Pregnant...schooling?

Your parents should be able to talk to your school district. There are alternatives to mainstream school, there are online options, etc.

My advice is ignore any odd looks and talk and power through school. Once you drop out and have a kid its very hard to get back to school. I took me over 12 years to get back into school after I dropped out. If there is an alternative school go for that if not just stay in and power through.

On the online options be very careful. I good friend of mine did that. When she dropped out of H.S. she went and talked to the Board of Ed. for our county about an online program to get her H.S diploma. They recommended a very well known correspondence school to finish out her diploma. This program cost her over 1,000$ to complete. Well now just a few short years later she is told that diploma is no good at our college (I am attending there to get my GED). So after spending 1 grand to get a diploma its no good.

Aside from that online programs are gonna cost a bunch. Check online but I would be surprised if you could find such a program online for under a grand. If you decide to go the online route make sure its gonna be good at the colleges in your area.

i deffinatly do not want to drop out. my goal is to graduate from highschool with my class, and also to hopefully attend college.

thank you for letting me know about the online schooling i didnt know about that,

i got pregnant in my grade 11 year and i wasnt due till november of my grade 12 year.
what i did is i finnished my grade 11 year at school then dropped out of public school and did home schooling.
i actualy found home schooling alot easier, and faster.
i graduated half a semester early. with extra credits.
you can do it. if i can. anybody can.

im due the end of june, so basically i will be pregnant this whole school year (grade 10). but homeschooling is definattly a good idea, thank you

Have you considered placing your child for adoption. Studies show that unwed mothers who place their babies for adoption are more likely to finish school, get married and not live in poverty. Adoption is a responsible choice, putting the needs of the child ahead of your own.

No, adoption was never an option for me. I could not have that baby inside of me for 9 moths and then give it up. Both parents have offered to watch the baby while i am attending school and they are both very supportive of my decisions.

im happy that you will finnish school! thats great news!
YOU will be a great mother for doing this. you will give your child what the statics say you wont.
girls like US are the ones who can change the looks on people faces.

Thank you so much for that. I could never imagine not finishing school. How else would i be able to provide for me baby? I refuse to be one of the teen moms living off welfare and sitting home doing nothing about it. I want my baby to have the best life possible.
