If your girlfriend gets pregnant, she gets to decide what to do about the pregnancy, whether it's abortion, adoption or raising the child. You have no legal say in her decision. That's her right.

But if she decides to keep the baby, you will be expected to help pay for raising the child. That means child support payments for the next 18 years. So, what does that tell you? Be careful! Sometimes guys leave the protection and birth control concerns up to girls, and that's a big mistake.

Of course, you can always choose not to have sex, which is the only 100 percent, for-sure way to prevent pregnancy.

If you decide to have sex, you and your girlfriend should visit a local clinic, like Planned Parenthood, to learn about all of your contraceptive options. You should also ALWAYS wear a condom, even if your girlfriend is on the Pill, to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted disease.
