I am 17, and I am pregnant. Dont scold. The damage has already been done. However, I am not going to keep it. My boyfriend and I have talked about it, and we agreed, that when we chose to have kids, we want them to have a better life than they would right now, while we are both in school, and working. We agreed that this was the right corse.
I cannot tell my parents becuase they are very, conservitive in this area. They would never forgive me if they found out.
But I am really sick. I puke all the time, my stomach hurts more than anything. I get dizzy, lightheaded, and feel like I am going to get sick just about all day.
Is there any way to get rid of the sickness? Any tips that could mak it better, atleast untill I can termanate it?

How far are you in your pregnancy? If you're going to terminate the pregnancy, you need to talk to a doctor and make sure you're not past the point of legal abortion. Otherwise if the pregnancy is past a certain point, and the baby is too developed, you'll have to carry the pregnancy to term.
So aside from talking to a doctor, you'll need to look into your state's/country's legal abortion laws and regulations. Some places require parental consent before the abortion is performed, meaning your parents might find out anyways regardless of whether you want them to or not if you want the abortion.
However, it's still ultimately your decision. And if your parents do end up being notified, don't let them talk you into anything you don't want to do. It's your body, and your life.
I haven't been pregnant, so I don't know a whole lot about morning sickness. I have heard that things like saltine crackers or soup crackers help. Maybe drinking some water might help. When I feel nauseous, I drink ginger ale and sometimes that helps. I don't know if that would be ok for pregnant women though, so you should talk to your doctor about that as well.

I am in my 2nd month right now. I have looked at the laws in oregon, and they are that I dont need to tell my parents, that it is fully covered by medicaid, and that as long as it is not in the 3rd trimester (long time from now) I can have it aborted. Thank you. I have had alot of people... having very negitive views on my choice. But I belive this is th best way. I will try the crackers. I have heard those are supposed to help. I am trying to drink alot, but I hate pee'ing every hour.
