[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 239492, member: 1233"] It IS hard to watch. And hard to know how much support to offer with-o it seeming like you condone their choices. I have a cousin who is 1 day less than 1 year older than Wiz. this cousin and his girlfriend got pregnant. She is due in a couple of months. Both are Catholic and they are getting married. It will be a tough life, but they have relatives who will watch the baby while they work and are in school. This girl has been a wonderful influence on my cousin (to the point of coming over to his parents' home and making a chore list of what SHE expected him to do to help his mom keep the house clean and maintained! - we ALL laughed at that, but she actually won't go out with him until those chores are DONE and if his grades slip she makes him study!) . I hoenstly think they will make it, although it will be hard. At the very least they will be good parents and will stay away from drugs and alcohol (cousin's dad is an alcoholic and druggie). It is hard, but not the end of anyone's life. Changes the dreams and hopes, but even college is still possible. I hope this friend and his girlfriend are able to remain on good terms if they don't make it as a couple. Hopefully they can both be very good parents and work together for the child's sake. Hugs to you, I know it was a shock and is hard on a parent. [/QUOTE]
