I'm 19 and pregnant, my parents are being supportive, even when the father was trying to make me have an abortion... Just be strong and let anyone who wants to help you. Just don't let them hold it over your head

Youre an adult when you start being responsible and do everything to support yourself. I felt like an adult at 16 because I had a job, and paid for all my own things except i lived with my parents. If you can make responsible decisions and are working toward your future, you are adult. You can get emancipation but then you will need a job and place to live and still go to school and take care of a baby. If you dont have a supportive partner, there is nothing wrong with living with mom and dad and getting a job and finishing school so that you can provide a good future for the baby.

In some states you are considered an adult when you give birth to a baby because that's when you have to start making decisons and caring for another person

I believe you're an adult when you have your own place, your own car, and you or your spouse pays for everything you guys have.  I've been living on my own with my husnand since I was 15, at the time he was my bf but now we're married. I got my GED at 16 and then started college right after:)  So even though technically I wasn't an adult,  I felt like one long before I turned 18:)

I became legally Emancipated when I gave birth to my son at 16. You can always look into it, because Emancipation isn't talked about like it use to be. Good luck Sweetie♥

I got pregnant at 16, I remember the first time I went to the obgyn my mom was going to sign that paper to check me in they told her no don't sign for her, if shes old enough to open her legs and get pregnant (not by choice but I kept my son) then in old enough to sign that paper.
