A pregnant teen has three options
1. Abortion
2. Adoption
3. Become a mother.
I chose to become a mother after thinking hard about my three choices. Abortion was out of the question and I could not go through with adoption, so motherhood was my best decision =D I was only 14 at the time I made this

I’d recommend that anyone considering abortion should go to a counselor, who can talk through her options.
I think the best option is to keep and raise the baby. If her family and/or boyfriend is supportive then that would make it easier. And it would be possible for her to finish school or college, since there are plenty of daycare facilities now, and financial support for mothers if she needs it.
The other option is adoption. There are different types of adoption, like open adoption etc.
