I admire the level of maturity that you've shown here, and admire that you're there for her. The best thing you can do is go and speak to local government offices to find out exactly what you're entitled to, and what you can do to help. Make sure you go to doctor's appointments wit her, and look around for small jobs you can do to bring in extra money here and there. Also, it's very important you continue with your learning. You need qualifications to be able to get a decent job, and I'm sure you want a decent job. It'll be hard, but if you can get through this, you'll be in a better position that most people who become parents later in life. You've just got to accept that it's going to be hard.

I can see how you must be both excited and scared. Any guy whether he is 15, 30 or 50 feels this way when he hears that he is going to be a dad.
You know, in life usually when you work hard at something, it will pay off. If you work at being a good dad, that is what you will become.
You're probably going to have some challenging times ahead of you, but try and stay true to yourself and do what you feel is right thing and everything will work out OK. Good luck dude!

Very young, I agree tho. No terminating the pregnancy. You have made your choice. No matter what be there for the child. You might say you love her now, but what about 5 years from now. Close your eyes do you see yourself with her 5 to 10 years from now. Do not say yes cause how you feel now count the good and the bad.
After all that imagine your child. Be there for him/her Be the father. You choose it now take it. I am not trying to sound rude I am being honest, That child will need you no matter what. Do as you are doing now, Take the job corps. Build a future for you first. So that way you have a future for your offspring

Having said that it seems like you are taking responsibility for everything. A shame both of you have to grow up so fast but be there for each other and I'm sure the burden will be lighter.
I think there's a lot of research you can do on the internet in terms of dealing with the pressure, preparing for the kid or just plain trying to be a good partner.
Good luck to the 3 of you. ^_^
