Talk to an attorney. You have rights and responsibilities as the baby's father, but you also have a legal issue because you're underaged. If the girl is underage, too, you have a statutory rape issue. Any way you look at it, you need an attorney. And no, I'm not one. Good luck.

Learn to spell for starters.
Two, the man has every right to be involved in the child's life and it's a moot point to try to say otherwise. If you're interested in having a part in the baby's life, you can demand contact and it's your legal right. But it's also your legal right to pay child support when you come of age (18+).
If she's having an abortion, there's not much you can do as its her choice. Right now I'm thinking you're more concerned about the girl, then the child - in which case you may want to go to her house and talk to her parents and see what exactly is going on. Consult a guidance counselor as well if needbe.
edit - Statutory rape only occurs when one of the individuals is underage and the other is over 18+. Seeing as how the poster stated they were underage, they are not at fault. If the girlfriend is over 18 it becomes statutory rape, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

Thank you for being concerned about the baby and your mistake. Don't do anything that will be another mistake! Talk to her and her parents like an adult because you have now grown up quickly and will have tons of responsibility from now on. Ask what they would prefer you do now that you two have made a baby. You and your parents will tell them how you would like to handle this. Then it is up to everybody to go over all of the facts and "compromise" on the best possible situation for the baby(1st) and both families. It will not be a perfect set up for all, but that is a given due to the problem.When you are of age you need to work and pay support on the baby. Maybe your parents will pay until then or you can work part time and pay your wages until you are out of school and can get a full time job or better p/t job while in trade school or college. You should pay your parents back as soon as you can even if they say no. You will be being the responsible adult and feel better about the situation. Child suppoort is not in their job description as parents but I know they will help lovingly. If you should want and get the baby look out because you have given up ALL of your freetime,extras,supped up car, etc. and must always do what is right for the baby in the present and for his future success. Every decision you make will impact his future! If she wants to give the baby up for adoption, get a lawyer and get the baby IF you are the best person to raise him! Look deep inside yourself and your family to make sure before you make this decision! If she wants to abort the baby, get a lawyer and stop her because you have right's as a father. Then you can decide upon adoption,family adoption, or family helping you with YOU really being the most involved in raising him. Don't say it will happen and then let it fall into your parents arms and finances. They have already raised a family.

u weren't to young to get her pg were u. If her family is willing to help support her let them BUT be a man get a part time job, give her at least 1/2 keep in contact with her and u child. then when u get older and out of College, your child will know u.i have seen men try to come into their child's life and they don't know anything about them that is so wrong. if u 2 r trying to resolve this as adults as much possible and they still refuse to let u be a part of this child's life. then get a lawyer. but just don't sit back and do nothing ( 4 the child's sake not yours) NOW GO OUT AND BUY SOME CONDOMS ASAP!!!!!!!!!

You need to deal with this issue and not ignore it. If in fact you are the father you need to either declare paternity or waive paternal rights. This must be done in a legal way and I strongly suggest you get an attorney or at least professional legal advice. Failure to do this may result in you owing back child support in the sum of ten's of thousands of dollars all at once. Make no mistake how you handle this situation will affect the rest of your life.

Call a lawyer and just ask what your rights are to this baby since you are the father. Just because you are underage does not mean that you can't do much. If you are this childs father then you have as much rights as any other father does.

Not much you can do right now. Wait until you and she are both adults and then try to get paternity rights through the courts. You may need to start paying child support at that point too.

Did you tell your parents? You do need to seek legal advice before she leaves. If you really want something to do with the child.
