I have a lot of respect for a guy who takes on another mans baby, especailly in this situation. Long as your comfortable and don't feel you were pushed into this then its ok. Also your step mum will have to stop calling you gay!

softtouchmale2003 agony auntTo add to your misery, you have a pregnant girlfriend who's been raped. You've got a handful. But my advice stands still.

You've taken on a responsibility and unfortunately you need to care for her and eventually the baby.

Well if you've convinced a court that you can cope on your own then yes, you probably have grown up too fast.

You are now living as an adult.

But to be honest, you can't turn around now and complain. If you wanted to enjoy your childhood then you should have done and not had sex and not gone through a court battle. You could easily have stayed at home and lit your parents help you.

You're an adult and you're going to have a pretty hard life. But you made that choice.

Now I just suggest you work as hard as you can to get the best qualifications you can because you have a woman and child to support.

Good Luck!! xx

Well at 15 if you can live for free off the taxpayers and have knocked up your child girlfreind life must be pretty good. Soon enough you'll need to get a job and start supporting the 3 of you. An education might be a good idea, as you're not going to be able to keep your child in nappys working for minimum wage.

softtouchmale2003 agony auntBritt429 has hit the nail on the head for you.

I can only add that you are growing up fast, but I hope you understand that under these circumstances as unfair as it is, please learn patience and spend a great deal of time caring for your girlfriend.

This is the time when you're going to have to choose to think of other people from now on in your life, and my best advice to you is always remember that she's important and your baby's important to you both. Because of that, you're going to have to be concerned about them from now on.

Its an awesome responsibility, but when your baby's born, the two of you will have a new life in your hands. That's both wonderful and incredibly scary at once.

Try and prepare yourselves for your child. If your parents collectively love the two of you, rely on them helping you out with some advice here and there.

The only other thing is, if you and she can, try and finish up school and make ends meet. You're both going to need an education too.

scrdofyou agony auntoh my god. yes you are growing WAY too fast! you should enjoy your life! let your mom be apart of it! just cause youre having a baby doesnt mean youre grown! you will need help sometime or another, and if you do this to the people who LOVE you, then who will be there when you really need them? Think about these kinds of things before you make your decisions! If I were you I would call my mom up RIGHT NOW and tell her I want her apart of my life, you could lose something permanently, over something so stupid, and who knows you may want her to be there one day!
