[QUOTE=Illmatic]People actually live in the Upper Peninsula?

There are some cities, yeah. The drive from Sault Ste. Marie to Marquette is pretty much barren wasteland and tundra, though.

And snow. Oh my goodness, is there a lot of snow.

Think Kansas, but without the endless fields.

Well, it's pretty much official, I'm going to be a dad in nine months...unless the pregnancy test was wrong.

I'm going to go smoke a cig or two.

You don't believe in abortions, eh?

But seriously dude, you are gonna have to like drop out of school and get a job or something like that, that is rough. You had to grow up too fast.

Yeah, even though becoming a father is one of my ultimate goals in life, I'm definitely not even thinking about it until I'm making oodles and oodles of money to give my kid(s) the same life and chances that my parents gave me.

Wow. Um, good luck dude...I hope all works out for the best.

My gf telling me she wasn't today was an even bigger relief knowing your situation actually heh.

Well, I guess there are good and bad things to be said about this.

Though for what it's worth, we're all backing you up for the times ahead.

Whoa, harsh. Um...yeah good luck I guess, fortunately for me, that situation is not yet possible. Virgination!! Woo...

No, we both don't. and

1). I graduate from school in May. The baby comes around October.
2) I have a job.
3) her family is willing to help take care of the baby. We are moving in with each other after I graduate. my family, I don't know what they think.

Thanks. I am going to try to be a man and look at this positively. I thank y'all for your support, it means a lot.

Having supportive families is great. Hopefully yours feels the same as hers. Seems like you're already making plans though, that's good. Lots of preparation ahead of time will make it easier.

Well, good luck then.

Good luck with that ICB.

My older brother came from this type of situation. I came from my parents not learning from their mistake. My little brother is the same too.

Yeah, having supportive families is a positive step. Good luck.

There's no way I could possibly consider having a kid at this point in my life. I have way too much on my plate as it is, heh.

Wow, I hope everything turns out right for you guys. Are you two in love? Even going out?

Yah, its good you have (well hers anyway) families that will be there to support you because you are going to need it.

As long as you both are serious and responsible about the child than you have my support. I hope everything turns out well for you.

[QUOTE=Moses]Wow, I hope everything turns out right for you guys. Are you two in love? Even going out?[/QUOTE]

Oh, we're deeply in love, man. We have previously talked about getting married and having children together (but didn't know it would happen so soon)..I do feel she's my soulmate and will never leave her.

thanks again everyone, for all the support. I guess I need it, because I have a feeling my family will lash out at me.

But aren't you with your grandmother right now?

That's the only thing that really matters.

[QUOTE=Jom]But aren't you with your grandmother right now?[/QUOTE]

yes but I have a buttload of family here..plus my dad has called saying he doesn't want us getting pregnant, blablabla...so has my grandma, of course

[QUOTE=Jom]Yeah, having supportive families is a positive step. Good luck.

Yeah...something like that would throw me for a huge loop. Especially since my girlfriend and I aren't even in the same state very often. :-\

Ugh...I don't want to think about that heh.

Well that's awesome then. Obviosuly things could have worked out better, but if that's the way you guys feel you're in a better position thn many who are where you guys are.

If only things were that simple.

[QUOTE=Kingofdudes]If only things were that simple.[/QUOTE]
They are, if you truly love someone and they truly love you back there's no reason everything won't be alright in the end. I truly believe that since I'm only 16 and I'm engaged.

you people have so much more interesting lives, for better or for worse.

i was going to say i wish my life was more exciting, but...maybe not.

Yeah, I'm just not mature enough to handle having a kid right now.

[QUOTE]They are, if you truly love someone and they truly love you back there's no reason everything won't be alright in the end.[/QUOTE]

That's an admirable way of looking at it.

I'm not trying to be facetious, either.

ICB: I really do support you as much as I possibly can (again, not being facetious, but there's only so much I can do through a computer screen), raising a kid is tough work, and it is even harder if your own family and friends don't support you.

Thanks, Ray.

I really don't think your family will disown you, man. Fast-forward nine months in advance, and your dad will realize that he's going to be a grandpa and your grandma a great-grandma and they'll see this kid and the world will slow down all of a sudden and things will be good.

And then, it's going to be a hell of a lot of work, as others have pointed out. And that's where all the "Good luck" phrases really factor in, heh.

What's your girlfriend going to do? Is she going to go to school pregnant?

2 girls at my school are doing just that.
