What should a 14-year-old boy do if he got a 14-year-old girl pregnant and she wants to keep the baby?

What Should A 14 Year Old Boy Who Got Their 14 Year Old Girlfriend Pregnant:

• That's something the parents and the couple should discuss and work out a mutual plan.

• You are 14 years old, which means you're a kid yourself. If you want to show your girlfriend you love her, you should tell her or kiss her or hug her. I don't know, but sex is something you should really take time to think about, and it is supposed to be a wonderful experience for two people who love each other. At 14, I hate to break it to you, but you probably don't even know what love is. I don't want to sound like a jerk or anything because I'm only 17 but still. Just try to work it out with her parents and your parents, and maybe it won't be so bad. Good Luck! You'll need it.

• I really enjoyed the post by the 17 year old. What is done is done and remember, we all make mistakes at any age! Don't cry over spilled milk. Sit down with both sets of parents and tell the truth. DON'T be so quick to agree to giving up the baby for adoption, etc. By law parents can force the issue, but, in the court of law they prefer both parents (no matter what age) are involved in the up-bringing of the child. You are confused, upset, worried, feel you love each other. Once pregnant that baby is both of yours (which forms a distinctive bond) so if you stay together for the rest of your lives or come to the realization you both are too young you can still be a part of that babies future. Also, there are very loving couples out there that can't have a child and would love to adopt. If you feel this is the way you and your girlfriend want to go then be part of it by selecting a good agency or even a lawyer (with your parents help) to select a couple you feel good about to raise your child. Parents are shocked their 12 - 14+ year old daughter is pregnant they forget, giving birth is a miracle and there IS a bond between mother and baby and there is no age limit on that one! To push and bully young teens into either having an abortion or giving up the baby is cruel. Only after the birth of the baby should the parents sit down (after all other avenues of who will help raise this child are exhausted) and adoption is the only recourse. Talk to your parents about your feelings and if need be, bring a minister/priest or even a psychologist into it. By rushing over a decision as serious as this can only end up by all parties making more heart-breaking mistakes. I agree with the 17 year old poster ... you and your girlfriend hug each other and console each other. If you were my son or your g/f was my daughter I would give my husband and I a chance to get over the shock but meanwhile I would give all the love and support I could. Then there would come a time when we would sit down with both of you and listen to what you have to say! From there, well it depends on the situation.

• Start looking for a job. You committed yourself to financially supporting your child for at least eighteen years.
