Answer #1

im sorry to hear about all of this. I dont mean to get personal but have you guys been active? and are you sure its all true. If yes to both then honstly I dont think its right for him to ask this of you if he truly loves you. Thats a lot on you at such a young age not only having to deal with the stress of him dying but knowing you have to raise a chid on your own. I think you need to write out the positive and negative of raising a child on your own and if the positive is more then show it to your parents when you talk to them. I also think you need to have a plan on how you will do it, And honestly on this plan he needs to be able and willing to sit down with you and figure one out. He also needs to make sure you are going to be okay money wise. Do his parents know about this and if so what on they think?

Answer #2

Find out what disease this is. Tell him you want to talk to his doctor. You wouldnt want to end up having a child with the same disorder if it is genetic. If he doesnt want you to talk to his doctor, you may want to consider this is all being made up…

Answer #3

It is however you want to. It is your desition if you want to go ahead and take that responsibility. And also I would sit down and talk to your perents and tell them everything that is going on from the start. I mean oboisly it is a very hard situation and at the end it is all up to you.

What you boyfriend wants is something big and it is a very big desition to make but what matters most is not you perents or boyfriends desition is the one you decide the one that comes from your hart.

Answer #4

First think, do you want to do this? You will have to give birth, and raise the child all by yourself. Ummm, what about when the baby has to live with no father? It doesnt seem like the best thing to do. However if you do end up doing this, you should approach your parents with the bad News first, tell them about how he is going to die and how sad you will be without him. Also throw in a what if we could create a new him? If you had your own baby from him it would be like starting all over, fresh and new. Then tell them you are positive this is what you want and many ways you will be responsible and things you can do for/with the baby. Good luck! ~hannah

Answer #5

you gota ask them to sit down so you can talk to them. when they do you put on that worried face and start stallin. after bout ten secs you just blurt out the main idea that he’s guna die and the whole child thing. this usually gets there attention and you get to continue tellin them. think deeply about the possitives and negatives with your parents. and I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you can come to a truthful solution so you and your boyfreind are happy.

Answer #6

I’m very sorry that you’re in this kind of a situation, but I really think that you need to consider all of the details right now before even considering going through with this.

For one, you are in fact only 16. There is a lot of room for growing and learning new things. You have your full life ahead of you, and you really need to think about your future and the future of this child. What will your quality of life be? What will the child’s quality of life be? What will you do with your education, and how will you provide for the child? Will you be emotionally, physically and financially able to handle a child and provide for it in all ways (buying clothing, foods, paying a babysitter for when you can’t be there, paying medical bills, etc)? How will you handle taking care of a child AND yourself if you’re grieving the loss of your boyfriend? (Losing someone you care about impacts your life A LOT.)

The fact is that children take A LOT of care. They have a lot of needs, require a lot of attention, need a lot of love, and they deserve a happy, positive, healthy, safe and nurturing environment. If you can’t provide all of the things it will need and the quality of the child’s life AND your life won’t be very good, I really don’t think that you should go through with it. I do understand why you want to, but realistically speaking, you DO have to put the child’s best interest first. Speaking as a person who was raised in bad circumstances, it wouldn’t be fair to the child in any way if you didn’t put them and their life ahead of everything else.

That being said, though, I definitely think that you should speak to your parents about it and ask for their insight. Let them know all of the details and go from there.
