Well, first things first, I would take that pregnancy test to determine whether or not you're pregnant.

Hypotheically here, if you are pregnant, here's some advice on what you do:

1. Tell those who are important to you: i.e. parents, boyfriend, friends, whomever. If you tell your parents, they can get you to a doctor to confirm the pregnancy, to make sure everything is okay, and to prescribe you prenatal vitamins which play an essential role during the pregnant.
2. Visit www.plannedparenthood.org for some more information on options. You can find a location near you, make an appointment and visit with them and they can discuss your options with you. You have 3 options: keeping the baby, abortion or adoption.

• Keeping the baby: Obviously, this is going to be option one if you don't believe in adoption or abortion. This doesn't mean you have to throw all your college dreams away. You just might not be able to go to an out of state college, or a college that is so far away. Hopefully, with supportive parents, they may help care for the baby while you're in school, but if not, you'd have to seek child care elsewhere, which can be extremely expensive. Also, keeping a baby is also very expensive. Babies cost thousands and thousands of dollars a year, as babies grow quickly, need food, diapers, and other essentials that are not cheap. This is an option you'd want to discuss with your parents if you're pregnant, to see if they'd be willing to help you out. If not, finding a good job and putting your college dream on hold for the time being would be best. You could always go back.
• Adoption: This may be a better option for you if you're indeed pregnant, and don't believe in abortions. There are two kinds of adoptions, which an adoption agency could give you better information on, but I can sum them up here. Open adoptions consist of you having contact with the baby and their family. They can send you photo's, letters and e-mail on the child's progress, and if they'd like, could even schedule visits for you to see the baby. Of course, an open adoption is for the adoptive parents to choose. You could say you'd like to find a family who are more open to open adoptions, but remember that you'd no longer be the parent, and they have the option of changing it from an open adoption to a closed one if they wish. The next one is a closed adoption. Pretty self-explanatory. You would have no contact with the baby or their adoptive parents. The child could find you if they wish later in their life, but until that time is chosen, you would have no contact with them whatsoever.
• Abortion: Probably the most challenging of all options. I'm sure you know about them, and the lovely workers at Planned Parenthood could give you more detailed information on it.

Once you find out if you're pregnant or not, it's best to talk out these options with your parents, your boyfriend and his parents and see which one works best for you. Make sure you and your boyfriend make the final decisions, since it's your body and your child and you're the parent. The decisions are going to be ultimately up to you at that point.

I hope this helped.
