Dont even do it for yourself, do it for the child, dont make your baby grow to be as ed up as you are, no offense but pregnate at 15, thats ed up, and ed up parents raise ed up kids alot of the time. |
Not always the case, sometimes its just ignorant parents who get ed up kids, or sometimes the kid is just really ed outta his mind, some of the worlds most notorious serial killers were raised by normal families. I dont think its impossible to have a kid at 15 or 16, were just brainwashed to think otherwise, my grandmother, my aunt and my cousin all had their first kids at 16 (some stupid tradition of adolenscent whoreness) and back a few hundred years ago, having a child at 16 was the norm, and if you think now is rough times, they had their really bad. |

you know... there's these little things. They come in a pack and they look like tiny candy. You don't even have to use water to swallow them. They're called contraceptive pills.
Oh and also... there's these things, they're rubber, and kinda long when you unroll them. You can make balloons out of them too, but generally, a guy puts in on before he has sex with someone. Those are called condoms.
And you... are called stupid. |

since condoms arent really working for you, use birth control at least. and if that happens again with unprotected sex, theres something called the morning after pill. but u must take it within 3 days of having intercourse for it to work, and stop a pregnancy from occuring. |
Ugh, this is why the Fundies must go (from our government).
George W. dated a 15 year old girl when he was 27, but now he thinks they aren't mature enough to choose their own reproductive health decisions.
:rolleyes:

Plan B Won't Be Sold Over Counter
FDA: Contraceptive Needs More Testing
By Marc Kaufman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 7, 2004; Page A01
The Food and Drug Administration yesterday rejected over-the-counter sales of the emergency contraceptive Plan B, saying the distributor had not proved that young teenagers can take the drug safely without a doctor's guidance.
The decision was an unusual repudiation of the lopsided recommendation of the agency's own expert advisory panel, which voted 23 to 4 late last year that the drug should be sold over the counter and then, that same day, 27 to 0 that the drug could be safely sold as an over-the-counter medication.
The denial was a major goal of social conservatives, including members of Congress who lobbied President Bush on the issue. Reproductive-rights advocates lobbied equally hard for its approval, and yesterday they criticized the decision as misguided and a historic blot on the reputation of the FDA as a science-based agency.
In a letter to Barr Laboratories, the agency said the application was denied because only 29 of the 585 women studied by the company were younger than 16 -- a sample that was too small to assess safety.
The agency held out the possibility of a future approval if the company could prove the drug is safe for young girls or devise a plan that would keep Plan B on by-prescription-only status for girls younger than 16. In its letter, the FDA said that keeping the drug prescription-only for adolescents had been discussed with the company, but that not enough information was provided on how that might be accomplished.
"Clearly we're disappointed," said Barr CEO Bruce L. Downey, who had told investors last week that he expected an "approvable" letter from the FDA. "But the FDA has also provided us with pathways to a future approval, and we are committed to following the pathways until we get this product on the market over-the-counter."
He said he thought it would take "months rather than years" to come up with a new plan.
The FDA had no comment last night but will hold a news conference today to explain its decision. The "not approvable" letter was signed by acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Steven K. Galson, not by members of the FDA review team, as is usual. Former officials of the FDA said that generally means that the review team had made a different recommendation.
Plan B consists of two high doses of a hormone used for birth control called levonorgestrel, which has been shown to prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours after having sex. Unlike Mifeprex, or RU-486, it is not considered by the medical profession to be an abortion pill, because it prevents a pregnancy from starting. Advocates of wider use say it would result in a decline in unwanted pregnancies and abortions.
Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America, which actively opposed the Plan B switch, said yesterday that she was "pleased that the FDA has put women's health above politics. We had exposed numerous problems with easy access to the morning-after pill, from the potential physical harm to women to the possibility of being used to abuse women."
"There's too much potential for harm to women and girls if it's easily available," she said. "It's the right decision to not have it next to candy bars and toothpaste."
Earlier this week, the main organizations that represent doctors who specialize in treating women -- including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists -- said all the scientific questions about the safety and proper use of Plan B had been resolved and only politics would keep it from being approved.
In a pointed editorial published last month in the New England Journal of Medicine, the editor and two members of the FDA advisory panel that supported the application also wrote that the agency's actions indicate that its "decision-making process is being influenced by political considerations."
"Although the FDA is frequently criticized by politicians and others for being either too lenient or too tough . . . the integrity of the process has seldom been questioned," the editorial said. "To squander that trust by allowing political pressure to delay a decision to make safe and effective emergency contraception available over the counter seems to us a serious error."
Kirsten Moore, president of the Reproductive Health Technologies Project, said the FDA was being unfair in turning down the application because of limited data on younger users.
"Yes, the data on women 16 and under is limited, but that's because use is very limited," she said. "The FDA is supposed to make risk-benefit decisions about the public health, and it was absolutely clear that women would be best served by easier access to emergency contraception."
Amy Allina, project director for the National Women's Health Network, expressed the anger many in the women's health community said they felt. "It's quite outrageous and flies in the face of the scientific evidence. This has happened because of politics in this election year. They're pandering to the anti-choice extremists."
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, linked the Plan B issue to the larger abortion debate. "FRC applauds the FDA for putting the safety of American women and girls above the wishes of the pro-abortion lobby, and we encourage them to hold their ground," he said in a statement.
"Women taking the birth control pill consult with their doctors once a year for medical check-ups," Perkins said in a statement. "The morning-after pill is 50 times stronger, and yet over-the-counter access would have allowed women and girls to take this dangerous drug without any medical oversight."
Barr CEO Downey said publicity about Plan B's application in recent months had led to a sharp increase in the number of prescriptions for it. He said about 10,000 emergency contraception prescriptions are written monthly -- double the number from 10 months ago -- and additional supplies are distributed in clinics. |

Okay.
I don't know you, and I'm not trying to be mean, but...
To me, you really just came across as the type of chick that tells a guy she's with, or, her friends that she think she might be pregnant, for the sole purpose of attention.
I could be absolutely wrong, but I think that if I were to find myself in the same situation, I'd not ask advice from strangers on an internet messageboard. NO matter HOW cool all of the people are.
If you really want to discuss this, I'm older (28- yes, I'm ancient), and I would love to lend an ear if you wanted to discuss certain matters. But honestly, even though this is a semi-anonymous-not-really-social situation, I would advise ALL of you to not air such personal matters in this type of forum. 1- you could get (and take) some really bad advice, and 2- you'll always be remembered as "that crazy person that did "this and that".
Good luck to yo. |

Excellent advice. Due to your age, I sincerely think that you should speak with an adult about this matter. If you are not close with your parents, what about an aunt? A friend of the family? A teacher?
You don't want to talk only to other kids your age about this, because you might end up making a decision that you will regret, OR, make a decision from some ill advice, and end up in a much more devistating situation. |
