Your only daughter gets pregnant in collge or high school,what do you do ?

I would enquire about the background of d guy.. If he is really genuine,responsible, and luvs my daughter, he would come forward and agree to marry her.. I wouldn`t hesitate to give my girl`s hands to him on marriage... But it were d vice versa case, abortion would be the only option. Since she cannot decide on relationships properly, i would not let her take any more important decisions on life..

I don't know what should be done from the point of moral but that happened to my sister. She is not the only daughter and she was 20 but it was still huge shock for my parents since they are more or less traditional. My mom was talking about putting her out of the house but that was just talk,she would never do that. She was very upset for a few days,barely spoke to people,it took me& my cousin to convince her it's not that bad. She might've been sad because my sister never told her and by that time she was about 6 months pregnant,just not showing. Whatever happened,it happened and wouldn't she be happy to have her 1st grandson? So my nephew is 9 years old now,we absolutely love him and don't ever regret that decision. As to baby's father... Well,he didn't care whe she got pregnant,didn't ever support her but a few years ago he saw the boy and started to insist on seeing him.I guess,a smart and charming kid induces more parental feelings than a crying weak baby. Now,I do agree that people make mistakes and we should be more tolerant but nobody in my family is planning on letting this guy see his son. He has a great guy to call dad and he's happy.

First, I would be surprised and shocked. Second, I'd be upset for a little while. Third, we'd sit down and talk things over. I would help my daughter through this situation. Depending on her age, she would get a job to help pay for what the baby would need. She would definitely be the primary caretaker for the child. My husband and I would help her when it was needed, but she would do a majority of it all. Abortion would definitely not be an option, and I would hope that adoption would not be an option either. I would hate to know that my grandchild was out in the world, and I would never get to know him/her.

Never has happened to me, but I have thought about how I would handle it. I think first I would assure her how important she is to me and that I love her. I would let her know that me and the whole family are 100% in support of her. Then I would see to it that she goes to a doctor that I trust. I would advise her that I'm not in favor of abortion and that should she have the baby, again...the whole family is there to help her and welcome a new addition to the family. Then I would let her make a decision about what she wanted to do. Whether she chose to keep the child or abort, I would respect her decision. The only thing I haven't really thought about is if she decided to put the child up for adoption. I would probably have a much bigger problem with that idea. I haven't thought much about the father in a situation like that.

well, first of all i would never "disown" my kids or put them out no matter what they did. i may not be happy with things they do or agree with them, but i will always be here for them. abortion is never an option with me. my husband and i would help them no matter what. that being said, i would not do everything for them. they would get a job, raise their child with our help, and do whatever they can to finish school. it's tough, but it can be done! :)

I talk very open to my daughter. I told her that I'll never, ever run out on her, I'll support her whatever will be, and it will be her choice to do what she wants. Things like that happen to everyone. Of course it will be vey painfull to see that she's giving away her dreams(at least for a while), to have a baby, but if this is what she wants, I'll be there for her always. That's what mothers are for.

I would probably be disappointed at my daughter but I don't think I would put her out of the house or have her abort the baby. I would assess the situation, like who the father is, why they did it, whether or not they really love each other. I would assure my daughter that though I am not happy with what they did and the situation, I still love her and will do everything I can to help her. I will have her continue her studies but she will have to find ways to generate income to support the child too. Getting married with the guy is not a must but could be an option if they are really in love and we, the parents, assessed that they understand the meaning of commitment in marriage.

I hope my daughters and I will have the relationship where they won't have to hide it from me. I wouldn't kick them out. I know some people think thats the answer but how could you? I wouldn't make them have an abortion b/c I don't believe in them. I would make them go through the pregnancy. I think that is punishment enough. The heartburn going to the bathroom a million times a day, the pains. I would let them make a decission if they wanted to have the baby adopted. I don't think I could let my grandchild be adopted though. I would help in anyway I could but I do hope that my kids will be informed enough to know better and not get pregnant too young. Kids are a lot of work for anyone.

At the end of the day she is still my daughter and while she will ahve a hugh responsibility, I can hardly tell ehr what to do with her own body at that age. So the choice is hers and I will support her in that no matter if I do not like it. The only thing I can tell her after that is to finish her education as soon as she can and make sure she do not make the same mistake twice.

she is my daughter, if i turn her away who can she turn to. yes, i'd be disappointed and yes angry. but why cry over split milk. she would have to take responsibilities of her actions and i'd just have to be there to help her. whether to keep the child or not would be up to her. if she wants to keep the child, i'd respect her decision. if she doesn't want the child, i'd pay for her medical fees. to me education is VERY important. i would definitely want her to return to school and complete her education. by hook or by crook i'd make sure she finishes up to at least a diploma. as for the father of the child, if they want to get married, i'd do my best to prepare the both of them of their future challenges. but if the bugger decides to not take up responsibility, i'd just have a talk with his parents and demand he at least pay a minimal fees for the upbringing of his child. but all these a hypothetical. i have not met with such situation and i can give you with very rational answers. it's always different when it happens to you real life.

This actually did happen to me. Me daughter was still in high school. I believe that abortion is murder from conception. A friend showed me a scripture that from conception Jah see that is a person. My daughter only had a few months to graduate. She left school to have the baby. The following year she finished school. My beautiful grandson is 9yrs. now and very intellegent boy. My daughter went on to college and is now a school teacher. She is the only collage grad in our family. Im so proud of her. The thing you should do is pray. Jah grant me the serenty to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can. and the wisdom to know the difference. Life is only given by Jah and therefore the only one that should rightfully take it. You never know who your grandchild may grow to be. May be a very important person we all need to have. Pray!!!

i will support her, Abortion wont be an option. We will keep the child, and i will allow her to go back in school, Its better to finish her education and get a good job because it will put her and her baby in a better place

at first i will be mad at her, i will curse her or what.. but then if we should try to realize that its already there and we have nothing to do but to deal with it.. i will just support her all the way and maybe its better than she aborts the baby that she's carrying and that's a lot of burden, emotional, mental, spiritual and physical.

Abortion would be mandatory. Having a child at a young age without getting married would ruin her future, and I would never want that to happen. Her future would be tiring and hard, and I wouldn't want that for her.

I would help her so that the baby will be born in a family and help my daughter to understand her responsibility to take care of him and further her education. I will never consider abortion as an option. It is the easy way out. It is killing of an unborn child

I was the cause of such a situation and I found myself as a parent facing the same situation. My first concern was how my child felt about the situation. In our case both my daughter and the young man responsible chose the abortion, we honored their wishes even though it would not have been our choice. Right or wrong that's what happen to us.

I have a daughter and I love her so much that I cannot contemplate ever turning my back on her; she is only seven and I often wonder how we will be dealing with the teenage years and that includes boys. If my daughter was to come home pregnant I would have to stand by her and help her. That is not to say that I would not be disappointed but I feel parents should support their children especially when they need them the most.

Well you can't change what happened so I would have to support her and make sure she gets what she needs. Going back to school (if in college) would be her choice. High school I would make her finish. I don't think I would be happy with what happened, but like I said I can't change it and would just hope it would grow on me. Either way I would support her.

I'm still single but I asked this this to my mom. She said that she will be disgusted at first but she will accept it eventually. She said that she will still guide and love her (daughter) if this will happen to her.

I will support her...what ever happens...Im still his caring father :) ABORTION IS NOT AN OPTION, AND WILL NEVER BE AN OPTION
