I feel responsible for her pregnancy. What should I do?

It was our senior year of high school. We had liked each other for 3 years, but never went out. She had a hard time with her family and ex-boyfriends, but she was smart and beautiful. We got close towards the end of the year and she ended up asking me to take her to prom. I was too scared to say yes and she ended up going with her boyfriend.

I just found out that she got pregnant on prom night which meant that she couldn't go to the college she had always wanted because of the baby.

I know she is responsible for what happened but I can't help but feel that if I had gone to prom with her she wouldn't have gotten pregnant.

Her boyfriend isn't the best guy in the world. But I think her family problems had something to do with her liking him.

There is a chance of me going pass Detroit(where she moved to) next summer, so I'm thinking of stopping by and talking to her then.

    Did you have sex with her? Nope. He did. Unless you guide get really close and you CHOSE to be responsible for that baby (ei. you guise date and baby grows up to know you As dad) then sure, your responsible for baby. You will never be responsible for that pregnancy. Ever. She chose to go with him to the prom, and have sex with him. It's not you fault.

    It has nothing to do with you. How is her getting knocked up by someone else your fault. THEY had sex. THEY got pregnant. If you want to ruin their relationship and end up raising his kid, go ahead and stop by and see her. Or, you could find your own girlfriend with zero baggage.

    It's not your fault she got pregnant. She chose not to use protection, as did her boyfriend. They hopefully know what unprotected sex leads to.... and it happened.
