I regret to inform you that you will find MANY financially stable, emotionally stable, higher education TEEN MOTHERS on this site. Don't be so quick to judge. To the OP, tell your mother, get support. Talk about all of your options. Decide which option is best for you. Don't let anyone talk you into anything. This has to be your decision, be it adoption, parenting, abortion, whatever. But the most important thing you need to know is that it is NOT the end of the world. You can do anything if you have the right mindset. Be positive, make the best you can out of whatever you decide to do. If you decide to parent, there IS help out there. You can still graduate, still go to college, still get a high-paying job. The most important thing is to make your decision based on what YOU feel is best for YOURSELF and YOUR baby. By all means, put your baby before you. But don't neglect your feelings either. If you cannot stand to abort, don't do it. If you cannot EMOTIONALLY handle adoption, talk to your mother, talk to your school counsellor, talk to a shrink, talk to someone who can either help you emotionally get through an adoption (if, despite the emotional impact, that is what you decide is what is best)OR who can get you into parenting programs and assistance. You need to talk to an ADULT though.
P.S. To Sonofjames....please allow me to remind you that some of these girls here actually used birth control/had sex responsibly...I was one of those girls. She doesn't need a lecture that she will (and probably already had several times over)most likely recieve from every adult around her. She needs support. Friendship. Help. From people who have experienced what she is going through.
