parents continue to push for an abortion?

I'm 13 and pregnant. My parents are economically doing well. I have no work experience. But I know I want the aby. I don't get why I shouldn't have my baby. I was sexually assaulted I didn't try to cause this. But I know it would just be worst if I had an abortion. Why can't I have my baby? What can I do to make parenting a possiility how can I convince them nothing seems to work. Help??

maybe because they already had their children and they dont want to raise more? you are young, still in school, and have no job so obviously it would have to be them to take care of it.

They can't force you to have an abortion. You will have to look for support from others and look into government assistance. In your case, I would say abortion or adoption aren't bad options. Good luck.

ETA: What do you plan on doing with a baby at 13? Who will watch it while you're at school? Are you going to be up with it all night and wake up at 7 AM for school? There are a lot of things you need to consider before saying "I know I want this baby.

In your situation, I would opt for an adoption at this point, if you are so agaqisnt abortion.

You may feel like you can parent...but honey, you're still a kid yourself and have NO WAY to support that baby.

Wish you the best.

Is she even old enough for government assistance??

I would abort if it was me.

Because you are 13. You're still a baby yourself. Abortion or adoption is the smartest thing you can do right now for yourself, and the most selfless thing you can do for your baby.

Would you consider adoption?

Awwwwwwww honey I'm sorry you were assaulted but they are thinking that it might be for the best. Are you sure you want this child it is going to be hard.

What, are you in like 8th grade?
If you don't want to have an abortion, maybe you should consider adoption.
At 13 you are incapable of caring for your child properly with 4 more years of HIGH school.
Remember, your parents are the ones that are going to have to pay for this child. Most businesses won't even hire 13 year olds. If your parents don't want to pay for another child they didn't intend to have, I don't blame them.

They will be raising your baby. You will need them financially, and to help with sitting. Ultimately the choice is yours, but let's be realistic here- they will be paying not only for your medical bills, but for ALL other expenses. They deserve for you to consider their opinion. They want what's best for you.

Your parents can't force you to abort, but you can't be a parent right now and there is no way for the baby to live since you can't support them and your parents shouldn't have to and don't want to.

You can talk them into open adoption, perhaps. Talk to a school counselor and they can help talk to your parents.

This sounds like a very rough and sad situation. You went through a lot. But honestly, I don't think there is a way to convince your parents. They probably just want to see you do well in life. It is very hard to graduate high school and go off to college when you have a child, especially at 13. Also, if you aren't working, it puts a hardship on them to have to help raise another child. It could be hurting them to see how hard things will be for you because of something horrible that happened to you.

If you don't see yourself being able to go through an abortion, maybe looking into open adoption. I know you want to raise your child but think about the future both you and your child would have. You can still be somewhat involved in your child's life in certain open adoptions. Try to weight out all of your options.

I know this isn't exactly what you want to hear but trying figure out all the pros and cons of each option can help you see what is best. Good luck with whatever you choose. It's your choice and no one else but it is a very hard decision.

It is not a puppy dog, that kid will be with you for life. I think abortion would be the best option long term for you. It may sound tough now, but you will thank them when you are walking across that stage getting your diploma and go straight to the graduation parties without having to worry about your 5 year old at home. Trust me.

There is always time for babies once you are stable and out on your own. Now isnt the time.

I agree 100% I was 14 when i had my first child due to being molested. My parents allowed me to keep her but i struggled to care for her every single day! I am now 21 with 3 children and it's not any easier now that i am an adult than it was when i was still a child. Adoption is really a great option. I don't regret keeping her but i know my parents wouldn't of had so much stress on them if i decided not to keep her! Good luck!
