Like I stated in the title I'm 19 (20 in November) and I'm starting my 2nd year of college this month. I found out 3 days ago that I'm 6 weeks pregnant. After a really hard time I told my mom, boyfriend, and 6 of my closest and most supportive friends. My mom right away expressed her opinion of me not keeping it, and my boyfriend isn't sure what to do, but he doesn't want to tell his parents yet. Now I told my friends about terminating the pregnancy and at first they seemed supportive. 2 of the 6 are expecting, 2 already have sons younger than two years old, and the other 2 aren't planning on kids for a while. Things seemed to get ugly fast, 4/6 basically told me I wasn't making the right choice, that I'm being stupid and I should go through with the pregnancy and that people we know have done it and so can I. . . I somewhat agree with them but the people we know have had a way more supportive family than myself... and I'm not in the best situation right now.
Both of my parents don't work very much, my mom's a struggling real estate agent and my dad just open up a hamburger shop this summer which means no health insurance. Neither of my parents talk to each other and both depend on their parents (my grandparents) about 95%. Both sets of my grandparents are over 60, and are paying for my college expenses out of pocket. I feel like it would be terrible for me to ask them to help pay for another person. I was already not doing too well in school and my family is basically giving me a second chance to not mess up again before I'm out on my own. I feel like this pregnancy would make it official and I'd have to depend on my self. I don't work and have been looking for a job for months.
I'm scared and really need advice.
