Is teen pregnancy really that wrong? Can I not keep my child? Why do people shame young mothers?

I'm 20 still schooling, but I'm6 weeks pregnant with my boyfriend's. I'm loving every moment of my pregnancy especially can't wait to see my little baby bump. But sadly I have to abort the child before I'm 6 months pregnant. This was the plan because I am financially unstable to support the baby and my boyfriend too. I know I will be fine if I go for abortion but does anyone thinks otherwise? Should I keep my baby? I'm not even sad about having this child while I should feel guilty. I wish I could keep this baby but for now i have to do whats right to prevent shame, isolation or the possibility of my parents kicking me out of house. #advicepls

I believe there are sources of help for lower income parents. You can explore them. You can also take a gap year from school during your pregnancy. Your own parents and your boyfriends' parent will likely help out with the finances if you open up to them about this matter. Pls consider getting their help. Of course they'll be upset initially but no parent will kick out their own pregnant daughter. There'll be a part of them deep down that appreciates your courage to speak to them about such a big matter. It's a blessing to be able to get pregnant. I'm in my early 30s, took a couple of tries before finally getting pregnant, and I envy those who got pregnant easily, and at a younger age.
