No. But if you've ever read up on some of the most definitive studies on teen pregnancy, the odds are badly stacked against both mother and child.
AND my bum, legs and lower back, which don't deserve to be cart-whacked.

There is one other problem with teenage pregnancies.
If you do what is best for the child, some people will call you selfish, a horrible person, and you did not do what was right. Also you are evil. How could you even think of doing that. You should keep that child and no we won't help. I will disown you if you give up that child.
Yes, I heard all those things personally.
I was lucky in I had support for my decision too.
My son was raised by the most wonderful couple. They thought it showed great maturity on my part to do what was best for him. Both of them have told me, that was the most unselfish thing I ever did. I gave my son to his dad's parents. I knew they were the best choice.
Anyway there is my two cents.
