question Posted on 05-26-2003

This I guess is mostly geared toward the female but it doesn't really matter. Anyway I just found out I am pregnant. I don't really see it as bad thing but I also don't see it as wonderful either. Anyway I'm thinking about not keeping it and having an **** because I am an athlete and I plan on recieving a scholarship to college and without an education I'm not gong to be able to give my child the life they should have. I know this is a position I put myself in but I'm just wondering if you were in my situation what would u do?

I'm not sure if I would or wouldn't. It depends on the circumstances, but I always had the dream of going to an HBCU, and If I was in your situation then honestly I think I would, what kind of life could I give the baby with no education and no place to live, I wouldn't want my parents taking on my responsibilities, it just isn't right. I do want to have kids some day but when I'm married with a secure job. 8)

hey!!! I know this is a difficult time for you. you are confused and scared and don't know what to do. so first i want to tell you that whatever you decide is your decision. second i want to tell you two quick stories. you make your decision from there. Don't let anyone belittle you cause they don't like what you've decided. anyway about 18 years ago my mother had me. she was 14 years old. she never thought to abort me. now at 32 years old. she has a beautiful daughter (me) that looks like her little sister and she also has 3 other children. she works as a school teacher and is now back in school so she could be a accountant/real estate agent. the second story: I have a friend who had an **** back in november. she felt she wanted to give her child more and she could not do that at 17. she felt terrible about this, but she felt it was her only choice. she is now baptized, about to go to one the best schools in NY and trying to figure out how we are going to have the best time at prom. Good luck and God bless. whatever decision you make make sure it is your own :wink:

Personally, I am not saying whether you SHOULD or SHOULD NOT have an ****, but if I were in your position I would have an ****. I know it is wrong and is a sin, and I am just as Christian as the next person but these is one of those situations where I just got to stand on my own two feet and decided. Granted, this sitatuion could have been prevented in many ways, but since it happened there is a choice you are going to have to make. But if I WERE YOU I would choose the **** because I honestly know that I would not be able to provide for my child the way I have been provided for, and that isnt fair to them. And many would say that it is selfish to have an ****, but I BELIEVE it is more selfish to keep a child knowing you cannot properly provide for them. And I know for a fact my parents WOULD NOT be there for me if I were pregnant, so I would be all alone in it. But if you do have the support of your family then maybe you consider keeping the child and because of your situation, you might have to put your own dreams and career goals on hold...but sometimes you do what you gotta do !!!! If you are meant to keep this child just remember one thing, WHEN THERE IS A WILL, THERES A WAY. I pray that you will find comfort and and guidance in praying to God, and I will pray that you you make the RIGHT DECISION FOR YOU !!!!

I got a question. Sorry for putting this on your most very important post but who died on Dawson Creek. I've never watched that show but would still like to know.

Jen died.....It was five years into the future. She had a baby too. She died from a rare heart condition. It was a very sad last series finale. I cried the entire two hours

Jen was the white girl who lived with her grandmother. Remember when Dawson 's Creek first aired she was the last one to join the group and she moved from New York City.....You have to know who she is. It was Dawson, Joey, Pacey, and then Jen. I hope that rings a bell.
