I quite honestly have very little against young people having a child. In-fact, it is healthier for the mother and the child the younger the mother is when she gives birth.
Most importantly however, the child must be properly cared and provided for, and since you and your girlfriend are still in school you may have a limited amount of time you may spend on caring for your child. The next people that would be responsible are your parents and your girlfriends parents but before dropping a baby into their laps you absolutely must speak with them. A lot of mothers with teenage or grown up kids would secretly love to have a little baby again, so talk this through with them and see if they are even financially stable and have the time to support a new member of the family.
If the potential grandparents are opposed to the suggestion, understand that they may have their reasons, they may not want to take on the responsibility, they have their own lives and you and your girlfriend must wait until the two of you are capable of supporting a family of your own.
