Have you considered giving your baby up for adoption?   It seems you have no means at all - and your boyfriend also isn't able to help at all.

Monika, are your siblings also minors? Because your mom is breaking the law by neglecting her underage kids and not feeding them! Listen, you need to report this to your school counselor or something because CPS needs to get involved. Your mom needs to get in serious trouble for not feeding her kids! You're all children and you all need to be fed regularly because malnutrition will cause serious health problems for children who don't get proper nutrition while growing. Omg, please tell someone at your school that your stupid mother is starving you guys because you need a responsible adult to intervene and resolve this!

You need to inform your school of what as going on. You should not be left alone to take care of 5 other people. Are they you little sibblings? Praying everything gets better.

I am a teacher, that is why I would recommend you to talk to your counselor about all this, you can get a lot of support from your school administrators and teachers, we dont just teach a subject, we are here to walk you trough life.. :)

Try local churches or food pantries to see if they would be able to help with any food giveaways. I would try to find any type of paperwork that has your social # on it. Even try with your school. Or if you contact the social security office, they can send a replacement card to you. I hope yoir mom sees her wrongs in leaving you & your brother to fend for yourself. She is being selfish & only caring about herself. I know what your going through is rough. Its tough being 16 & then being pregnant & having to take care of your brother too. It must feel like the worls is on your shoulders. You just have to stay positive & let this show you what type of parent to be to your child. I hope everything turns out for the better for you.

She wont give you your social? ? Ask your dr....go to the social security office.....your school probably has it also. Honestly i would get social services involved bc you are taking care of other kids in your house you have no food and your siblings ate hungry. ...its not healthy for mom or baby.

What you can do for the food stamps is go to the doctor they should have your social on file and as long as you have an ID or they know you they might give it to you just tell them you need it for food stamps. I almost had to do that for Medicaid because my social security hard got lost. Or what you can do is go through tax stuff that your mom may have left there and it should have it on there that's how I got mine.

It is not normal for this to happen. Have you thought about the possibility of food stumps? It seems to me like your mom has enough money but thinks making this trip here and that trip there and buying a car is more important than feeding her kids especially if the one is pregnant. Food stamps can help I don't know if you know what they are but if I were you I would definitely look into them. If you go for emergency food stamps you will get them within a week. I'm so sorry you have to go through that. Try food pantries around your area too. I have had to do these things before even though they seem like begging its just asking for help that you need. Talk to somebody at a church or something see if they can help. There's so many things you can do. Don't let that baby or your siblings go without because of her selfishness. Please reach out and ask for help.
