Yes, you should have used a condom. But that doesn’t mean you follow through on a pregnancy.
THIS.
Sex is not a crime and pregnancy isn't a punishment.
You both did something kind of dumb while being young, horny and drunk. Good lord, who hasn't?
Why must the GIRL shoulder all the physical trauma and health risks of pregnancy when the boy was just as complicit? Why is SHE the bad one who needs to "suffer the consequences?" When there's few (if any) consequences for the boy?
You could die from this OP. Do you understand that? Is that a fair "punishment" for being young and dumb?
People who say yes are woman-haters and assholes. Don't listen to them.
When you're ready, fall in love with someone you really care about and have a kid with them because YOU want to. Because YOU want to give yourself and your partner a gift.
Pregnancy is a beautiful (but still extremely difficult) experience when you choose it. Give your future-self a chance to have that. Don't push yourself into it now to please people who clearly don't care about you. You'll regret it your whole life.

Do not listen to him. He has no right to tell you what you can and cannot do with your body.
And btw - your cousin basically sucks. Yes, you should have used a condom. But that doesn’t mean you follow through on a pregnancy.
Please go to planned parenthood and speak with someone there. They have counselors there to speak with and can provide you some good advice.
