For young people in particular, the prospect of an unwanted
pregnancy is overwhelming and daunting. Individuals who find
themselves in this situation may have varied reactions. While some
welcome the new arrival, others feel trapped as if they have lost
control of their life and they may be afraid to break the news to
their parents. Someone experiencing an unwanted pregnancy will need
to know they still have a choice in the matter - talking to their
partner or a trusted friend may be of assistance in arriving to a
decision and preparing for its consequences.
