Scared

I am 14. I might be pregnant by my boyfriend. I don`t know what to do. He turned 17 today. If I am pregnant , should we get married?

First before getting very worried - find out wether your pregnant or not.

You could be worried over nothing. Nerves, stress, getting over being sick, unbalanced hormones can all affect your time of the month being late.

My second suggestion to you is - you are way way way to young to think about getting married. Even IF you are pregnant - I would NOT tell you to get married. Wait a few years, see how this guy will be as a father and how responsible he is, and see if he will stick around and love and support you and his child.

Many girls get in your position but dont run out and get married. Trust me I am 37yrs old - marriage is not something to jump into just because you may be pregnant.

Just take one thing at a time instead of jumping in with both feet.

The decisions you make now will affect you the rest of your life !

Kelly,
What should I do if I am pregnant? I am scared to death and so is he. I know he will be a great father. He isn`t like all of the other guys I have ever met. He said if I am he will stay with me unless my parents start some stuff. Onetime, he broke up with his ex-girlfriend and she had her dad say that he raped her and he got in trouble. But he didn`t do it so he got off and the father went to jail. He doesn`t want to go through it again. I vowed to him that I wouldn`t ever let anyone do that to him again. I would never do such a thing. Especially not to him. I love him.

You should NOT get married just because you are pregnant. You can still be together and raise your baby without being married. Wait until you guys are older and start a life together without school and parents to interfere. You have enough responsibility if you have a baby on the way without having to worry abou that. If you guys are going to marry, it will happen whenit is right. Don`t let your baby be the sole reason. GOOD LUCK!
