What if you were 17 and got a girl pregnant who was 16

agree but the foster care system back home sucks so yeah she kept it but i never knew she was pregnant intil i when to her new place in san diego and she didn't want me around with her new partner(left me for a women T_T yea)and the kid, but my fiance wanted to be mom so we had one, nice in the start, hard freaking work later, but i can imagine not being a dad now.

plan c

When I was in middle school a 14 year old girl got knocked up, she was in 7th grade. They didn't get a abortion, nor did they put the child up for adoption. I don't know if it was the right to do, she missed a lot of school because of the kid and well. . . life's not gonna be easy for her. But sometimes people do dumb shit. When stuff like this happens they should have to live with the result of their actions. There are no second chances in life and sometimes you're dealt a shitty hand. But hey, that's how it goes.

Obviously I would take responsibility and work my ass off to support both my girl and the baby. My dreams would be put on hold for quite a while, but the simple answer is that I would have a new dream, taking care of my new family. Isn't that what growing up is about?

Game over, run away to Canada!

Canada: Americas hat.

First of all, High-fives with everyone. Then sell my e-drum set to have some cash. The moment I turn 18, I get a job, save up to start a business. I'll be ok from then on. Proceed to make more children when the eldest graduates grade school. I would have at least enough money to support a family of 5 by then.

I would pressure her to either get an abortion or put the kid up for adoption.

Um, i think i could manage. with help?

yes it would very much put a dampen on my life unless it the daughter of some stupid yet famous political figure. in that case though you would be famous and that would be very cool....most of the time.You would have a very stupid baby though.

I do not mind, already earned about $290/month since I'm 15 (Here in Indonesia, it even surpassed the state worker) and i really wanted to be a young parent. Hm hm hm it will be lovely for me!

Holy crap you're probably a young mom's dream. But seriously, what sort of work do you do to be so gainfully paid?

Holy .....
okay , i live in Indonesia too ... and i am really surprised by this statement
if i may know, what have you done so you can get this ridiculous amount of money since early age ?

OT :
Be realistic , even tho i am sure that i will not experience it .. i will taking responsibility for it since that's who i am

@Old - Jenkins: What a delightful surprise! I always thought that us Indonesians preferred something else rather than this. Glad to meet you! I' doing something in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan right now :-D

As to the answer for your question:

At the age of 15 till 17:
- I worked part-time as a elementary and middle school in a "Bimbel" group. It gave me about $69/month $100 for THR at Ramadan

I'm also working as a part-time web designer (place not disclosed - company policy) for about $119 but without benefits

Till the age of 16 i sold anime in DivX and DVD to my friends, clean result are about average $57 each month

Last but not least i also accept PC, TV, and Radio repairs. It fluctuates from $39 to $108 (especially in the raining season - flooding season)but if averaged it's about $56

Aside from the occasional "Science/Math Olympiad" and other IT competition which gave me about $312/year (scholarship NOT included)


And FYI i still got my parents that time (still now) i just wanted to have some cash that i hard-earned at work.

And of course, as emergency preparation funds in case i impregnated someone :-D

I apologize if i sound like I'm bragging. Thank you and good day!

OT: I concur and respects people who decided or suggest others to TAKE the RESPONSIBILITY for his/her action.

what if I'm 26 and get a 16 year old pregnant?

What if I'm a 26 year old Canadian that gets a 16 year old girl from New Jersey pregnant while I'm visiting a bro in Philly?

Well, since she can't consent, it'd be called illegal.

Depends on where you live. Age of consent here in NJ? 16

@hempknight: Most states is 16, some are 17, few are 18. 21 is the age for alcohol.
