And now I need to be a father. I'm only 20, with no undergrad degree. My and my gf drank too much one night and made bad decisions. My gf doesn't even attend a post-secondary institution. My parents have shunned me and got mad at me for getting her pregnant. Her parents have abandoned her ever since she was 15 and found out she had done some marijiuana.

Any tips on how to parent a new born baby coming in 7 months? How do I cope with the financial difficulties? None of us are currently employed.

























































APRIL FOOLS!!

Bah, that was rather cold :x. This really is the case for many, many people.

...But I'll let you off, just today. :)

You can always tell it's an April fool's joke when there's a huge gap in the post you have to scroll down.

Tip for future jokers: It would work better if you let people make a few replies, just keep it going for a bit and THEN make a post saying it's an April fool's joke.

Thanks for NOT doing that. I'd much prefer you don't waste the time of our busy parents by letting them fall for a joke. We're all so nose to grindstone we'd actually try to help, taking precious time away from those who actually do need us.

I'm sure Monkey didn't mean to but she gave the perfect "how to do" for trolling.
The irony is that nowadays, on forums, it's not possible anymore to do those pranks, even when looking on the calendar it's plain to see we're on the 1st of April.

I appreciated the prank, and it put a smile on my face, so thanks for brightening my day :D

Sometimes I think we take things far too seriously.

LOL. But shame the day is almost over. I am all worn out from the pranks I have done. I was going to do more here and then I found out I was spamming, breaking a rule here, oops and I never got one PM about it until I had to see a mod telling the OP to stop spamming and that is violates the TOS. That is how I found out. So now I have learned doing more than one AF prank falls under the TOS violation and it counts as spam.


And the huge space is a dead give away and I laughed when I read it.


And so interesting to see doing these pranks counts as trolling.

Sometimes I think the rules were made by nazis... forum nazis. :P

...Oh uhh, hi Mr. Mod! Ooh did you do something new with your hair? You look very nice today, by the way keep up the good work... * whistles*

When it's taken to the extremes that Jc6chan has taken it... it's pretty much spam.

And It's not just a harmless prank when you're taking support away from others who really need it.

Fun's fine as long as it's not potentially harming anyone.
