To the previous posters who don't have kids, stfu until you do.

  Old  Yeah. I just had a baby girl and she is wonderful and so is the mom.

I still live at my parents house and i'm working on making money on affiliate programs and construction. My girl is 1 month and 3 weeks. It's amazing I love her mommy to so that makes a big difference. I'm 24 so alot of years go by. Gotta ask yourself would your regret anything. I've seen abortion pictures.. The baby just looks like a small human being. If the child is going to be warm and loved then that is what counts. will

Good luck with whatever decision you make.

Don't abort, could you really live with yourself knowing you killed a child? Get a job, take responsibility and marry her. This is why my wife and I waited till marriage to have sex.

My advice is to calmly tell your parents and assure them you will marry her. At your age you probably cant father a child, you aren't old enough or rich enough. If you think you can, go for it. If you dont think you can, adopt. Just don't kill the baby.

Blue Ire and Village Idiot both have more experience with life, as they are older and have been around the block. I'd go with what they have to say. But definitely consult your parents, and possibly a religiously affiliated person?

Ya if you belong to an organized religion (and believe their schtick), talk to your priest, pastor, or spirit guide. Even if you don't, they can talk about options as most large religions offer excellent parenting classes and services, as well as top tier adoption processes.

YOu can do that thing they did on lost where you find a couple who can't conceive and there is some legal contract so that as soon as the baby is born it belongs to them, they are not required to let you ever see the child again though, or tell the child he was adopted.

You mean adoption? Why go through saying all of that (especially from a TV show)?

Abortion is so wrong.. I'm sorry but if you do it, you're pathetic.

No Glove, No Love.
Wrap your willy, don't be silly.


You need to man up and take care of her and the kid, definitely get both sides of the family involved, and if you are in a situation where with all the help and love around you, that you still cant take care of it and her. Whether it be physically, emotionally, or materially, put the baby for adoption.

Congrats! Now your going to have to step up and be a man and bypass the fun years of being young.

Life as you know it is over, get used to that saying. Don't abort, that is a cop out. Be a man,take responsibility and tell your parents you need their guidance and wisdom. Your going to need it!
