Hey,
I am really glad that you contacted TEEN LINE. It sounds like you are going through a lot right now but that you have a good head on your shoulders. What you are facing is incredibly daunting and I completely understand why you are scared. However, it seems like you know for sure that you are not ready to have another baby. You are a young girl who is still trying to discover herself. I would encourage you to get more information on the surgical abortion procedure, maybe if you know more you will be less scared and you'll be able to decide if the abortion is worth the risk. A good place to go for information about pregnancy and abortion is Planned Parenthood. A consultation is free and they are located all over. To find one near you you can call their number (800) 230-7526. I want to commend you for being so strong through all of this. Please, if you ever need to talk more call us here at TEEN LINE. We are open everyday from 6 to 10 pm Pacific Daylight Time and our number is (310) 855-4673.

Thanks,
a TEEN LINE teen

TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey, thanks for contacting us. It must really hard for you to want something so badly but still be waiting for it to happen. You seem really sure about your decision. At the same time, though, it seems you may have some doubts that are keeping you from completely following through. Have you thought of doing pros and cons on how having a baby would affect your life? Also have you told anyone like your parents or another adult how you are feeling? Sounds like you have a lot to think and talk about. It might be really helpful for you to call National Planned Parenthood at 800-230-7526. Also you can call us TEEN LINE at 310-855-4673 6 to 10 pm pst. Hope you call :)

TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
i just moved here i________ and i just found out that i am pregnant and i dont have a doctor i dont know what to do

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey, thanks for emailing TEEN LINE.
I understand why you're feeling scared about what to do, and how to react to the fact that you're pregnant. Is there anybody you can talk to about how you're feeling, and that you're pregnant? Like a close friend, or family member? I know that it can be scary, but it can help talking to somebody. There's a place called Canadian Federation for Sexual Health that can help you with pregnancy, and they can find an office around you. Their number is (613) 241-4474, and their website is www.cfsh.ca. If you need somebody to talk to you can call TEEN LINE at 310-855-4673 and we're open from 6PM to 10PM PST, we'd be glad to talk. Or you can chat with us online.

Hello, I'm really glad that you've contacted us, it sounds like you are very concerned about your safety, and I'm glad that you are seeking out for help. Have you talked with people around you, like a friend or relative? They might have had previous experience about this that might help you, or they could just simply be there for you to hear you out and lend you a shoulder to lean on. I'm worried about your health, do you think you could see your doctor about it? As medical doctors they probably will have better insight about what is going on. Also, there is a place called Planned Parenthood. They provide various services related with pregnancy; you might want to check it out. Their website is www.plannedparenthood.org and you could call them at 800-576-5544. They offer sliding scale, which means that their fees will be adjusted to you so that you can afford it.
