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

i understand your fear of facing your angry parents. you should also consider how eager your bf is to "dispose" of this baby and what it shows you about the kind of person he is. in the end its you who will feel the pain and recovery after the abortion, not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well. not him. terminating a pregnancy has lifelong lasting impact on the mothers and you should consider this. how you cope with it and the amount of support you will need after the surgery is also important. post-partum depression applies to not just miscarriages, pregnancy loss but abortions too. if you are concerned about raising the child, may i suggest you carry it to full term and giving it up for adoption to those who have been yearning for a child but unable to have one on their own? there are many types of adoption. it can be sealed or open adoption, depending on whether you want to give the child the option to reconnect with you when the child is older.
