That's unrealistic...the getting married part. I would tell my parents and talk about the best option and stop having sex because obviously 16 is too young. You don't just get married to someone because you are pregnant. That's stupid and something someone your age would come up with and think is a cure to a problem when it will only make things worse.

even if i were to get pregnant at 16 and get an offer of marriage at that same age from the father, um well then first of all my folks would go and beat him up and then lecture me on what and why i did what i did,....enough about me. um well i don't think that you can get legally married at age 16 yet, but you mush be absolutely sure that you are in LOVE with the guy. if ur not? well then tell him no but you can still be friends, maybe. and then if you already had the baby then you have two choices, maybe three. 1. adoption, so that you can finish school without having to worry about motherly stuff until after 2. keep the baby and have ur family watch hiim/her. 3. maybe after get's old enough, if you trust the guy you can give the baby to the dad?<- nm bad idea.

well I got pregnant @ 17 my senior year and had my son when i was 18 only 2 months after graduation. my sons father was my boyfriend for the last 2 years of high school and i thought we would be together forever since we were having a child together. boy was i wrong! don't let family and friend influence you no matter what you do. if you truly want to be with the baby's father then do if you aren't sure then wait. i though i wanted to be with my sons father and after he was born i seen how he really was and that wasn't the guy i wanted to be with. needless to say my sons father and i aren't together today because i found out he wasn't the person i thought he was! i was too young to be going through that and i am sorry you are at the age of 16 but good luck to what you choose to do!

oh boy the memories come back to me now,i got preganant at 16,i had my son and he is now 9 years old,its not the easiest thing but not the hardest eaither depends what you want in life,i wanted an abortion but the father wanted to keep it he also proposed to me and we got married whene i was 17 years old,it lasted two years but that was ok with me,i got my self on track went to university and got ajob and been happy,now have another baby,sometimes it might not be the right time then again when is right? but i do believe things happen for a reason,it is very exciting being a mother first time,and your baby will bring so much joy to you but there are the lows that go with it like when they start teething and support isd the main thing you need no matter who you are so if you have him wanting to stand by you and your ok with it then you go for it if things dont work out you will be ok and you will have your precious baby to look at every day and make you smile and sometimes mad :)

I have been in this position, I was a mom at 16 and married. by the time I was 18, I was divorced and a mom. we was too young to get married. he wasn't ready to settle down. he would go to work-come home-eat his supper and I cleaned the house and washed the dishes and took care of a baby while he was out with his friends. I'm not saying you situation is anything like this just please think before making any decissions. there are alternatives. concider all options. Best of luck!

Dont do it! Too many people do that and it ends up in divorce...there are plenty of people who have a kid together and wait.You dont want a kid to have to go through what could be the most horrible time of your life with you.When I got pregnant at 19,my EX asked me to marry him,I said no,I dont believe in divorce and I wouldn't get married just because of a pregnancy.And ya know what? WE HATE EACHOTHER NOW!I honestly wish he was dead........glad I didnt marry him.lol...good luck!

A baby is not a good reason to get married. It will certainly not keep a man if this is what you are thinking. I say wait, finish school and then decide if you want to marry.

it may be against my religion to abort the child but thts exactly wht i'd do... think about it.. if this guy who offers to marry me IS 16 aswell how equiped would he be to help me raise the child?.. even if i do decide to bring up the child on my own.. how am i gonna support the child.. i'm still in school.. i don't hv a job.. even if i were to drop outta school i wouldn't wanna continue workin as a waitress or part time jobs all my life.. i can't and won't wanna impose my mistake on my parents.. if it had happened to me.. i would abort.. i'm too young..
