was I the only one who thought it was a shonen ai
Uhh a little bit if a correction there.
You got Yaoi right. It's gay but with hardcore porn. It's like gay porn with no plot.
Shounen ai does mean boys love, but shounen means young boys, so shounen ai is tagged to works that have love between young boys or has a young boy as a love interest.
BL is just Boys Love for all things gay and has plot and isn't around young boys. So basically majority of what we read is BL, not shounen ai and yaoi.
That's all I gotta say, took this info from an article.
Shounen ai and yaoi are all part of the bl gender the different is
Shounen ai like the other person said is more about young love, it more centered on the romantic side of the story with only kisses and yaoi takes everything romance, making love and so on, it more explicit.
Sometimes authors changes their gender at some point from a shounen ai to yaoi, just to add that spice because who doesn’t like something spicy. And the both have plots.
I-It really doesn't have plot, here's a quote from where I learned this from:
"The word yaoi is credted to Hatsu Akiko and Sakata Yasuko, members of the Year 24 Group of female manga artists who created stories focusing purely on sexual relations between men. Yaoi is an acronym of the phrase yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi, roughly translating to “no climax, no fall, no meaning” and referring to how the genre emphasizes sex, not romance."
Here are two articles I read from and many other articles on the web that say the same thing.

Personally I think that nobody will ever regret for the eternity getting an abortion during teenage years but she will 90% regret keeping a baby at that time, not being able to do sm thing in her life. So get rid of that thing.
Usually the opposite
She might cry about it one day when drunk or whatever but its sure to say that when she'll be having problems maybe finishing the month or when out with friend she'll be happy to not have a baby around
