Please tell me that they are triplets!!

Do NOT drop out. Do whatever it takes, just go to school. I had my first child at 19 and it was as hard as ever. I was diligent and of course I couldn't hang out the way everyone else did and there was no dorm life but I made it. Even if you don't work in your degree field of study, the accomplishment will say a whole lot about your character. Along the line, there will be many judgmental people, ignore them. Everyone has made a mistake (not saying your children are literally mistakes). Keep your chin up and keep on living. This won't be the last set-back. Trust me.

P.S.
If you have to, take 2 or three classes at the college and 2 or three online credit classes. This will give you more time at home and still be a full-time student. DO NOT DROP OUT! No matter how hard it gets. Remember, you are doing this for those babies so you all will have a better life.

I am a consular on a local website and I would suggest that you make short time goal. The first should be to finish High school. The Next should to provide a home and food for your family and to make sure that they get started on the right track. Then think about the next thing in your life like College, just because you have kids doesn't mean that you can't go to college. If you would like to talk to me through email or send me more questions e-mail me at ask_dr_neo@yahoo.com.

well, first of all don't take this the wrong way but get some self control. Then don't drop out of school. That will not help you or your children. Why don't you try going to school on the internet. That way you are able to go to school and take care of your children. Just because you made a few mistakes already doesn't mean you want your children to go through the same. Think about what is best for them.

Try to finish school. High School at least, if you can't do that...GET A GED!! Then instead of four years of college look into a two or three year certificate, i.e. nursing or teaching. This will give you income, and not low-level income. From there, go finish a true degree as soon as you can. It will be hard but it can be done.

**My mom had two kids and now has a Masters Degree. She started as a teacher, then finished a bachelors and masters in Library Science. if she can do it, so can you!**

DONT DROP OUT!!!!! Yes you should go to college, do not make the mistake of giving up on life just because you are young and have 3 kids.

OMG!

Damn girl, oh well, it's not for me to judge anyone, but DAAAAAAAAAMN that's GOT TO BE ROUGH!

Okay, don't panic, heres what I suggest you should do.

Just by your ASKING this question given your situation I would MOST DEFINITELY say that continuing your education is a priority. Nonetheless, you have 3 kids (again I have to say... DAAAAAAAAAMN!) who will and are depending on YOU as their mother.

It doesn't matter what or how the circumstances were that caused them to get here, the FACTS are.. they are here and they are YOUR responsibility (NOT YOUR parents or grandparents or friends or ANYONE else but YOURS and whomever the father is).

You WILL need help and that is a given and because of your age and lack of experience in life I kid you not when I tell you that the decision you make and the path you choose will be one of the toughest and most import decisions of YOUR LIFE.

Your life is by NO MEANS over and you CAN actually have a wonderful and happy future if you act NOW to do the things that will make your future easier to deal with for the sake of you and your children.

YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST CONTINUE WITH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!

You are going to need your education MORE THAN YOU KNOW and your children will depend on you and will thank you for your decision to stick with it later on in their lives.

You will also be able to share with them from FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE why having children at such a young age is not the wise thing to do (I by no means support abortion, all I am saying is that there was precautions that you could have taken) and by your continuing your education you will be setting a SERIOUSLY GREAT EXAMPLE for your children regarding the importance of it.

If you are still in High School then study hard, get the best grades that you can and when you graduate you should SERIOUSLY think about going to a "trade school" where you will learn a trade that there is a hot demand for and pays very well (also be sure that they have a job placement program).

College would be okay, if you definitely KNEW what it was that you wanted to do with your life and if by going there it would help you in that regard. Your situation is MAJORLY DIFFERENT however, you are going to NEED to SERIOUSLY support your kids and as I said, thats NOT your parents responsibility or anyone elses exept the father/s of your child.

If the father/s are of no help you caqn seek legal help, ask your guidance counselor or contact Planned Parenthood or one of those kinds of agencies.

Also, when you make up your mind to stay in school for the right reasons you will NEED to talk this over with YOUR parents (family, friends & loved ones) as you WILL need their support.

NO, the caring and well being of your kids is NOT their responsibility but they can support you and you will find that people are MORE THAN WILLING to help and support someone who is WILLING and SHOWING that they actually want to and are taking the steps to help themselves!

You WILL sacrifice A LOT because of the choices you both made in the past, the present and your future choices as well. There will be MANY parties, clubs, events, dates...etc that you WILL NOT be able to attend and WILL miss out on but you MUST THINK and REMEMBER WHY you are missiing them.. because of choices that YOU MADE and so that you CAN make a BETTER FUTURE for yourself and your children.

Beleive me, in the future (if you take me seriously) when you finish your schooling (High School & Trade School) and are making like $30,000 - $45,000 per year... it would have been well worth it.

Don't forget, that you may be able to start a part time business working from home as well (http://www.dubbsmarketing.com/) which will help with money but do that in connection with your having a JOB until or unless your business starts to pay you well more than your salary from work and allows you more free time to spend raising your kids.

YOU CAN DO IT, YOU ARE A WOMAN, YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOW and I for one HAVE FAITH IN YOU KIDDO!

Hope that helped you and you take it seriously.

Don't throw away the rest of your life! I think that you should go to collage. Collage means everything if you want to get a really great job. If you do go to collage then when your kids grow up, they could look up to you and you could be there inspiration to go to collage if they have 3 kids at your age! So don't give up. I know that you can go to collage! it might be kind of hard but in the end, it will be worth it! I PROMISE!

Try and go back to school to further your education in order to find a good job so it will be easier for you in the future. Try also to get child support from the kids father or get on a welfare programme that may pay for your education and your childcare.
Good luck
