My girlfriend is pregnant. Where do I go from now?
We've been together for only five months. She told me she was on birth control, but she forgot to take it a few days. Now she knocked up with my kid, and she wants to keep it. She's already told her parents and everything. Surprisingly they're not as pissed as I thought they'd be. Anyway, I'm only 16. What the hell am I going to do with a kid? This is seriously gonna jeopardize my football career. What do I do? I need some serious advice.

LMAO! omg i feel sorry for you. Diddnt sex ed teach you anything? Besides Its not her fault, it both your faults. Wow, id hate to be in your situation and i'm 18 and I know for a fact im not ready to raise a child. Plus it would suck for the kid growing up knowing you were a bastard child. Ok im done, I shouldn't of typed all those things but im keeping it there.
unfortunetly from now on achieving your goals (academically) may be a little harder. You going to have to take that little extra step to becoming an engineer, football player, doctor w/e you wanna be. But you always have a loving family who will assist you along the way so keep doing what your doing, you just have to remember that you have a child to take care of and act a little bit more responsible. It will be hard, so the best you can do is prepare.
You'll be fine, you can do it, but it will be an adjustment. Just don't knock her up again.

ok first of all you screwed up!! i know thats obvious but birth control is 99% guaranteed anyways, shoulda used a condom, but really i guess this is a common mistake i would have definatly made too. What you need to do is be by her side. You don't need to stay together, or as close as you were, but let her know you will be there for her, and do so. The LAST thing you need to be worrying about is your football career!! I mean are you really that self centered! You can still practice, and do football. This doesnt have anything to do with that. I'm sure your pregnant GF with be able to watch your kid if you have practice, just try to be helpful. And please please dont let her get abortion. Its nasty and sad. Could you imagine not being wanted and being killed before a chance at life? horrible, but from what you said thats probably not an issue. I'm sure her rents are pissed though, they are just supportive too. Try to look at the positive side, even if its hard. What if you have a son? you can help him grow up to be a great man, and wait to get older before having sex maybe? i just hope this taught you a lesson. It will be a bumpy road, but i am sorry this happened to you. Im sure you can make it through it though. good luck with football

where should you go... to the doctor and first see your Baby before you do any thing harsh. You don´t have to marry her or any thing but pay for expensive and be a part of the baby´s life, you could still play football, but if you didn't want to jeopardize your life then you shouldn't having sex or use another type of protection. it´s not only the girls thing to worry about.

Tell her to put it up for adoption, because you don't want to ruin the kids life. It seems like the parents would be pissed if you manipulated her into aborting it, so manipulate her into putting it up. Get your parents involved, have them talk to her parents, just keep it about the babies life which is being ruined (which makes you seem like a nice guy) and not your life (which makes you seem like a jerk).
To be fair though there are lots of football players with babies they don't take responsibility for.
Oh yea and stop having sex with dumb girls.

Give her support. You don't need to want to marry or be with her forever, but you need to care about her. She is carrying someone very, very important in her right now, your baby. Don't blame her. Have you talked to your family yet? Above all, make sure you both take a realistic approach to this baby. It isnt going to all be fun and games, but it isnt going to ruin your life.
I got pregnant at 17. (this august) first thing me and babydaddy did was go to planned parenthood. they gave papers for all options, and gave lists for places to get prenatal care if she wants to keep it. then, i told my family and he told his. i continued to go to school and work. the big thing is talking with your families about how to go about all of this because they are legally responsible for you guys and will be playing a HUGE part in this babys life. You need to talk daycare, money, responsibilities. It's all alot to handle at first. Trust me, the first 3 months I'd say were absolutely awful, but it gets so much better! Just do not drop out of school, and make sure to get a job. You can do it.

you learn how to be a father. i hate to say this but you should have thought of this possibility before having sex. you are now legally responcible for part of the childs upbringing. it will be a hard ajustment for you, but now everything is all about the child, not you.
