| Unfortunately whenever you have sex your taking a risk of getting pregnant, condom or not... Thats why its important to understand the consequences of sex before you have it.
While my friends were having sex at 15-16, I was a virgin and remained one until I was 20. Why you ask? Because I KNEW i could not handle the consequences in my teens along with facing the WRATH of my Dad....if I would have gotten pregnant.......and even though I lost a few bfs for saying "no", I don't regret my decision to wait. As for my friends....two out of three of them had kids by the time they were 18. I mean they basically gave up their youth at such a young age. My friends don't regret their kids, but with they would have come when they were well into their 20s... Like right about now...
I do give you credit for standing by your gf now. Its the right thing to do. As for an abortion, Its not something I would EVER want to go thru...but I guess its a womans choice. If I were 16, I know for sure I WOULD NOT be ready to raise a child... EVEN now at almost 25 yrs old, I don't think I would be... but now at least I'm to that age where Im more stable etc... If I were to get pregnant now, I would just take responsibility for the child and raise them the best I could...
Best of luck to the both of you...and just be there for her.
