Okay, let’s start, I’m 16 years old, and I’m a woman. I have had a stable partner for 2 years. The problem is that a few days ago I found out that I was pregnant, it’s not more than 4 weeks but I’m still worried. Obviously I am not magically pregnant, I have not used the necessary protection methods. I have already made an appointment with the abortion clinic. In my country and at my age I can do it without any consent from my parents, so I made the decision not to tell anyone except my boyfriend and the doctors.
The only reason I’m telling it here is to vent why the only one I can talk to is my boyfriend. That I love him and all, but I need both advice and support from other people.
First of all, telling my parents or something similar is not an option.
Thank you if you’ve read this and I would appreciate any advice.

If you had a daughter of the same age and situation, would you feel like you had the right to know?
As a grown woman, please don’t do this to your self. What you THINK you know is a lie. Allow your frontal lobe to develop before making a decision that will impact & change your whole life. Even if you claim to have dating stability, men always hope for the illusion of CHOICE.
Do what’s best for you. If you think it’s safer for you to keep it from them then that’s what you need to do.
Don’t feel like you’re doing something wrong. Given your age this is likely the right idea just, learn from it. You may not feel comfortable telling your parents and that’s fine maybe one day you will and maybe you never will. That’s ok either way.
You are making the right decision.
You don’t want to be the one who has a perfect excuse when his/her life goes to shit.
I am not implying that you will do anything like that. But the things that are convenient tend to happen.
And lastly your boyfriend, he is not ready to be a father 🙂↕️. If someone is not responsible enough to avoid this big of a mistake then please don’t give him this big of a responsibility.
Hope you aren’t feeling guilty.✨
