I was a s***ty, lame teenager , if I got someone pregnant at that age I would have either:

1) Join the Army a lot sooner than I did.

2) Probably abandon them and try to pretend they didn’t exist.

Honestly at that age , the latter would have been the likeliest choice.

 

[Rest]

Tell them to get an abortion.
If that didn't work, multiple strikes to the lower abdomen.

 

[poodaddy]

I would have manned up and taken care of my child. My kid was born when I was 24, and honestly I was extremely immature. Just getting out of the Army, had already wrestled the bottle a bit, had a failed marriage, I mean I wasn't truly ready to be a dad, but when are you ever ready ya know? You just jump in and try your best, figure it out as you go. I know lots of people who had their kids when they were kids, and they turned out to be great parents. Hell, in a way I think it's an advantage. Who wants to be too old to be a kid with their kids ya know?

I would have handled it badly, that’s why I didn’t have any unprotected sex at 17.

Or any sex at all

Who's 17 in this scenario? The girl or the guy?

In this specific scenario, both are 17.

That's the truth at that age you either don't want to date them or they are always dating a guy at least a couple of years older.

Normal business in my country.

My mom and my dad had me at that age.

 

[Punished Miku]

Rely on your parents to help you with most of it since you're basically a kid still with no career or earning potential or any skills to speak of. That's pretty much what happens, the grandparents get drafted for another 20 years of work.

I didn't know you were British.

I was just too busy studying the blade.

Far away. Somalian.
In our country, you get married if you are older than 15.

Lucky for me, I left the country, while I was 12.

Abort

 

[AJUMP23]

I would have become a father, but I didn’t have sex until marriage.

It seems I cant escape TF2.

 

[Aesius]

I’m pretty sure my high school girlfriend got pregnant at 18 and had a really early miscarriage. Her cycle was like clockwork and one month she was nearly 2 weeks late. It was the scariest 2 weeks of my life.

eww OP posts on ree

 

[Pejo]

My man's like "I've seen that unnecessary arbitrary censoring of the word "shit" before."

On topic, I'd have probably panicked a lot, hoped for the best, and then taken care of the kid or accepted the abortion (definitely would have urged the abortion route though). I had several pregnancy scares throughout my 20s, and all of them turned out negative, so whew.

 

[nush]

eww OP posts on ree

He's free to post where he likes.

[NecrosaroIII]

I don't know what's sadder. The fact OP cross post this thread on Ree, or that you were lurking there and found it.

 

[nush]

I don't know what's sadder. The fact OP cross post this thread on Ree,

OP has been very open in other topics that he cross posts topics on both forums to get different perspectives.

 

[Mondai]

Lol is it really that big a deal that I post here and on Era?

Not at all, just ignore the Console forum warriors.

Here it would probably just be aborted.

of course he is.

just says a lot about you

 

[Nobody_Important]

Help pay for an abortion if she was willing and the girl I was dating at that age was willing. We talked about it after we started having sex regularly.


Its the only responsible and sensible thing to do at that age in my opinion unless you were born into money.

 

[Kagey K]

End up paying child support until you are 40 like I did.

I can first hand tell you what can happen if you fuck up this young.

It's not fun, and severely limits some carrer choices.

She gets to pay the bills with her vagina though, while kneecapping you at every turn.

 

[Mondai]

of course he is.


just says a lot about you

Am I trash then? :O

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

I’d have been passive aggressive about it: crush a bunch of morning after pills into a latte and then talked about it.



If she kept the baby I’d do ROTC and join the military or do all the research to adopt the baby out.

I know you are kidding but I have seen that presented before as a legit option on social media and that is horrifying to me that people can do that to someone they care about.

These options weren't available to me.

I won't deny that I might have been tempted at the time if they were.

I paid with half my life (and most of my ambitions) because .....

Why were they not available?

 

[drganon]

Be very impressed I managed to convince someone to have sex with me.

 

[Goalus]

Think about what pronouns the child wants to be referred to by.

 

[nush]

Not 40 years ago.

 

[dr_octagon]

goo / gu / peekabu
Pronunciation 'Bah-bə'

I'm currently on leave, I will respond to any emails in 18 years. For anything urgent, contact my birthing person. Danke.

I was way too damn shy at 17. No chance that happens.

 

[Boss Mog]

I would've discussed it with the girl and respected her choice. She's the one that would have to go to school pregnant and face scrutiny or drop out.

One one hand an abortion would mean that I could continue to have fun and enjoy my youth but I'm sure I would wonder about that kid for the rest of my life. On the other hand I would have a kid, it would be scary but pretty cool. In a way, we're way more fearless as teenagers and more ready to cope with the unforeseen change.

 

[Lord Panda]

Am I trash then? :O

Nah mate. When my gf at the time told me her period was late, I was terrified. We both were. We were only 16-17. We were thinking all sorts of stuff like how we were going to tell our parents, our schooling, future, marriage etc or … whether to abort. And the more she stressed, the more it delayed her period. Anyway, nothing came of it but I still remember that dread I felt then as a dumb teenager,
