<p>A friend of mine who attends different school than I do informed me that his girlfriend is pregnant. He still plans to attend school, as does his girlfriend, but does anyone have any experience with this? I know he goes to another school and what not, but he's one of my few remaining friends from High School and I want to help him out as much as possible.</p>
<p>Abortion? Adoption? Does she want to keep the baby?</p>
<p>"Hey honey, come over here by the top of the stairwell..."</p>
<p>If she decides to keep the baby, he ought to marry her. Not only is it the moral thing to do, but it may be fiscally advantageous for him. <a href="http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/attachments/siteresources/66.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/attachments/siteresources/66.pdf</a></p>
<p>If he marries the girl, he will be considered independent for FAFSA purposes and thus eligible for a lot of aid, most likely, because his parents income will become irrelevant.</p>
<p>Tell him to bring his gf on Maury. I bet she was cheating... that baby ain't his.</p>
<p>o no, its his alright, he's always telling me how much they ****</p>
<p>And its too late for any sort of abortion</p>
<p>lol he's screwed then. I don't know what I'd do in his position. Leave the country?</p>
<p>But seriously; I'd probably get a paternity test no matter what. Maybe get one without her permission (grab a hair or something). What percentage of kids are being raised by men who aren't their biological dads? Over 10%?</p>
<p>What year are they going to graduate? If it's soon then it's not a huge deal.</p>
<p>Yes it is. It's life altering regardless of when it is.</p>

<p>Honestly, I'd still demand some tests. Before getting all nuts, at least be sure right? </p>

<p>What world are you living in?</p>
<p>Paternity tests should be automatic. With the status quo, the only people we're protecting is cuckolding whore wives, girlfriends, ****-buddies, and one night stands.</p>
<p>Well, since abortion isn't an option, she can still consider adoption if she isn't ready.</p>
<p>If they are graduating this year it wouldn't be as bad as trying to raise a baby for three years. She'd be having the baby towards the end of the year around graduation. It wouldn't be as life altering.</p>
<p>If I was a female I'd delay having a kid as long as possible. For 99.9% of girls, that's kissing your peak attractiveness good bye.</p>
<p>If it's too late for abortion, the baby will probably be born before Christmas if not before Thanksgiving or Halloween. Finals would be brutal just after having a baby and the spring wouldn't be much better with little sleep and a child who needs a lot of attention.</p>
<p>If you want to, when you see your buddies girlfriend, ask her if she wants to see this new karate move you just learned. If she says ok, say "Falcon punch!" and punch her in the baby area. </p>
<p>And if you couldn't tell, that was a joke.</p>
<p>it would still be really life-altering though... the difficulties and obstacles would just be different depending on the situations outside of college. Jobs, relationships with parents, how to raise the baby, where to live, how to provide, etc. now plays a part since the couple wont rely on university life, if they were living in a dorm, to somewhat help them and if the parents choose not to play a part, then the obstacles get even bigger... so it still is as life-altering even if graduation is close</p>
<p>I believe they have to be honest with yourself. Are they financially and socialy sound enought to rear a child? If yes, and both of them don't think rearing this child would hamper their carrer aspirations, it is all right. Or else, planning for the adoption of their baby is the best option.</p>
<p>But, if they now decide to rear the child and later feel tied down due to him/her, it will only make them and the baby unhappy in the longer run.</p>
<p>To cut short, Adoption or Rearing is the option as abortion, as u say, is out of equation.</p>
<p>Just a thought, did they decide to conceive the baby or was it due to unprotected sex? If this is the later, and I assume that it is, they have ****ed themselves. To all the guys and gals, who were talking about sex with great enthusiasm over here, this is a reality check.</p>

<p>Thanks, but I'll take my pill and condoms over not having sex. And I know that if I would happen to get pregnant, my boyfriend is graduating from grad school in December and already has some solid job offers on the table to help take care of him/her. We don't want a child right now, but if the situation arises we've discussed it and are prepared.</p>
