im in my jr year and away from home...i haven't told anyone accept my boyfriend...im afraid i will have to drop out of school next year i need advice plz help
talk to the guidance counselor at the school. you shouldnt have to drop out. if you and your boyfriend have a job you can get an apartment near campus or something.
Who is paying for your college? If your parents are they may get disgusted enough to stop paying, let us hope they do not. Other wise start applying for grants and scholarships now.
You may also want to think about applying for Medical aid from your state to cover the cost of pregnancy and delivery. NOT cheap if you pay as you go. A baby costs between seven and ten thousand dollars private pay. Are you still on your parents insurance? that may help.
Are you and your 'boyfriend' making plans that involve a future commitment. You should be.
It is his child, he has a definite responsibility to you and that baby.
Good news, moms go to college all the time. it is not too hard to do. Talk to your guidance counselor and to the people at planned parenthood. and Good luck, sweetie. You will find this is the easy part.
there is other ways around this,like getting your own place etc

its good to know you are living up to your responsibilities
well done
so by the time the baby is born ull be a senior right? and as long as ur bf is there for u and to help you. I think u can do it. get a daycare. there are a lot of options to help young moms out there.
If you are working and in school, I would start looking at part time programs to finish your degree. Lots and lots of women finish college despite having a baby but it depends on your situation how easy it will be. I actually nannied for a woman who had a baby during her senior year of college. She was married though and her husband was supporting both of them. We coordinated our schedules at school so that I could watch the baby while she went to classes. Lots of colleges have child care centers especially for this purpose. Mothers can drop their children off for an hour or two while they are in class and pick them up again.
You need to figure out whether or not you can support yourself and the baby while still spending the time at class. Through a part-time program it might take longer to finish but it would take less hours each week. If you are on a schlarship you need to look at how many hours are required each semester to keep the scholarship. If you are getting help from your parents you need to tell them right away to see how supportive they are in continuing to help you once you become a mother. You also need to make sure your boyfriend is ready to step in and help raise this baby. If he is then maybe you can coordinate your schedules so that you each watch the baby while the other is at school. If he is not ready to help support this baby then you need to look into how to file for child support payments in your state. Don't let him jsut disappear.
There are ways to do anything. Just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you have to give up finishing college. Just make sure over the next 6 months that you get a solid plan ready for how to manage financially and how to provide care for the baby.
Good luck!
