if you do not belive in abortion, then do not get an abortion. you have to live with yourself. ultimately, you will face the rest of your life with the knowledge of what you did.

i understand your fear becuase i feel the same way. but one piece of advice for you. and my advice is based on this: "I would be stuck with two kids no high school diploma because where i live doesnt have many options for school after pregnancy but i was trained to be a mechanic at a technical school here."

you have many options avialable to you. you can first get started on getting a GED. you can take courses online if there are no opportunities for you where you live, and you can get student loans to go to a community college or get more advanced technical training. you can get a pell grant and often scholarships for single mothers as well. you can also get public assistnace for whatever you need including healthcare before and after the baby is born.

here is info on the GED:

i see it everyday because i am a college professor - i have many students who were single moms your age. in fact, one of them is now getting a phd herself... 10 years after her son was born.

just do not let fear control you. do not let fear force you into a decision you can not live with.
