HONEY life goes on you do not have to give up anything!! It's all up to you what do you want I think he can still go on with his goal and you can be there for him as he will be there for you. Yes the baby will change everything but u do not have to stop your dreams with it just bring the baby along with all your GOALS.

Well said.

You know what? My boyfriend wanted me to get an abortion when I told him that I was pregnant. He was worried about how he had worked so hard in school for the last twelve years and how his reputation would be ruined and that his family may disown him and you know what? Screw him and any guy that is so focused on themselves on not their child. I am sorry, but it makes me mad that the father of a child wants to kill it because of their lives, not their child. Needless to say I did not get an abortion and I had my son and his father is still involved in our lives. Life does go on I promise you. And everything you and he want to do with your lives is still and will always be possible! Yes it may be more difficult but still possible. I do it and so can you and my son's father still does it and so can your boyfriend. My son's father got a full ride to college and his a junior his first year and he went to college and is doing great, and I'm going to college and working towards my goals for my life as well. Best of luck and write me to tell me how everything is. I've been there....not too long ago either. My son is only 13 months old. It will all work out in the end, although the end may seem far away it's there. Hope to hear from you!
