should i stay in school or not?

[flower216]

This has been in my head for a while if i should remain in school or drop out? The reason is if i do i wont get help from social security from my dads death and its always been a goal to finish high school. Since no one in my family has gotten their high school diploma and i wanted to be the first. But school is becoming a huge drag and ive been on bedrest alot lately. I dont know what to do i want to have something nice to show my baby girl the day of tomorrw but at the same time im not sure if im even going to be able graduate at the begining of june.
What do you ladies think?

Stay in school! You can graduate!  My whole senior year I was pregnant with my daughter & guess what I had her on my graduation day! I didn't get to walk across the stage but I still got my diploma!  Don't give up! I could've said forget school as soon as I found out I was pregnant but I didn't

I was in 11th grade start of the year and dropped out took my test for my diploma a week after. and was able to walk with the graduating class.
But being so close like you i wouldn't even consider it. Its hard but you can do it!
You need a diploma to continue your education in the future. Its so worth it in the end!

Hey I was in your same position. and I quit school. I'm 27 years old now. and I wish I could go back and change that. my advice to you is much is school ******* ***** it's worth it to have that diploma.. Plus now a days you can't even get a job without going to college. so if I was in your shoes I wish I could go back there I would stay in school definitely. and if you have a baby that setting a good example that's telling her or him that my mom did have me young but she finished high school... I didn't and I don't know what I'm going to tell my kids... I hope this helps you

Set your goals higher and you cannot do that if you drop out. You need to set a good example for your child so that she has higher aspirations when she grows up.  And you will hopefully go vocation training or something. As women we know what we are talking about. Just soldier on it will work out well in the end.

I was 17 when I had my son. Here in Cali we have what called a pregnant minor school and trust me... it made it sooooo much easier! You're so close to graduation it isn't funny. You can do it. Less than 100 days! Be there first to graduate in your family ( I was) .
I wasn't able to walk with my class but I was there and had it handed to me. And partied with my friends and a 2 week old baby. Best month of my life girl.

I had my first child in high school. I made one of the biggest mistakes in dropping out. I was almost finished. But I felt that it was best at the time. So I think you should finish. It's going to be hard but it's important. For you and your baby's future.

Please stay in school! I know it is hard. My cousin quit school and I stayed. There will be the best chances for you and your daughter if you stay. You are young and strong. There aren't always 2 nd chances if you drop out.

You should stay in school i got pregnant in high school also and i dropped out it was really stupid of me i did go back and finish it took me a year longer but i did it! I am now almost done with nursing school and pregnant again and nothing will make me stop this will be my 3rd baby i know i have to do this for myself and my family! Stay strong you can do it!

Don't give up on school. Do something for both you and your baby girl. I was in high school when I got pregnant with 2 of my kids and I went to graduate, because I saw what it did to my mom who didn't get to graduate front high school since she was pregnant. Try your hardest to finish strong. I know it can be tough but this gives you something for your future and your baby girls future.

maybe do it next year...anyway, that was my opinion...
the decision its up to you!! good luck!!  

[Katerina_Gr]

hi!! in my opinion you should not drop out school...you should try not only for you but also for your daughter..if you do that,you will definitely have more opportunities for better jobs and a better future for you and your girl.. maybe i'm wrong because i dont know whats going on to your country..maybe its more easy to find a job there.. here unfortunatelly its very difficult if you havent finish high school and havent at least an English diploma.. also you spent so many years in school and i think its not worth quitting now to the end..try and if you dont succeed in june, maybe
