Question
ok well I'm 16 now and i just found out that I'm 4 weeks pregnant i really don't know what to do help i haven't told my boyfriend yet

Answer
Dear Autumn,

Unless you can afford to support yourself and a child in your own home, you should either have an abortion or give the child up for adoption.  That is what I would do.  Anything else is unfair to the future child.
