What would you do if your teenage girlfriend was having your baby?

I'd stay, but thank god I'm not going to allow myself to be in that kind of position ever.

I think guys should be careful not to get trapped into relationships they really don't want by having sex without protection. However, if they do happen to create a child by having unprotected sex, they should do their best to at least be a support to the mother and child in whatever way(s) they are able. If they are not able to help support the child, then there should be other arrangements made to try to support the child. I think that staying in a loveless relationship would not do any good for the child, but if the guy is in love with the girl, of course he will want to stay. If not, he will probably not.

Any guy that runs away is not even a guy. He doesn't even have the balls to take consequences from his previous experiences.

Honestly, unless I actually saw myself staying in a long-term relationship with the mother, I'd hope she would get an abortion. A child is expensive, and in today's economy is not something to be taken lightly.

I think it's important to know how a person feels about children before you're having sex with them - if they're gung ho about having one, that's a 'steer clear' sign for me. As for all the gals saying the man is 50% at fault. I would agree, but it's her choice alone whether or not to keep the baby. If she actually goes through with the pregnancy, SHE is choosing to take on that responsibility. He isn't.

I'll no doubt be vilified for thinking this, but it's how I see it. I don't think it's right that a man has no say in whether or not the mother keeps the baby (assuming he wants her to keep it), and yet he has to pay the price if she decides to keep it (even if he doesn't want it). People talk about the responsibility of the father -- whatever happened to the responsibility of the mother? She shouldn't be be keeping the child if she lacks the means to provide for it.

Everyone has sex. Very few have it while considering if they'd spend the next 18 years chained to the person they're having sex with. There is a reason for this -- people have sex for pleasure! Not for the boundless joy of paying child support for the next two decades.

There are enough children without homes in this world. If you're pregnant, get an abortion. If you want one, adopt.

Short version: Teenagers should not be having children. People without solid jobs, benefits, and futures should not be having children. Abortion. That is all.

How about just being a GOOD FATHER? Obviously, the teens are not involved in a marriage, and a baby is not a legal binding. He doesn't have to stay with the girl, but he should make every effort to be that child's daddy and not just a sperm donor. May not be the answer you wanted, but it's the answer I had.

it is very rewarding to become a father and have such a belessing. just make sure you can handle it.

I hate it when guys puil "that baby's not mine" shit. Hate to break it fellas but it takes TWO to tango, that baby is 50% your fault. If you have any shred of decency you stick around and be a good father!

I would definitely stick around no matter what any1 who wouldn't isn't a real man

I think it depends on whether the guy loves the girl or not. If he loves her, he will stay. If he is out of love with her, he may only want to just take responsibility of the baby but not want to be with the girl because he's not in love with her. Make sense? However, if he loves her, but did not really want the baby, he may feel torn between wanting to be with the girl but not ready for the responsibility of taking care of a baby - especially if he is a teenage boy. Teenagers (no matter whether male or female) are only in the stages of getting ready to be adults. The teenage years should be a time of preparation for adulthood. So, when teens get involved with sex at a young age and end up either getting pregnant or getting a girl pregnant, they may not truly be ready for having and raising a child properly. Parenting is tough for adults, much less teenagers, so I would say that if a teenage boy gets a girl pregnant, 9 times out of 10, he is not ready to be a father. Teens often have sex just for the sake of having sex or in order to try to find love that they are not receiving from a parent or other reasons that are not good reasons for teens to have sex, so they are making decisions based on wrong motivations. Adults do this too, and it's not a healthy environment to raise a baby in, because so many times, the relationships do not work out between the parents because of the parents having had sex for the wrong reasons. So, I would say that teenager boys need to be given some slack when it comes to raising a child, because, whether teens want to admit it or not, they are not meant to be having children at that age. I would say that both of them made a mistake by having sex at a young age, and probably for the wrong reasons, and the child needs to have a loving home with adult parents that love him/her and know how to raise the child properly. It is unfair to the child to be brought into a relationship with people who cannot take care of him/her properly or give him/her all the love that he/she needs in order to grow up to be a mentally and physically healthy child. I think the girl needs to think about this and think about how to find the child a family that will properly take care of the child. Trying to get a teenage father to own up to his responsibility of having a child may not even be the best option for the child because the teenage father, many times, comes to feel anger or resentment about being trapped in a relationship that he may not want to be in, or about having to take on such a huge responsibility of fathering a baby at his age when he should be enjoying his life and growing up, mentally and physically. Also, a teenage girl who is pregnant has a huge weight on her shoulders too of becoming a mother at that age. Parenting is not something to be taken lightly. Depending on the child's parents, a child's life can either become better or be destroyed. I would think about that if I were the parents of a baby.

Is it mine?

Should I stay or should I go now?

defently request a DNA test tho. be a good daddy, its half of your fault!

I really don't even know why I answered, but be proud, I chose B!

I would stay there and be a good father, since I stated on the same bd with her. haha but I am a girl, just saying If I am a guy

since I thought I was mature & responsiable enough 2 have sex (unprotected sex) I think I should be responsiable 4 the outcome.running away z so childlesh and cowardly.

My boyfriend's previous girlfriend came to him about a month after they broke up, claiming she was pregnant. He talked to her parents and his, and explained everything. He made plans to help her out with money and everything. It was the biggest scare of his life. Later he found out that she was lying to get him back! He definitely learned his lesson for not using protection one time.
The point is, he planned to stay around and help her with everything:)

i hope to god you wouldn't run.
you were at least 50% at fault
youll regret it for the rest of your life if you leave, that's if you have half a brain

I think most teenage guys aren't ready for that kind of thing. At least not the ones I knew.

Most ran and will never look back.
