Well I didnt have my kids that young, I was 20 with my first boy and just had my second 6 weeks ago at 23, but I wanted to say you are great for being on the honor roll and let alone in school with a kid and one on the way. Most younger women drop out after having a child while still in school. I hope you continue to do well, NEVER give up your a wonderful person!!!

I would recommend doing ANYTHING YOU CAN to graduate high school! Less than 1/3 of teen mothers graduate.  I actually dropped out of HS before I got prego--- thus leading on the path that caused the prego lol.  But I am determined to graduate college and I have one little one.  Only 5% or less of high school mommies get their bachelor degrees and its a huge goal of mine. 

I have a lot of support from bf so he helps me when it comes to school work.  Also, I do know mothers who were in highschool and their parents were the main reason why they were able to finish.  Some highschools have childcare in school if you have any there- that might help. 

Some highschools also offer night classes.  If you cant find childcare during the day--- and I think that still gets you your diploma.

Good luck girl- and I hope you make it!!!!!! :) Don't ever give up on your dreams! :)

Hi my name amber I'm 18 i just finished school this year my son 7 months old now. I went through half a year of school with him. I was also an honor student this past year. Your lucky though my school district wouldn't let me be in kind of office or anything since i was pregnant. They said I wasn't a good roll model(yea right) . Well if you need any one to talk to I'm here.
