I might be pregnant and i dont know what to do?

Me and my boyfriend had sex but it broke. Anyways. I think I could possibly be pregnant. Like I think 85% chance I am. He's 18 and I'm 16. There's a 3 year difference so dating wouldn't be illegal. But would getting me pregnant be illegal? My mom doesn't like him very much. And I think this could make it even worse. Me and him have been together for 3 years. He's the love of my life. I can not raise a child by myself. I rather have me and my boyfriend raise the kid. What would I tell my parents...and his parents..

Okay ignore that last comment please I know she didn't mean anything mean by it but you already said you want to keep the baby and there's just no reason to make you feel bad about "not being able to support baby" & "hell be worse off". That is absolutely not true. If you want this baby you'll support this baby and he won't he " wont grow up worse" if anything hell appreciate all you did for him!

If you wanted an abortion or adoption that is fine and it is your decision. But you've decided to keep the baby so negative comments aren't what you need right now. You're going to see them everywhere, from people that you didn't think would have much to say. But ignore them.

As far as it being illegal, in Oregon its cutting it a little close. Age of consent there is 18, but if sex occurs between persons aged between 12-18 then its not statutory rape. Had he been older your parents might have been able to charge him but you should be good
