hi im elizabeth. i am sixteen 6 months pregnant. im honestly so depressed about this child but so happy at the same time. i just feel like im not going to be able to give her the life she deserves. i always said i would give my child a better childhood then i had, because mine was really tough. but i just feel like me being so young and going to school and working is going to put her through alot. i also want to be a teenager too. ive always been a wild child and now im doing nothing. i dont even hang out with friends anymore because they just want to party so they dont want to hangout with me anymore because i cant do those things. to top it all off the baby dad told me he doesnt care and he told his parents i aborted it. then i have my abusive ex calling me off the hook he broke in a couple months ago and broke my door and was harassing me until my neighbor came and broke it up. so thats not making it better. and my first the boy im deadly in love with is using me for sex, which i didnt think so until he told me a couple weeks ago. boys are little prikks. anyways its dumb but that made me really depressed. i just need support like all you other ladies. id be so happy to help you gals with your problems also, because were all going through it. feel free to message me if youd like.

I kinda in a small way know how you feel when I was pregnant I was confussed depressed but kinda happy in a way. I was not as young as you and sounds like you have a rough life I know it is hard to make these decisions for your child. In my opinion you should only think about what is best for your child not for you. If I was in your situation I would do an open adoption. If I was any younger when I got pregnant open adoption would been my only option I would have conceidered. One you are very young and if you are not ready to give up your youth your probably not ready to be a parent. Two being a teen mom is very rewarding but very hard if you dont have support from anyone not saying it would be impossible but it would be even harder. Three with open adoption you can even choose the parents and you still can visit and watch them grow and be apart of their life without all the responsiblity which would able you to have your youth and mature. Not saying your not mature but there is always a way to grow and better yourself and learn specially that young. If you would do the adoption I know you would never forget this time of your life but learn from it. You know now boys are wrong they will do you wrong they will sweet talk you be nice til they get what they want from you then they dont care so know you are special and worth alot more that to be just a thing. The important things in life are worth waiting for so dont you think your worth waiting for? I do! I hope I have helped in some way or gave you something to think about..no decision is gonna be easy for you so think what is the BEST decision for your child not you. God Bless!
