 Age is just a number but there is a law here that was broken. You had sex with a minor, thus committing statutory rape regardless if it was consented or not. Now, your pregnant, just hope his parents don't decide to press charges. He lied to you about his age, thus he's pretty immature for doing so...Girls do mature faster than boys.

It's wrong and likely illegal in the state you reside in. Seek legal counsel before going to give birth if you plan on disclosing who the father is.

oh my god. some people are so rude. NO you're not a bad person. you cant change your feelings. and you didnt know he was this young. Im 17 and my boyfriend is 23. age to me is just a number and its not going to stop me from who i love. although he is young to have a baby its possible i know many people who have had babys at young ages. maybe it will make him mature, maybe it wont. and you're 19, you know how to take care of a baby im sure. so i think you will be okay =]
and when you do have his baby.. you could say you dont know who the father is. and when hes legal change the birth certificate and put his name on there. I want a baby myself.. but i think im infertile or he has low sperm count.. Idk. but congrats on the baby! & hopefully you will work things out.

reader, anonymous, writes (10 September 2010): I empathise with you because a very similar thing happened to me several years ago. I fell in love with someone who was a little bit younger than me (I thought), except that 2 years after being very involved with this man, I realised that he had lied about his age and was in fact quite a lot younger than me and only just turned legal when he told me his real age.
I was extremely angry with him for putting me in that position, and with me for ...well, for allowing myself to get duped, but as I said, I was deeply in love with him by that stage and by then he was over the legal age limit. I often question what my reaction would have been if he had not quite reached legal age yet. A difficult decision would have had to be made.
Please ignore the accusatory comment by one anonymous male here. You have the birth of your child to look forward to and that for now, is your priority. I cannot advise on the legal issues in your country, but even if it does become a problem, right now is not the time to worry about that. However, I do think you should seek legal advice, and take it from there. After all, you have not told us how old you believed your boyfriend was when you got together, nor whether you knew his real age when you got pregnant by him. I'm just trying to illustrate that there may be reasons why you did what you did.
In terms of your feelings being 'wrong', no of course they are not wrong. You cannot be condemned for feeling the way you do and especially not when you didn't know all the facts of his age when you started this relationship. You are young and he even more so. However, you do have to bear in mind the legalities of your situation within the state you live in, seek legal advice, and you will have to act accordingly. Good luck and all the best with baby.

 Weelll, don't focus so much on the age thing. He lied, you're older blah blah :p No, I personally don't think you are a bad person for feelings you cannot help. But, you have a baby coming and since this boy thought himself mature enough to date you, he's going to have to walk his talk. Let me tell right now that this situation is going to be a lot of pressure on his head. Women mature faster than men so that will might make the age gap seem even wider. Be prepared to deal with his feelings of frustration...but then again, I might be wrong and he may be quite mature and able to handle this. I can't say for sure...whats done is done, you will both soon have a baby. A life to nurture and love. Babies don't care about mommy or daddy's age! Congrats on the baby and good luck!

reader, anonymous, writes (10 September 2010): Wow... Besides the statutory rape situation the age thing really isn't a big deal. He lied about his age for a year? He was 13 then?? Because 9 months ago he was 14... give me a break. You really need to get some professional help if you think having sex with 14 and 15 years old is okay at 19. This boy doesn't have a clue what his life is about yet (and neither do you), but he is really really clueless whereas you are just somewhat clueless. Good luck with it. Except for the fact that your child would be screwed through no fault of its own, I would hope you go to jail for what you've done.

 He lied to you so of course you are NOT to blame for falling for him before you found out how old (or should I say young) he actually is. I guess he could get emancipated or something and even get married but the question is do you think he's mature enough to be a husband and a father, and is he even to be trusted considering he's been lying to you for a whole year... Don't think about what others say, who cares, all that's important is that you, as a mother, figure out what's the best decision you can make for your kid. Good luck:)

 Well the age thing is a huge issue seeing as how you are an adult and he is a minor. That baby might be the worst thing for you legally. There is no happy ending that you are hoping for since the law won't see it that way.
