NordicNathan tells us more.
Hey, I'm the author of the FML. So to clarify I just turned 16, she just turned 17 and is in the 12th grade. I've had my doubts about our relationship for a while because of how incompatible we are as people, but her talking about what she wants to name our kids and how cute they will be was kind of the last straw for me. She said "I love you" after our second time seeing each other and after she had already cheated on me, so I definitely hear all the comments about telling her my concerns and/or breaking up with her. But she cries at the drop of a hat and is what I would consider emotionally unstable, this is also the reason I didn't break up with her after she cheated on me. I wasn't raised to make people cry so I tried to be understanding in the situation. She is so bad that she is still crying about her previous boyfriend while telling me that I'm the best boyfriend ever. So I don't know how to break it to her without crushing her. Any ideas?

Sounds like she needs a cold slap of reality. Have a serious talk with her and explain that you have absolutely none of that on your mind right now. If she doesn't get it, dump her. Try to let her down easy, though, and don't think too harshly of her. She may very well be crazy, or she might just be immature and will grow out of it by the end of highschool. You'd be surprised how many girls your age think they're going to marry their current boyfriend.
^This. Maybe even ask your parents for advice. They should be understanding that you're uncomfortable with discussing things like marriage and kids at your age. Definitely talk to her about this, though. It's not good to lead her on, and let her keep thinking you're ok with this. One of the key aspects of a good relationship is communication.
You're right on the money. Stay the course you are on and finish school, get financially stable, and then think of marriage and kids.
RUN!
she wants you to do high schools with her child ;)
I say once 1 if not the both of you have a stable job why not so I would say she should ask again in 10 years

Not a bad boyfriend. Just a boyfriend that has his priorities straight.
I'm glad for once someone has their priorities straight
