Hon, you are only 17, your parents have to help you!! Or allow you to get emancipated so that you can get help, and Plan Parenthood can help without them! Call child protective services on your parents!

You have options but it's up to you to take them.Sounds like you want to be a grown up when you want to but your not.Hope is not going to fix anything, action will.
You need to go home.Tell them you are confused in life about everything including religion.This should be your first and your smartest choice as your obviously not ready or you wouldn't be asking in the first place.
Go to Catholic charitys they may have a home if you should want to place the child up for adoption.You and Dad can't take care of yourselves, let alone a baby.
You can contact the court house in the county you were born to get a certified copy of your birth certificate and go from there.Don't know what to tell you if you weren't born in U.S.
County health Dept. should look at you and you should be able to get a county clearance for family planning to have the child on your own.
You need to look harder to get a job, they are there.
Stop whining and grow-up if you want to make your own decisions.Start making them instead of rebeling.
Look in phone book for homeless hotline and shelters.
Keep asking questions, thats the only way your gonna learn because even though your 17 you don't know everything.You'll learn until your dead and you are only 17, you said it yourself above right?
Good luck, you can always e-mail me.I'm not a sugar coater and I will try my best to guide you.

Okay, to get an I.D. get your birth certificate, and tell your parents you need them to sign the papers so that you can be out of their hair. Try whatever you can. If not that, you may need to get emancipated from them. That way you can make your own decisions without them. Another thing, you can go to planned parenthood to get help with your pregnancy, you don't need to have permission from your parents or anything there anyways. Have you tried the not so desirable jobs like Mcdonalds or what not? Grocery stores? Try craigslist.org for job postings, I found my job on there. Good luck, I hope everything works out for you!
Here is a link for info on emancipation.

The first and the most important thing that you'd have to do to survive is to get married with your boy friend. If you get married with your child's father and prove it to the local government office then you'll start to have some facility from government. There are social institution who would help you to do it, and to get a job. Start searching for such connections, and medical attention. I'd like to know about you more, you'd find my contact addresses in the address below.

you're in a no longer trouble-free spot and in user-friendly terms 17. there are a number of county classes for unwed mothers etc... go on your interior reach county workplace and inquire. As for a place to stay i might advise Salvation military. next, i might attempt all i ought to to get advice out of your mothers and fathers. i understand which would be a stretch, yet you would be shocked how households can pull mutually in a disaster. Then finally, because of the fact you're unwed that's advisable to think approximately adoption. this would not mean you do in comparison to your newborn, on the alternative. To undertake out a newborn to a married couple who've been no longer able to have toddlers is loving your newborn to the fullest. it is going to offer this newborn a mom and a father who's able to fulfill the desires of that newborn. think of approximately it. you're very youthful and my heart is going out to you. Our moments of passing excitement and keenness can convey years of misery and grief.

Do you have a birth certificate? Drivers license? Those are accepted ID's.
