I want the baby but my boyfriend wants me to get an abortion

By anonymous on 09/04/2009

Hi I'm 14 and I'm four months pregnant. I had so much ahead of me and I had goals for myself. I didn't know what to do. I'm scared I can't make it in life with a baby. I haven't told my parents but I know they will support me. I never want to have an abortion. I already feel the baby kicking little.

My boyfriend loves me and he knows I want to keep it but he wants me to get an abortion because his mom will disown him if she finds out. I'm scared. I told him I got an abortion but I keep getting bigger and no one knows I'm pregnant, but they all ask me and it’s getting on my nerves.

I can't have a baby but don't want to get rid of it. I need help to decide if I really want it but I don't want my boyfriend to leave. I don't think he will but I think about it at night.
