My girlfriend wants to keep the baby... What should I do?

We still love each other and I have no clue where to go. She wants to keep the baby. We are 15. She will have the baby by the time we are 16. Now... I have 3 options
1) Leave and pay Family Support
2) Marry and keep the baby
3) #2 except go through College aswell, in a tag team class (I go for the first 4 years, and she go the next 4).

We are in 11th grade next year. The paternity test was posative.
(I have been given the "Welcome to Life, Son" talk...)
What should I do?

Step up to the plate, and be emotionally and financially supportive!

You can't just go 'round scattering and praying for a 100% crop failure! Seeds SPROUT!

man up.. take responsibility for what you've done.. you're old enough to do the deed, you need to realize you're old enough to pay the consequences.

well, its half your fault, and half hers.

get ready to lose all your money!

keep the baby

do not get married ,support the baby , geeting married will be the second biggest mistake in your life the first one was having unprotected sex

If you are able to go to college, do it. Things will be hard for a time, but they will pay off in the end. An education will give you options later on.

#3 man. If she wants to have the baby you can't change her mind.

well i say # 3 or u could do # 1 but remember that ur goin to be doing that till the baby is 18

face reality boy your gonna be a young father. your life is gonna change and since shes keeping the baby your in the hole. hopfully your parents are willing to help you out. hers as well.

keep the baby and trust in God (jesus)!

Honey, you are both *way* too young for this responsibility. Do a good thing and give the baby up for adoption. You can do an open adoption so you can keep up on what's going on with the baby. Don't ruin three lives by keeping the baby. This is *not* a reason to get married, either!

You should have thought of that question before. The best answer is one that everyone can live with. My opinion: You should have kept it in your pants.

You still love her? Marry her. Let the baby grow up in a loving household. As for college, I don't know what you're planning to do when you grow up (and here I am, giving a father-to-be advice about growing up) but if it requires college, you really should - babies aren't cheap.

Ultimately it is her decision, all you can do is support what ever she chooses. Even if things don't work out with her you still have an obligation to this child.

I would deffinatly do number three. If you don't go to collage, you won't beable to support your family wether it is with you current girlfriend or not.

Time for you to take responsibility, get a part-time job and start thinking about how your going to support her and her baby.
oh, yea ... Welcome to life!!!!

Use contraception next time. The baby is your responsibility now.

Well no matter what I would say go to college and still live out your dreams, it wont be easy. But still take responsibility. I would try out being a dad, if you find that it really is not working and you feel that you cannot help raise the child, I would pay child support, and just help out as much as you can to get your gf through school.

Give the baby to a good family.

Sounds like you've got your choices pretty well laid out in front of you. I'd say the tag team college thing is a very wise idea. But it also depends on where you live, I think. For example, in Alberta Canda , there is a huge deamnd for tradesmen right now, and they can pay you very well and do not always need a college degree. Look around for apprenticeships and stuff.

Well really if she is gonna keep the baby there isn't anything you can do about it. Just support her the best you can and be the best dad ever. Are your parents supportive because that helps. It's to late to go back. Just plan for the future. It will be hard but if you believe in GOD, you'll make it!

dude first you should have waited tell you were married and if you think you are able to settle down with her go head but i think you are in a stuck position and you should be the only one that can make the decision

First of all. I am very much against abortion..

Thus... evidently you did not haves good "welcome to life, Son" prior to unzipping your pants. It is NOW the price you will have to pay for not having the common sense prior to having unprotected sex.

Love your baby no matter what. And continue on with school. There are so many different programs that help parents get through college and stuff like that. Look into it. Maybe both of you can go to school together.

well...
i would stay with her and help her through everything, dont leave her because that will just make everything worse.
if you love her enough to get her preg. you will stay with her. cuz it wasnt all her fault that she ended up preg.
im 16 and me and my bf think im preg. but not to sure yet.
he tells me he is going to stay with me if i am.
did you tell her that?

you guys love each other so don't leave her...continue your education no matter what because you have your whole future ahead of you...if you guys really love each other things should work out...marry if you want but KEEP the baby,,you can always marry later..good luck..

#3

Be a Man

You no longer make decisions based simply on your life you now must be responsible for your child.

It is time to grow up and be responsible.

Good Luck and God Bless

Keep the damn baby and get married. But please go to school, because with out school, you can't get a job to support that baby. And getting married isn't that bad, if you're older, you can always get a divorce if you don't love her, but keep paying child support if you do and see the baby often.

#3... Keep the baby and get an education. Don't give up that baby. You'll love it like nothing you ever loved before. Shower it with hugs and kisses and tell your child how much you love them. Don't forget about your girlfriend!

you should be a real man and be a father to the baby because it will all work out in the end.GOD always gives us choices and we have to make the best of them you can do anything you set you heart one the ski is the limits never think badly of you self keep a positive view and things will work out for the best i wish you the best of luck.

If she decides to keep the baby, YOU HAVE to be responsible for you actions...and thats not just giving her some money here and there when you have a few extra bucks...its actually being involved in this persons life...(the new baby)...You need to grow up NOW and be a father...I hope that this mother realizes what she is getting herself into, has she concidering adoption? There are a lot of familys out there that can not have children and their only dream is to have a child. Either way, you need to take responsibility and now.
