I’m so lost...
i’m 17 years old and pregnant, by complete accident. the baby’s father is still in my life and he has told me his feelings about abortion which are the same as mine, i against it for myself as it would put me through emotional turmoil.
i’ve told my family i’m pregnant and my sister immediately jumped down my throat and told me i NEED to get an abortion, that i can’t even take care of myself. my father told me i’d be ruining my life, that ill become trapped in a victim mentality as “all teenage mothers” do.
my cousins have followed through with the same, ill become the stereotype and that no teenage mother is ready for children.
and lastly, the one that really made me feel strange; my uncle (who is white) told me that he didn’t expect less because “young black girls always get pregnant at that age”. i’m mixed with black and white and it was just.... i have no idea what to say.
what should i do? i’m not comfortable AT ALL with abortion or adoption, this is my child and i love him or her with all my heart... i’m so lost
