Today, my 14-year-old daughter told me she's pregnant and plans on dropping out of school to live a life on the road with her boyfriend. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, my 14-year-old step-daughter announced that she is 4 months pregnant. The father is my 15-year-old son. FML
Today, I found out that my daughter not only has a boyfriend, but that they're trying for a baby. She's barely 15. FML
Rebel
Today, my 15 year-old daughter decided that the best way to indulge her rebellious impulses was to sleep with the 30-something convict down the street, get pregnant, and try to convince him to let her move in. FML
Today, not only did I find out that my 13 year-old daughter is pregnant, I found out that she did it on purpose "to prove that she’s responsible." FML
Today, my daughter's 14-year-old boyfriend confessed, in front of her, that he only went out with her so he might have a chance to date me. My daughter isn't speaking to me. FML
Sex Ed is a mess
Today, my daughter told me that she’s pregnant with twins. It would be an exciting piece of news, except for the fact that she’s a sophomore in high school. FML
Disappointment
Today, I feel like I’ve failed as a parent. My brilliant college-bound daughter is throwing her life and future away to play “step-mama” with her scummy dropout boyfriend. The loser is 17 with three kids but my daughter is absolutely smitten. Neither my husband nor I can make her change her mind. FML
And yet they say romance is dead…
Today, my daughter and her boyfriend deliberately got pregnant, because they found out if she claimed to be a single mom, she could get a council house and free benefits, and then just move him in with her. They're both 15. FML
Her body, her choice
Today, I took my daughter to the hospital for a few tests, and it turns out that she's pregnant. She has always said that she doesn't want kids, but I hoped that already being pregnant might change her mind. She called to schedule an abortion during the drive back home. FML
Today, I picked my 12-year-old daughter up from school after her first sexual education lecture. She burst into tears on the way home explaining her fears of being pregnant with her boyfriend's child. As if that doesn't sound bad enough, I've met her boyfriend before. He is imaginary. FML

Time for some strict parenting! This is your chance to set her on the right path, to define the rest of her life :)

At least there's a spot for her on MTV.

Tell her to go for it and see how it turns out for her. Once she sees how ridiculous her idea is I'm sure she'll want to come back home.

How long will that take? You are saying send a 14 year old who is pregnant with a child off with her boyfriend to travel around. There are SO many things that could go wrong with that.

I agree with this. My sister and cousin went to run away when they were around 15ish, needlessly to say they didn't last very long.

Get her a psychiatrist immediately.

I'm not saying it's your fault but you failed as a parent.

A parent can only do so much. Even when you instill good moral values, shit still happens. You can only guide them, raise them the best you can but in the end they are the ones making the decisions when you're not around. You can only hope for the best while bracing yourself for the worst.

Why? It's completely OPs daughter's fault for having unsafe sex.. I'm pretty sure the mother wasn't in the background telling her it's ok she doesn't really need that condom

Damn #15, that's cold...considering that children do have their own minds and sometimes do whatever they want to do no matter what their parents say, and in most cases, are willing to suffer the consequences later. You're saying that you aren't saying it's her fault but she failed as a parent...that's confusing as hell because where I come from it sounds like you're saying it's her fault because she failed as a parent. How can it not be her fault in this case by your apparent negative judgement??? Makes no sense for you to say that.

Do not try to be the cool mom. I say whoop her butt on the way to planned parenthood/abortion clinic

In the words of Lenny from the cartoon movie "Shark Tales", "It's not ok to hit!!!!"

16- I agree that a big, serious talk needs to be had, but you can't force someone to have an abortion, even if they are young.

No way, OPs kid obviously wants to keep the child. Forcing her to have an abortion is only one way to create life long resentment. OP needs to support her daughters choices on keeping the child, but guiding her to make responsible life decisions along the way aka not dropping out of school

"And I'm proud to be an American! Where at least I know I'm free." No seriously I've lost all hope...

14? How olds the boyfriend (statutory rapist)?
interesting33 37
Yes!! If he can drive and wants to go on the road I want to know how old he is

It's statutory if the boyfriend is over 18. Which is possible, but not a given.

Actually the age of consent varies from state to state. Using Florida as an example, the age of consent is 18 but 16 & 17 yo can consent as long as it's with someone under the age of 23. And under the Romeo and Juliet law, 14 yo can consent as long as the person is no more than 4 years older. So if this happened in FL, it wouldn't be considered statutory rape.

insted on blaming parents, we should blame her, as she's been hanging out with wrong kids. there are lot of great parents with bad kids.....maybe its just how i see.....
