My boyfriend and I have been having sex
for 6 months, i've been on birth control
for 4. I stopped taking it after this
last period because we want to start our
family. First of all how long will it
take for the birth control effect to wear
off so I can concieve, and second of all,
does anyone from michigan know the laws
about minors and children. If my
boyfriend who is 16 and I did get pregnant
*i'm 18* would he legally be like
emancipated? I can't find it in any law
books... Thanks for the help anyone!

Maybe you should be worrying about other
things before that. Like how you will
support a baby, where will you live, where
will you work, and how will you be bable
to get the baby the best life it deserves
- not just that you can give. Why don't
you focus on finishing highschool and
gettting into a college before you start
planning a family? I'm sorry, but don't
be stupid and selfish. You two are way
too young. Ther is a lot of life to live
and enjoy before you have a child,
otherwise your bound to mess up and have
regrets.

I am in college. Yes he is still is high
school, but we've discussed all of
thethigs you've listed. We have a place
to live, a source of income, and an
immediate family and circle of friends who
are more than willing to help if needed.
We are neither stupid nor selfish for the
simple fact that we are ready to concieve.
I just wondered if it were to happen if
it would be considered a legal
emancipation. So... Thanks?!?!?!?

I think you should be able to conceive
like very soon after. Im from michigan
but I dont really know the laws.. He can
get emancipated if he proves he can live
on his own.. But I dont know if hes
automatically emancipated.Good luck!

I don't mean to offend you. I just truly
know and believe that you and your 16 year
old boyfriend are too young. He is not
going to be able to find good work and
either are you without the proper
education. A baby really changes
everything. And when I said a life the
baby deserves I meant not that you
couldn't provide, but you would be much
better equipped later in life when you and
your boyfreind have careers and are
married to provide a child with a much
better life than you can right now. It
is true that wanting a baby before you can
properly take care of it is selfish. You
are only thinking of yourselves not the
life of the child. You are only children
yourselves. Being 18 and sexually active
does not make you a "grown-up," living and
experiencing life does. Please, for your
own sake wait until you are older,
married, have a career/stable income, and
your own home.
