should i quit school
My boyfriends mom says I should quit school but I really want to better myself. She keeps telling me to quit and that I am stupid for going. She is even telling my boyfriend to make me quit. I am taking all my classes online next semester so I can take care of my daughter. I am working currently to save for my daughter. Why is it so wrong I want to have a career in order to take care of my daughter. Just because I am 19 and pregnant doesn't mean I have to give up on my dreams to become something. My daughter is my life. Is it wrong I want to be able to provide in the long run?
yes dont quit. i am a young mom im 21 now and have 3 kids, its hard finding a job now in these days because they want ppl with a high school diploma or a GED. keep going to school trust me it will all be worth it at the end! i had no choice to drop out because of my moms health (lots of problems and cancer). if you stay in school it will tech your baby that you could do anything no matter what comes your way and you can be proud for it! i wish i could have stayed in school. there should be a ultrunative school that you could go to and you could bring your child with you. i did and it helped alot but my mom could not do that anymore because of gas. follow your dream! i wish i could do it all over again =). i wont lie, going to school and having a baby is hard but it will all pay off =). this is your future to be successful and you can do it!!!..i believe in you can. you and your boyfriend can show your daughter that if you can she can too. good luck hun.
DON'T QUIT!! No matter what anyone says. She should be proud that you're such a sensible young lady who is determined to give her grandchild a good life. Sounds like she doesn't deserve the respect to let her opinion have any influence on your decisions anyway. Best of luck!
Thanks ladies I talked to my boyfriend and he said he doesn't want me to quit but still I'm having a child and being told I'm in the wrong is not okay. I'm not gonna punish myself for having my baby. I chose to keep her when many would have had an abortion. I was only with the father for two months when I found out. But we figured it out together. I love him and my daughter very much. I just wish people wouldnt sell my short. I graduated in the national honor society. I have goals for myself.
I feel your pain! Im 8weeks prego im 18 yrs old im still in high school and i work. Ive seen girls our age give up just bcause they are pregnant and let the baby daddy take all the work since "its the man's job to bring in the money" i personally think its b***s****. Alot of women are succesfull and have their families. Dont give up people like want you to depend on them so they can always hold it over you. Good luck!!
Im 19 also
I quit school n work and I regret it !!!!!!!!!
It's nothing like having your own mama!!!

Them plp are krazzy!!. Dn't listen to them! Do what U think is best for u and ur bbys future. Im 23 yrs old and im on my 4rd bby. I had my 1st bby girl when I was 17 yrs old. I was living with my husband by then. He supported me to keep in going to school. I graduated when I was 18 and my daughter was 5 months old. I got my High school diploma. I thank my husband alot because he trusted me which thats what maybe ur man dnt has on U. then 3 yrs later I had my 2nd bby and I didn't keep on going to college cuz my family wouldn't back me up on taking care of my lil girl they would always want me to pay them for bbysitting. I didnt had the money cuz only my husband work and he had to pay bills rent etc...... So I just didnt continue school. and I still wanna go be what I wanna be for my kids. but at least I got my HS diploma..
Don't pay attention on what them mother in law or partner says you know you are not doing nothing wrong and they will need to understand you other then that move apart and do what you got to do for you and your baby cause at the long long he will try and stop you @ everything his mommy says good luck .......a woman doesn't need a man to go on in life and be someone ok
Don't Quit! You are a strong women for going to school while pregnant, it maybe hard, but if you can do it financially and emotionally, then go for it. Screw your boyfriends mom. Plus once you have that degree in your hand and your daughter has all the things in the world that you can give her compared to what you would give her if you didn't have a degree and only worked a job paying less. Your mother will look as if she has a sock in her mouth! and fyi if your boyfriend tries to make you, not saying he is.. tell him off!
Dont quit. I am in college and work full time plus am 31 weeks. I thing stopping will be the worst decision because it is so much harder to go back. I have gone to school and always worked since I graduated high school. Im 23 now. I too go to school online and am working towards my bachelors degree, I plan on only taking one class at the time my daughter is born to allow myself to adjust but I will never not enroll until I am finished. You need to make you sure can take care of yourself if it doesn't work out with the father and education is important.
It sounds like she wants you to quit so pull be dependant on them. Do not quit school is very important
If your mom can take care of you and work or cook, you can do school and take care of your daughter, dont quit school, your daughter will thank you later.
Thanks she also thinks her son should get a DNA test so I'm also a ***** to her :/ but college is important to me and I want to get my bachelor's and I'm almost half way there.
DONT QUIT!!!!!!
I quit college way before I got pregnant and I regret it EVERY DAY!
A career is the only logical way to go cause its impossible to get a good job without some sort of degree these days!

for some reason it seems as she doesn't want you to be successful that's wrong I'm 6 weeks and will take online classes for the year and also go to work to save it wont be easy but I know I'm doing it and anyone else can don't ever let anyone change your mind about school we have to be positive influences for our kids and though we having babies that should be a push don't let anyone stop your education you can be a great mother with a great career
No!!! Absolutely not! You can do it. With.my.second child I had a job went to school full time its.VERY POSSIBLE! You never know how things will end up in your relationship/life/etc. And you.want to be prepared with education/experience/etc under your belt to be ready for anything! Don't.let them talk you into quitting please!
