Alright, I'm 17 years old and I'm a freshman in college. My life has been pretty great, up until yesterday. My 16 year old EX-girlfriend is now pregnant and shes about 4/5 weeks late with her period. She was on the pill, but occasionally there were some days where she missed it.
I met with her yesterday before she went on vacation for a week and that's when she dropped the bomb on me. I told her how I think she should have an abortion because of her weight (100-ish pounds), we both smoke cigarettes and I AM NOT ready for this kind of responsibility. The thing is, she loves me alot and I can see her having this baby because...well you know how girls get.
I told her yesterday that I loved her because I'd be a pretty big ******* to say that I didn't want to be with her when she is going through this. I made her promise to me that she would at least THINK about having an abortion, but she got stressed when I tried to convince her about it. Her mom is a strict catholic, and she listens to pretty much everything her mom says. She says she would "never be able to live with herself" if she got an abortion.
I simply don't know what to do guys...I'm Muslim and I can't talk to either of my parents about it simply because I'm too scared. I don't want my first kid to be a bastard, nor do I want him/her raised by my EX girlfriend and her mom.
WHAT SHOULD I DO? Moral repercussions aside, how can I convince her that getting an abortion is the best thing to do? I feel like i just hit rock bottom, I can't drive, I can't do anything, my mind is consumed with this and its driving my insanity away second by second, I can feel it. Helppp
