Don't quit school, under ANY circumstances. Work any other problems out after that.

Don't get married/quit school for the kid's sake, you won't be doing her, her mother or yourself any good in the long term. In fact you'll make things far, far worse.

Oh, and don't follow any 'holyer than thou' responsibility
crap, remember the source of the advice, those people
in general are miserable and poor.

Ah- Ned beat me to it. Anyway, millions of 20 year-olds become fathers every year, and a lot of them manage to make a good job of it.

Having sex is morally bankrupt? Wow, you're puritanical.

Doesn't British Columbia have a pretty generous national health system and child care policy? If the government will pick up the tab for the hospital stay and help out with child care then maybe having a family and getting through school really is do-able after all.

It is, I did it (ontario) . No child care help eithier. Best thing i ever did for myself and my family.

Kind of jumpin' the gun about the family part though. If he wasn't thinking of proposing to her last week he shouldn't be considering it this week.

Sava spoke his mind in a serious situation, and I for one am not at all offended - y'all know how vocal I can be around here, so who cares. Yet at the same time, I'd just like it to be known that I'm not running around sex crazed - at all. This girl... There was something between us that made for fits of passion - which, odddly enough, don't entail good preparation

In any case... abortion is absolutelty not an option, we're not like that. This is about giving the best to a new human being, and for that I'm a little giddy. It's not going to turn into a tough situation, the initial decision making is just confusing.

Now - marriage? Hehehe... I always dreamed of buying the biggest rock for my beautiful bride. Who knows?

Asher... you're learning quickly!!!

If you're serious...

We could move in together and raise the girl as if she was our own? Hmm? Can we, please?

I'm glad that you aren't offended Zylka... and best of luck in your situation. However, this site does not allow personal attacks... and Sava has been warned to not do such things in the future I'm glad he did apologize.

Zylka,

I'm biased because a friend had this happen, so I'll say don't put the cart before the horse. Forget about playing house and concetrate on whether or not it is yours. All else should come after. Don't worry whether or not if would offend her. It's your right to know if the kid is yours.

Best of luck Zylka. I've got some friends with kids and they've managed all right. It's a big thing, but you're a smart fellow, and you can handle things on your own all right. And, you've got dozens of geeks on an Internet forum rooting you on - and we all know how useful that is.

Fitting that somethingawful would do an article near the heart of this discussion. Read Lowtax' "Tis the Season For Dead Babies!" on www.somethingawful.com. I am now convinced that this man writes his articles on the tail end of 3 day methamphetamine binges. Oh, and the following article on re-building the WTC site is just as good bwahahahahahahaha

I used to have dreams like this one too, In one I was in a hospital, with 5 more "possible fathers" waiting for the results of the test to see who was the father of the boy, and it was me

Thanks God it was only just a dream.

Here in Utah it's rather common for college aged kids to be having children. My brother is working, going to USU full time (with no financial aid), and his wife is expecting around the end of this month. It certainly is possible to be a good parent while going to college if the parents are willing to make sacrifices.
