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

Hey! I cannot imagine how you are feeling right now. It is not the most pleasant of situation to be in, especially you’re not at the right life stage or financial standing to be able to provide for this baby. I understand the shame and isolation that this pregnancy may bring to you and the types of comments you might end up attracting. However, I hope you give it a bit more thought before deciding on any move. Abortion may solve the current issues at hand but down the road, the guilt you feel could eat you up and you may end up spiralling. It could end up worst than the current shame and isolation that you feel. If you are afraid to speak to your parents first, there are organizations that help woman in such situations to find support for eg. A safe place. I hope it helps.
