Hey, thanks for contacting TEEN LINE.
It's understandable why you're feeling worried about what's going to happen. Have you spoken to your girlfriend about how you're feeling and that what she did (lying to you about her age, and about her other boyfriend) has effected you. Is there anybody you can talk to ? Maybe siblings or a best friend? Or if you have a school counselor he/she might be able to tell you about a planned parenthood that you can go to. I know that it's scary but it might help telling your parents about what's happened because then they can help you plan what to do. If you need to talk to somebody you can call TEEN LINE at 310-855-4673 or chat online with us. We're open from 6PM to 10PM PST.

TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
Well, my problem is both about pregnancy and relationships. I got my girlfriend pregnant. She got pregnant about a month and a half while we were dating. We didn't find out about it until two weeks after she got pregnant. I offered to marry her, drop out of the Air Force for her. She said she would marry me, but three weeks past and she dumped me. We started dating in October and she broke up with me in December. She was the one who told me she loved me first and after five months of not seeing her, because she really didn't to see me until now, I want her back. What do I do to convince her? Help, because i lost my girlfriend, my job, and now Air Force. They kicked me out because a single father can't join the Air Force. She's been trying to keep me out of my son's life every step of the way. She's only 22 weeks now. But still.

Hey,
Thanks for contacting TEEN LINE. Wow, it sounds like you are going through a tough situation now. It must be hard to not be a part of your sons life. Have you tried showing your girlfriend how much you want to be a part of your child's and her life? You could try letting her know what you would do as a father or bring her to parenting classes. Also, have you talked to your parents about all of this? They might be able to help if they know what's going on. If you want to talk more, give us a call at 310-855-4673 we're open every night from 6-10 pst.

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,

TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
iam 15 and i desperatly want a baby!i kno being a teenage mom wud b though but i have wanted 1 4 like 2 years and i dont think i can wait

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 :)
