TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
How do you cope with the pain of an abortion?

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey, thanks for contacting TEEN LINE. I'm wondering what kind of "pain" you are talking about; and if its because you have experienced it. If it is physical pain then I encourage you to call planned parenthood at 800-230-7526. If it is emotional pain, abortion could be an overwhelming experience for a person, and to cope with it, someone would probably want someone to talk to like a therapist, or a trusted family member or friend. Maybe finding support systems would help that situation as well. It seems like it would help to talk about, so I encourage you to call TEEN LINE at 800-852-8336. The line is open from 6 to 10 PST.
