Dear iamcool0808,
You need to hook up with some help ASAP. Unfortunately, I'm not the kinda help you need. How do you know you're 5 weeks pregnant? Did you take a home test or did you go to a clinic. Cuz if you've taken a home pregnancy test and that's all, you need to get yourself to a doctor. The thing 'bout the home test is they're not really reliable. The test itself is pretty accurate... so much so that many doctors and clinics use them. But the test can give a false result when the instructions aren't followed properly. I guess what I'm tryin' to say is, when you're nervous you can make mistakes.

You still need to deal with this AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I know you don't want to hear this but you should talk to your mom. She is the best person in the world to help you. She loves you and you know she's got the experience... she's had babies of her own. And if you're scared that she's gonna wig, well come on you're her baby, of course she's gonna wig. But she's still your mom and she loves you and she will want to help you. If you really can't face your 'rents, talk to a doctor or maybe your fave teacher at school. The point is, you need an adult in your corner.

You've got another issue you need to deal with quickly. I'm guessing you had unprotected sex, which means you may have contracted an STD. Sexually Transmitted Diseases are no joke girl. AIDS is an STD. If you are old enough to have sex (and I don't think you are,) you are old enough to take responsibility for your health.
