Hold your head up and keep going. Tell yourself you can do this because you are a strong woman. You have to for the baby. It'll be tough, but you'll get through it.

Nobody can tell you what to do with your life, but there are many programs that can help you when you decide what you want to do. Life is harder with a baby , but it is not over. There are grants that you can get to pay for college (which I really reccomend if you want a career that can support your family). There are also programs that will pay for daycare while you are in school or at work. There is also a one time gift program that you can get from social services if you have never before requested aid, it is for things like a down payment on an apartment and getting on your feet kind of deal.
Dont let anybody make you feel like you cant still do whatever you want to. Babies are a blessing, and maybe you can use this surprise to motivate yourself to become successful. (If you wouldnt do it for yourself maybe you will make yourself do it for the baby) Congratulations on the new addition and I wish both of you the best..

as u said u need all the help u can get, and support of any kind, talk to your parents and ask them to help u. have u decided yet if u are keeping the baby? u can get some counselling to help u deicde on this one too, explore all your options and see what is the best solution for U. then u need to see if your parents are willing to help u, emotionally and financially. u also need to check with some hospital or other organisation that can help u with counselling and or financially. do not panic! it is not the end of the world :) there are just a few practical things u need to take care of first so that can take care of yourself and the baby. i guess u do realise this is a life commitment and too many responsibilities, u need to be prepares for really hard times :) u can also consult a lawyer about your rights on the parenthood issue. Please do not let him get away with this like that, so easily, he has responsibilities too, he may not want to marry u or anything but he or his parents have to aid u financially and force him to recognise the baby as his own so that the child has rights on him too. Dont try to seem "suprerior" than him and say that since he doesnt want to help u respect it. DO NOT respect it!!! u didnt do this on your own and he does not show any respect to u too.
take care :)

Healthy Start Program and WIC. Hospitals that have a clinic, should have this financial area to go to- call them, and ask about it. These are very helpful, and WIC will give you things like cheese, milk, eggs, peanut butter, cereal, etc. while you are preggo, and once you have your baby, will help with formula, juice and baby cereal. Goodluck, and sorry the guy left you-he's a loser and you don't need him. I hope your parents will help you too.

You need to make the decisions that will be right for YOUR life and that of the child if there will be one. We can not answer this for you. We could only tell you what we would do, which is about as variety as it can get. Just remember, the decisions you make will affect you for the rest of your life, in so many different ways.
Emotionally, physically, financially, etc. But no matter what you decide if its the right decision, stick with it and you'll never regret it.

Well if you are a teenparent you shouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place. You should have used pretection or not don it at all. Well the best thing for you to do is have your parents help you and I'm sure there are programes were you live that hepl pregnant mothers in your situation so look them up.

abortion, being a teen parent will be the hardest thing you could ever imagine! dont have it. you're going to ruin ur life and not be able to support this baby to the best ur ability as a teen. ur still young and need to mature on ur own.
you could join the military. they'd take care of you in ways (as a community) that you will NEVER get as a civilian

have you talked to your parents? that is where I would start, or a religious leader.
