Thats tough all I can say is support her which you seem to be doing as for telling that parents they may be really pissed but they are your parents so they will always love you no matter what. Also if she is away at collage with a baby then you may have to pay child support if she needs it and in that case you need a job or your parents will provide it. It’s also a matter of love to lie your young you may not know what love is yet and you could be bring a child into a loveless realtionship which is not fair for it. It’s really your call on what to do I think it’s good you care about her and your child but at the same time it burdens the rest of your life. Talk about abortion to her if you really can’t handle a child or adoption if you are agaisnt abortion. Anyways I suggest you sit down with your ex girlfriend her parents youand your parents and discuss what the plan is a make a list or positives and negitives. Anyways good luck

Answer #3

damn I am sorry! make sure you are guna bew there for the baby! and I hope you guys get back together… and just tell your mom and dad when you are 15 cause it prob wont be a big deal to them

Answer #4

Take responsibility for what you did. And of course help the mother out as much as you can. Hopefully your parents will understand, and even if they are upset, they will probually still be happy to have a grandson/granddaughter.

Answer #5

if I was you, I wouldnt know what to do either. you need to tell them no matter what. try to tell them in the way that will keep them the most calm. before you do nething, make sure that you are the dad! im really sorry about the situation that you are in. dont give up on your life. make sure you finish school and do as much as you had wanted to do with your life as before.

Answer #6

The only thing you can do is be honest. Yes they are going to b upset, and disappointed. But those feelings will pass. Families stick together, and if they get bent out of shape, you need to remind them that this is a time in your life that they should be the most supportive. You’re very young to be a daddy, but I am glad you are stepping up. However, FINISH SCHOOL! Thats the best thing you can do for your child. If you drop out you wont be able to support your child to the best of your ability. Your family will help you, they love you. you’re their son!

Answer #7

wow.I agree with angelface101.my son is 8mnths now plus I have a daughter on the way and im only 17! so its tough raising a child and can you imagine having to take care of two! well this is my advice too you.tell your parents ASAP because they may be pissed at you but in the long run they love you and will most likely help you out with the baby.my babys father is locked up and im on my own so her going off too college is going too be tough at first but you will get the hang of it eventually.I promise.my babys father was a bad person before his son got here now hes great its just his past caught up too him but sweety trust you will be fine!

Answer #8

well man I dont blam you yes it is a big thing and if theirs an older cousin that you could talk to do that first I know it may sound cheesy but do it. then ask her/him for some advice choose one who has a child! then not to menchen sit down with your parents and simply say that “mom dad im gunna be a dad” yes there going to be very upset and they may blow a huge fit but then tell them that you really want to be that father of this baby if they’re caring for you they will help support a little and see her as much as you can and help. yea infact I was sleeping this morning and my mom barged in my room and shes like hey little girl are you preg. and yea it just went on and on but im not pregg so. much easier. good luck

Answer #9

um…wow if at all possible do NOT have the baby,because your life will be so much harder believe me I know.I have a 5 month old and Im 17,my boyfriend is 20.when you have that child you will have to grow the heac up.no more mommy daddy I need this or can I have this…if I had never seen my baby I wouldn’t have ever had him,but now he is my whole entire life…things are possible to do with a baby,but crap it isn’t easy,but nobody will ever know until they experience something like it…Damn…I’m sorry it had to happen to you so young…Good Luck with whatever you decide I guess…

Answer #10

I would suggest you to bring that girl home.And sit down with your parents and talk to them.And yeah,its a big thing.Plan how to own up the baby.And of course,studies still important.So try to fix your time properly.Dont be scare.Cause if you are scare,the problem wont be solve.So take the responsibility okay?Good luck! ^^

Answer #11

Dear immabeadadyy, This is a tough situation. First legally your parents are going to be responsible for the child till you turn 18 or move away from your parents house. I’m sure this is not something they will be looking forward to. Legally, she can be charged because of the age difference. She needs to get counselling ASAP…a 19 year old female involved with a 14 year old male has major psychological problems and may not be fit to raise a child. She is underplaying the situation and that is a very big red flag. If the parents on both sides knew of this relationship prior they should have stopped it. I don’t usually suggest this but in this case I would say you need to get all the parents together and discuss adoption for this child. There is a big problem When parents allow this type of relationship and there is a bigger problem with a 19 year old female being involved with a 14 year old male. Sue…good luck

Answer #12

hahah damn that sucks for you bro good luck with that

Answer #13

She is the adult in this situation. Don’t let her off the hook, she MUST talk to your parents with you. Then maybe they will call the police while she is there, because she is a child molester. I cannot fathom what a 19 year old would be thinking of being with a 14 year old. She needs help, and maybe you and your parents can raise the baby. She can visit the baby when she gets out of jail.

Answer #14

sorry. you hit that, you get the baby!
