Pregnant

[babygirl3]

Ok hi I started this thread in the puberty for girls

http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=24099


I am pregnant, but I saw this thing on the news like Mormons were having kids at 14 and is that illegal. My boyfriend was already pissed at me I dont know why he's the one that didn't use protection. Now I don't know what to do. I'm confused, my parents already know and they seem disapointed in me, I can understand why. Like I said in my other post i'm Catholic and its against my faith. Let get to the point is my boyfriend going to get in trouble legally because of rape or something like that? I love my boyfriend and I don't want him to get in trouble. Will he?

Thanks

About him getting in trouble, it depends on what you are in. You need to go online and look up your state restrictions or something.

Well it depends on your state laws I belive you can be 17 at the oldest and 14 at the youngest but you have a three year range if hes three years older then u its illegal But why ddint u use protection? If hes 14 and ur 14 ur fine, but do u have a plan in place because this has happened to me before with my gf

I think the least of your problems right now is if he'll get into trouble. You're the one pregnant.

Get some counselling, get some medical attention, and make sure you're taking good care of yourself Plan for the future here.

Like I said my parents know they arn't happy with me, but has schedualed an appointment with the docter ( probly Ultrasound? ) right, but my parents are there for me but I love him to much to let him get in trouble you know?

You know, by the time you have the baby, everything will change.
You're parent's disappointment will have been whittled down,
And they'll more than likely be supportive and loving grandparents.
Hopefully your boyfriend decides to stick around,
And sees that he's just as guilty for not using protection.
It's both his and your fault, but hopefully you guys can make it work.

I looked it up for you,
The age of consent in Texas is 17,
But I think that the 3 year rule is used in most places.
So if You guys are three years or less apart,
You'll probably be okay unless your parents want to charge him for statutory rape.

First off this is right down my alley. Second you dont get you first ultrasound till your in your at the end of first trimester. I'm not going to recommend you go through with this, but still give the child up for adoption it might be for the best.

Yes, I agree with KGTM. Its the right thing to do. Once the pregnancy is over, go to the hospital and leave the baby there.

As for your boyfriend, it depends on what your parents want to do. Whether or not you guys go to court of this. It depends on how serious this is.

hmm i doubt there is any legal issues in the us minors can have sex with eachouther. about the whole leaving the baby at the hospital thing and adoption, its up to you if u think u can love and care for this child by all means go for it, i have met some excellant teen mommys but i suggest if u decide for an adoption you go through it the proper way, rather than leaving the child at the hospital. i know it will get adopted if u do that but im shure you would rather have visitation rights or something as well as know who the baby is going to, you will not gt any rights if u leave the baby at the hospital.
