i think you chould put a hold on the wedding right now .. find a place where you can make good money and also love the job you do .. then you will be happy and it will be e little easier to deal with home situations.. if you love the girl and im sure you will love the baby then go on with the wedding dont do it because you feel you have to .. i dont think y ou are to young .. if you are willing to pass up the years to come you will miss alot of things but you have to ask yourself what is more important to you.. good luck with everything

you should think first before doing it. You're too young for that. I know that most of westeners are liberated but we have also same problem here. You see, curiosity kills the cat. take that as a serious matter not as an urge. Just try to be a good father to your child so he won't end up the same like you.

it's never late or early to become a man, some of the knowledge is gained after a person is married its a cycle and most of people have to complete it, so don't be nervous just go say to your financee don't worry i'll be always there for you every day of your life BYEEEEEEEEEEEEE......................

In My opinion if you are old enough to make babies you are old enough to get married. that baby deserves a daddy. so you don't like your job? take some night classes and get an educationand look for a job you might like. No job is Ideal. But marry the girl and take care of that little baby. It didn't ask to be born.

Wow, yeah you are much too young. I guess its cool that you are stepping up to the plate and supporting your girlfriend, but my advise would be to get couples and marriage counseling now. It is hard to maintain a marriage when you are older and wiser, so imagine the difficulties when you are still trying to learn about world, explore things and places...it's going to be tough. So work hard at it, love each over, stay faithful, and give your child a good, safe, and caring home to grow up in.

well you are, in my opinion. But if you'll have a baby, it was good to ask your fiancee to marry you! Good luck in your life and be happy with them!!!

there is no specific age for getting married and/or having a baby. you feel that you are ready, that's it. i think that every parent felt the way you are doing now,but...people keep on having babies and keep on getting married! for your job...if you stop someone that is walking down the street and ask him/her "do you like your job?", you are very unlikely to hear "yes, i love it!". anyway, it is someone you must do. you are still young, adn you are at the beginning of your working life. if that's not the job you have always drreamt of, the consider it just a stepstone. something you did to learn something useful for your future and acquiring experience and new skills. by working, you have the chance to know a lot of people, and if you do your best, there will always be a chance for you to improve your situation, just be patient and work hard. remember, as i said you before, it is just a matter of time. what is happening to you has happend to almost anybody; try to ask to your parents and listen what they say. good luck!

How old is she? Are you marrying her because she is pregnant? If so then I would say don't do it. A baby is no reason to get married. YOu get married because you love each other and want to spend the rest of your lives together. You can raise a baby and not be married. As far as the job, you have 6 months until the baby is born to find you a job that you like. But don't quit the first one until you have a new one. I wish you luck.

Yes you probably are too young...sounds that way to me from your disliking of your job for one...sounds like you want more in life and starting families can get int he way of that..HOWEVER at the same time by marrying the mother of your child it sounds like you are doing the right thing...morally speaking by most standards..therefore it is now just up to the two of you together battle together for your dreams and caring for your child and raising it at the same time...I think it is quite possible and I wish you the best of luck

If you truly want to marry her and not just because she is pregnant than go ahead, but it sounds as if your not sure if your asking others if it's too young..

Let me ask you first a question before i proceed!...How old is your financee!?...Why did you put yourself in the situation without knowing that anytime she'll get pregnant!?...And plus, you dont know if can do it!..Your not sure to accept all the responsiblities coming your way!...Men, you need to face it and dont run away from it!...It doesnt solve your problem! Its good that your getting but i think its to early!..You need to plan first for your future and stable your status first!...engage first before marriage!...

theres not much to say... if you truly love her, aside from the fact that she's pregnant, i say its going to be hard but love conquers all... but if you're getting married just to make things easier its the wrong thing to do.. not only for you, but for her and your unborn child. i have friends that made your same decision, and now they have to think about themselves always fighting and not being happy with the life of a 3 year old boy hanging in the balance.

No its not bad, i do not think the age of 19 is to younger to be a mom-dad for any one, well if you are satisfy than why you think about others.
