I am currently sixteen and I've been dating the same guy for about a year and five months. We've used condoms and I've been on and off different types of birth control (pills, ring, etc.) and I kept having weird reactions to them that are not normal. That's why I stop taking them and my mother never toke me back into the doctor to try another one.

I just found out about four to five days ago that I am pregnant. I am a bit shocked but I feel so thrown out into the world because it feels as though my best friend (whom I told) has decided to tell one other person. I told my parents a day after I found out, after I peed on five different pregnancy testers; I know five is a lot but my boy friend wanted to make sure. I had thought two lines meant you were not but I had told him the result just as conversation and then he made me pee on another then it turns out two lines means you are. Ha ha, I felt so oblivious.

My parents support me, my boy friend support me (He's like WAY protective now, he doesn't even want me to drive by myself), my grandparents on both sides support me, my uncles and aunts, even my brother support me. Which is great-I know, but I am only sixteen. I've done my 9th, 10th and now I will be a senior this year sense I'm skipping my junior year. I'm so afraid of what people will think, what people will say and do. My school isn't very big-it has about only 600-700 students. I helped varsity football and my current boy friend graduated this year. I'm worried that if I help the football team again that when the guys find out they may be "stupid" and throw footballs at me on purpose but I don't want to give up everything I do in high school, and now that I'm a senior too.

I am keeping the baby, Me and my boy friend had planned on getting married after I graduated even before we found out that I was pregnant. He will be joining the military around May (he had already planned to), I currently don't know how far a long I am but the doctor said she thought i am 6 1/2-7 weeks-I won't be able to find out to I go to the OB in about 8 weeks. ): He's so excited and I am too in a sense but I am so worried. I don't have the thickest skin so I'm worried that I may cause myself to have a miscarriage due to stress.

I know I've typed a lot, I haven't included every detail but I believe you (people) may get the basics of what I'm saying. Any suggestions on a way to relieve stress, Thoughts on the subject? Etc.
