Used to be when you died in your 30's-40's, that you'd get married at 12-14, so I don't see the age as a big deal. Don't kill a kid, you'll be making a serious emotional harm that will never be able to fully go away.

As with the others, you need to find out if it is/isn't his kid. Secondly, if it is his kid, he needs to be able to dig in and work something that allows him to make his own home.

If he's a careful attentive kid, I could suggest becoming an apprentice machinists, lots of demand for a good machinist. Might cap in life at $30-60K yearly, but thats enough to live on in most places of the country.

Teaching irresponsibility at this point is going to make the rest of his life a deep hell that will be very hard to dig out of. I find guys that didn't man up to where they stuck themselves up, have very poor work ethics, and rarely ever can stick with a decent job. Fourty years down the road, it won't be good.
