What would you do?

[5,5]

Seeing how mostly everybody on this forum is young enough where we aren't trying to have kids, if you were to get a girl pregnant/get pregnant at this moment in your life, what would you do? Keep it, abort it, or put it up for adoption?

I'd probably keep it because I think even though it would be very hard, I'd be able to care for it and keep it healthy and all that. Or at least I'd try my hardest, and I know I'd have the help of the mother, family, and friends.

I would keep it, I think it's definitely wrong to abort it. I would just try my best to look after it and try and stay at college and work extra hours to provide for the baby but I would have the help from other aswell.

Abort it if I was the girl, but in my current position as a man I'd persuade her to abort it somehow. I can see why people want to keep them for the sentimental value etc bla bla bla, but by having a kid as a teenager you're essentially cutting about 18 years out of your life that you could be spending having fun doing other things than raising a child.
Not that I don't want kids at some point, just not in the prime of my life.

Well, Bruno would swap it for an iPod

I really wouldn't want a child right now so I'd probably abort it. Once a child comes along, you're tied to certain things which aren't really intended for young people to deal with (mentally and physically); enjoy your youth while you have it! However I don't agree with abortion once you're old enough to look after it. I don't agree with adoptions either, children should stay with their parents in my opinion. It's not the right life for someone if you've been adopted.

oh prob just kill myself, 100% against abortion (oh wait) but wouldn't want to go through a pregnancy and put my plans on hold for a baby i'm just giving away, i don't want one so young cause i got my life planned out init
dw though never gonna happen i'm celibate aka can't get laid, no-one would even rape me

Let the mother make a decision and support what she chooses.

I'd probably abort it, because I feel if I had a child at this age I'd mess up my future. I have plans for what I want to do when I'm older, and I don't think I could give them up.
I think I'd end up blaming the child eventually for me not achieving my ambitions, which is wrong, and I wouldn't be able to care for it properly anyway.
