Pregnancy - Teens Support Group
This community is dedicated to the experience of being pregnant as a teenager. Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as women in their 20s and 30s. However, there are additional medical concerns for younger mothers, particularly those under 15 and those living in developing countries. For mothers between 15 and 19, age in itself is not a risk factor,...

I don't know if I think a girl's parents should be told or not, I guess each situation is so different. But I do know there are so so many complex and painful emotions you feel when you are considering a termintion. It's the hardest desician you could ever make and for someone so young to face that desician I think must be so hard on the girl, I'm 18 and I have no idea how I would have coped if I was 3 years younger when I was trying to make my mind up.I tell my mum everything, I'm lucky that she's so open minded and non-judgemental, and I feel really sorry for the girls who don't feel they can turn to their mums. The main problem, I'm trying to say, is that its a very, very important and painful desician tomake, and if the doctor thinks the girl would benefit from her parents knowing then maybe that would be for the best.

An abortion is an incredibly hard thing to go through, be it 15 or 25. Lets not even mention the physical problems that can go along with it, (i.e bleeding, infertility etc) but an abortion brings along many painful thoughts into a womens head and I think that this can lead to several mental issues if not addressed with properly. I think that a young women in that position needs to have the support of her parents in a decision like that. Sorry to say, if you cant tell your parents you are pregnant and that you need an abortion you shouldn't be in the postion of needing an underage abortion. I however grew up in a home where I could tell my mom anything and I hope my daughter grows up to feel the same comfort with me. (she better not be having sex until she is like 26 tho, lol)

So I just had another thought. I am all for teenage girls taking responcibilty for their actions. I think that having an abortion at such a young age (and while not telling there parents) is almost like running away from the consequences of sex. Does that make sence? Pregnancy is not something you can "make go away" like it never happend, I think that young girls may have an idealistic veiw that abortion is the cure-all for pregnancy and wonder if in certain cases may lead to an inability to take responcibility for actions later on in life

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
