As said, be supportive. If you can have the child, I would highly suggest that. It may seem difficult now, but you are never going to feel 100% ready anyway.
If you can't support the child, please please look at adoption. It completely pisses me off when it is said that abortion is the best option, with adoption second. I myself am adopted, as my birth mother was 16 and poor and couldn't support me. I thank God for her decision to put me up for adoption and "throw her life off track for 9 months" (as it was so callously put above...) so that I could enjoy my life now.
I don't have many heroes, but my birth mother is most definitely one of them.
Whatever you both decide will affect more than just you, so please think it through.
