What happens if you're 17 & pregnant?

Well your parents take over everything I guess. From planning what to do with the baby & to a large extend what to do with you. Some people give the baby up for adoption & the 17 year old can lead a normal life again, almost as if the pregnancy never happens. Others do keep the baby, the grandparents became the surrogate parents of sorts, as no 17 yr old know anything about bring up babies, not from our society anyway.

Krissy my brother's ex-girlfriend's parents has decided on keeping the child. Maybe because Krissy is the only child anyway. The father of the baby, another 17 year old friend of my brother's wont be involved at all. That's the initial plan.

However all that quickly changed when the baby was born last week. It's a BOY, Benji !!! Very cute, thick curly hair & big black eyes. I went to visit & fell in love immediately. No wonder, everyone wants a part of it now. There's even talks about 'marriage' just to keep the ties alive! I looked at Krissy, she's still a child , herself. The boy friend is almost a replica of my silly brother, the same 'Korean' hair do, dressing etc... sigh....  that's what most 17 year old boys look like anyway.

Krissy's parents were not happy. They didn't like Benji's father, calls him a punk! Well don't know what's next. But I was thinking, marriage at 17??? don't sound like a good idea at all !
