 16 and did it alone now im 17 with a 9 month old daughter and im doing it alone and yes its very hard buts its also very rewarding. everytime i see her smile at me i know i did the right thing♥

Pregnant at 16

I am 16, every weekend I like to hang out with my friends, I love to play basketball, softball, and volleyball. I get pretty good grades, and I plan to go to college in the future, but a lot of that had to be set on hold when I found out I was pregnant.

My boyfriend Derek and I have been dating for 2 years and when I was around 15 we started to become sexually active. I kept having symptoms of pregnancy so I decided to take a test. It was positive. I was scared, sad, and partly embaressed. I cried for the longest time. I didnt want to tell anyone but I knew that I had to. I told my boyfriend and he was shocked but understanding. My parents felt the same way. When I told my friends they were all shocked! My boyfriend stuck by me the whole time I was pregnant.

I finally had my baby son on 12/20/09. We named him Brayden Dean. He is perfect. He is going to be 1 soon, he is my little angel.

After the birth of Brayden my boyfriend left me because he wasnt ready for a son, but luckily my parents were very supportive. They help me pay for daycare so I can go to school. I am now 17 and looking to graduate High School soon. I am hoping to go to college to get a good job, so I can provide for Brayden. I am still single, but hopefully in the future there will be some man that will be able to be there for me as well as for my son.

Getting pregnant was not somthing I thought would happen in High School, and certinaly something I didnt like at first Luckily for me my parents were there, now I wouldnt change anything.
