That is not up for anyone on yahoo answers to decide. In the future just make sure to use birth control and have the guy wear a condom.

I think that depends on how you feel and what you believe. Personally, I would not wish the decision of whether or not to have an abortion on anyone. It would have to be a terrible choice to make. The best thing is to learn from your mistake and move forward. Take the necessary steps to ensure that you do not get pregnant until you are ready (birth control, condoms, etc.).

Okay, listen. What is done is done. There is nothing you can do about the past but learn from it. Next time, be prepared. Don't let yourself get in those situations anymore, you are risking ALOT, more than just getting pregnant. You are risking your life out there... You should think about being with someone you really care about before you make decisions like that again. Just take care of yourself honey, you have to be easier on yourself. For your body this young, it is not good to be having to make those type of decisions. Protect yourself, cause in the end, no man will be there for you to take away the pain of having a baby or an abortion. Just be careful next time, and what is done is done for a reason, to learn.

I do not think you are wrong at all. Plenty of people decide to do what you did because they are too young and they cannot handle a child. If you were absolutely forced against your will, then even further, whoever forced you was wrong. I do not think you have sinned. I think you will be ok, and when the time is right, so will everything else.

It was a sin, but as Romans 3:23 says, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 5:8 says "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." We all make mistakes, and God isn't any less willing to forgive us for our sins whether they be big or small. God loves you whatever you do, and that's important to remember. If you ask for forgiveness of your sins, God will grant you forgiveness. You've already taken a big step by being concerned enough to ask this question, and to receive God's grace, all you need to do is believe and confess that Jesus loved you enough to die on the cross for your sins. I took that step a long time ago and it's great not having to live with the burden of my sins and knowing that I will have eternal life. It's very comforting. I will be in prayer for you, and feel free to email me if you have any questions.

well as a catholic i do think that was a massive sin yes... but nothing than cannot be forgiven of....if you wish to rectify.

and its nothing i condemn for...because i have my own wrongdoings to correct.

being young doesnt mean that your not at fault, everything is all up to you. If no one put a gun to your head, you still have the right to make your own choice. so what if your being force into it, you make your own decision. even god can't force you to kill a person right? get the point?

Vanesha, it is not my place to judge you. What matters is how you feel. Right now, you have a heart full of tears, but time is a great healer. Good luck.
