wow. i'm guessing the process takes a day and around 500+$ or so.

i have protected sex 1% of the time. and no girls pregnant YET.

it would be best talking to your parents about this instead of the internet. only they can give you the best advice and procedures.

goodluck man

I dunno how much this is going to help you, and I will try to stay as unbiased as possible, but everyone that I knew through high school that got pregnant and had an abortion regretted it big time. I don't know how long it takes nor the cost, however I have heard that it is really painful for the mother and it may become extremely hard for her to become pregnant later in life.

As far as advice goes, take the test first and see if she really is pregnant. She could just be having a late period and being stressed out doesn't make the period come any faster (if you have really been taking the procautions that you stated). After you find out whether or not she is pregnant then SERIOUSLY talk about your decision before you do anything. Personally I would talk to both of your parents they might be angry that she is pregnant but they may become more angry or dissapointed if they find out that you aborted a potential grandson/daughter.

Depending on what state she lives in, you *might* be charged with statutory rape because she is a minor.


Protected sex only 90% of time? What about the other 10%? If you (and her) don't want the risk of having kids-either always wear a condom (99.9% effective) or don't have vaginal intercourse.

But hey--nevermind, we (the taxpayers) will end up paying for this kid!

You should learn to spell as well. I think we have a few threads about how irritating it is when people don't spell things correctly. Might even lead to misinterpretations. However, in your case it's quite clear.

I know some people regret the abortion whereas other don't. It really just depends on the individual. If you can't talk to your parents do you know any other parents that you have a good, open, friend-like relationship with? You may even want to talk to your school counselor(it's confidential) or call your local Planned Parenthood for advice. If you think you knocked up your girl there is that morning after pill, but that may be too late for you. You and especially your girlfriend should know about these things. Morning after pill has been around for some time now. If you have no one else to consult with then you may have to suck it up and just tell your parents (assuming you think you need someone to consult with).

As far as abortions go, I know the sooner you do it the less controversial it is, it's cheaper, and the operation is safer for the mother. Takes only half a day at most as well.

Contact planned parenthood. They're confidential and can assist you financially.

It costs about 4-500 here in Texas. If you do plan to follow through, its best to do it asap. Here is some advice. If you have unprotected sex next time, go get a next day pill. It's. Just be more responsible. Pay the 2-300 dollars to get her on the pill or shot.

I would not reccomend doing it, because when you get older and appreciate parenthood. You will think back and regret it. I know it's tough for young teens to raise a child, but its not impossible. I had a kid when I was 17 and my child is growing up very healthy. It also helps to have family that are willing to help.
