No don't drop out of school finish your education, find out if your school has any special programs for pregnant women. My sons girlfriend was pregnant and finished her school with a program for pregnant girls. and get a part time job and save up until you have your child. It is not going to be easy but you have to think of your child. but you can do it. alot of girls are. I would defently talk to your mom about this, and don't be scared to tell her, because she will find out sooner or later, she might be upset but she will be there for you. good luck.

No, your education level will have an impact on everything you do in the future. Many single mothers stay in school and use the support system that has been put in place by the State. You should do the same thing. I don't think anyone will answer any differently. If you care about the your child's future you will stay in school and strive to become a successful single mother and give your child the very best life possible.
Don't become a statistic sweetie, your life and your childs life will be affected by your decision to drop out of school. Everyone around you expects you and all the other pregnant girls in america to drop out and become nobody's. Don't let that be you. Your family, friends, and even if it is very little the Govt should be there to support you!

If you feel a bit different because of your pregnancy and hence think of dropping out from the school, you may not be considering your future. Completing school would provide you greater security in life. And it needs to be pursued with determination and resolve. Some of your friends would surely support your decision and will even help you out as well. The option to work may have some value if you need money for the tomorrow. If that were so, then you could drop out and start working. However, your plans to complete the school and, if possible, further education should not be abandoned in the process. Even your newborn would be proud to have an educated mother.

no. that may seem like the right thing to do. to be financially stable for your child. but what your child needs is a well educated parent who can get a good paying job. there are services that can help you while your still in skool. dont drop out. its not in the best interest for you or your baby.

If you do drop...get your GED...work hard and go to college. I'm not going to be unrealistic and say go to school no matter what...having a child will be difficult and sometimes people just need a little time away from things to refocus themselves. Just know that it will be harder to go back to school after you quit...and you will never truely understand the benefits of an education until after you have one. All that is important now is that baby you are carrying...make every decision on what would be best for that baby's sake (period)!

NO ! Definitely do not drop out of school. With your spelling and grammar the way it is, how will you possibly be able to teach you child proper English or any education ?!? Being pregnant should make you more determined to do something with your life so that you will not fail in your life and the life of your unborn baby. Its not over unless YOU allow it to be over.
GET your head up and keep it there !!!

No! If you are having a child, he/she is going to need a mother who is completely capable. Without a high school degree, you will make very little money, and be less financially supportive.
Many communities have support systems set up for teenage mothers, at least to offer daycare while they are in school. Go talk to your H.S. counselor.
If you are pregnant, and keeping the baby, your education will be key in supporting and helping your child.

Let's say this...
if you quit it will be a big black mark on you the rest of your life and at some point you will probably go back and get a GED and that will still not be as good a regular H.S. Diploma to most people... I say this... stick it out 1 more year and graduate... it is only 1 more year... You can do it...
Get help... ask for help... just get through it...
