In response to Re: FINISHING SCHOOL posted by Shayanna:Hi Shayanna,
This is something that you have to decide. At only three months there are alternatives, but that is personal and up to the individual.
I have a lot of information within my articles to help and if you want one on one advice you can find my email at http://www.alwaysthinkingofyou.com in my website.
There is so much you can do, but first you have to figure out what it is you want to do...like keep the baby?
If so, you then would be qualified for a lot of stuff like full financial aid within college, medicaid for you and your baby, food stamps, and so on.
There is always light at the end of the tunnel...please DON'T quite college..you can still go and be a mom

In response to Re: Finishing School posted by leanygo24:Hi,
Truly that would be up to you and your daughter and the father's baby. A lot of teen moms do this because it gives them the advantage to go to college with the help they need. Whether it is right or wrong...at least this young mom will have her education to provide for the baby
I guess if you can, help to babysit if needed, and ask them what they need...that is up to you though, especially when it comes to financial needs.
Good Luck

In response to anyone need a baby sitter posted by mizzmillie16:Hello MizMillie,
I really don't think that it is appropriate and wise to put your phone number on the internet.
The best way to handle finding a babysitting job is to look in your own community and check with friends, parents that you know of, libraries, and other sources that would be safe.
I may have to delete your post for safety

In response to Jakied3031,Your email is such inspiration to me. I am 4 months pregnant and have everyone telling me that what a big mistake I made and just so many negetive things. I mean this wasn't planned but it happen anyway and I'm willing to take responsability for my actions without depending on anyone else. I Know it wont be easy but I will finish school and get my masters, and be the best mother that I can(Sounds to good to be true). I pray that god gives me the strengh to continue on. I am just please to hear something positive from someone that was in somewhat of the same sitiuation. It's funny the people that have the most negative things to say have never been in that situation so really have little knowlege of what it is like.I hope that you continue to be blessed at everything that you do. Your baby is lucky to have a strong mother like you.-- posted by tiffany17

In response to Re: Finishing School posted by leanygo24:hi,
iam 17 and have a one year old. when i was pregnant my husband and i were worried about what last name to give our daughter..... we gave her both last name ... so her last name is
Hernandez Willis spelled just like that.... that way if anything happedned to him and i was still in school i could get help and she would still have his last name........ i think that if your son is really going to stay with the girl then they should talk about maybe giving the baby the last name...... if he doesnt want to stick around then she should give the baby her last name..... feel free to e-mail me any time.

» Teejness - Website?
I'm 17 (as of last July) and my daughter was born last month (November). I'm finishing my grad year and have started preparing to apply for university. Making time to get to classes and study is hectic but I have a lot of support from friends and family. My school has no programs available for young mothers and there really isn't a lot of information available for young mothers wanting to continue their educations. I had to do a lot of research on my own to find out what was available. It would be nice if there was a website available for young mothers around the world to meet and support each other in a chatroom or forum style, rather than message boards and to find information about pregnancy, childbirth etc.-- posted by Teejness

In response to baby # 3 is on the way posted by crystal18:my name is Janice and i'm 17 and i have a 14 month old son named Logan. i'm a junior and high school and i'm doing all that i can to graduate. its alot of work i know, but its worth it! there are other options other than abortion and keeping the baby...adoption. and if you want to keep in touch it can be an open adoption, i think you should do whatever you think is best for the child and for you.
