Sure no prob. Just seriously consider what we are all saying. I mean are you really ready to deal with a pregnancy? If not then take all the measures to prevent one. Because once you do become pregnant....then everything will change...
My friends both went thru it at 17....and even though they love their kids very much....they both struggled ALOT while everyone else was out having fun or worrying about college etc. And both of them ended up not staying with the guy......(one of them got married even). Its mainly because it all happened too fast and at such a young age.... Why do that to yourself if there are ways to prevent it?
Another friend of mine went thru with an abortion as well(in high school). She knew she couldn't deal with having a kid at her age.... So she took the easy way out.....which later she admits was not easy at all.( I could only imagine.) Everytime she sees my other friends 5 yr old daughter....it tears her up inside to think about the baby that she killed who would be about the same age.
Why bother even taking a chance? Do you really want to end up in these situations?
