  1. I'd explain the problem to the teacher and ask her if you could have a little snack in there class and use the bathroom when necessary I'm sure they'll understand. And you'll have to try really hard to get enough sleep so have someone help you with your homework, once u have the baby things will get harder so don't use any of your sick days until after you've had the baby. best of luck :) hope everything works out


  2. I think you should be on independent study until you have the baby. Then you wont be embarrased when you have to pee or eat a lot. But once you have the baby you should go back to school.

  3. gee hun thats rough, im sorry its so messed up at the moment, well i dont really know what to say but, school while pregnant will be hard, obviously, but its up to you if you think you can handle it go for it honey....finshing school is good...i dont know where your from but in new zealand you , if u dont have highschool, have to wait ill ur twenty till you go to uni, but then with a baby ..hun its complecated. just look at right now....can you handle school? if so go for it...

  4. take food to school and tell your teachers to shut the h**l up...you have to eat....and if you gotta go they should understand...

  5. you have to explain to your family you cant keep on taking care of the house.

    say you will do it when its your turn, make a schedule you might have to do a couple things around the house when you have time because you are focusing on school and having a healthy baby.

    i hope everything works out for you

  6. You can take a leave from school for medical reasons.  It's called home-bound. If you are a senior, you're probably going to need your assignments sent home so you can keep up. If that doesn't work, homebound students are sometimes offered a free tutor. In addition, I know it would suck but you could go to summer school to get your diploma.

  7. it is your life not there tell then that your are going and nothing they say is going to make you stop

  8. sounds like u rlly need to seriously talk to ur dad or sister. try having everyone pull most of their own wieght....

    good luck!

  9. Well I can pray for you and let God give you the strength you need to help you pass this.

    With God all things are possible.

  10. go 2 school if its 2 hard 4 peopel 2 be around u always  have a friend by ur side and wear less noticale clothes

    but plez dont drop out i heard it could be the worst mistake of a person's life

    or try homeschool

    find any possiable way 2 go to school its really important 4 life

  11. Hi, I know how your feeling exactly chick.

    I was 17 having my first and 19 on my second, dropped out of school at 14 and went to college, studied hairdressing, beauty and nvq's in computers, had to stop due to being pregnant coz I couldn't stand up for that long, haven't been back since.

    I lived in a flat on £42 a week and had to pay bills etc out of that, hardest times of my life.

    Don't drop out of school persevere with it, not going back was the worst mistake of my life and now my kids suffer from it because I am in a dead end job.

    Hope you make the right decision xx

  12. Talk to your teachers only go to the classes that you absolutely have to until you have the baby. do all the home work and take the tests, study at home. When you have the baby what are you going to do it can't go to school with you i don't think you'll finish school on time any ways, take the year easy have your baby and just get held back. its not that big of a deal i've been held back twice and skipped a grade once, it doesn't change any thing. good luck

  13. Talk to a school counselor. I have a friend who was pregnant at 17 and she ended up going to a school just for young mothers and graduating in the top of her class. A counselor would know if there is a school like that in your area.

  14. Don't drop out!  Go to school I am sure that the teachers will have some consideration.  Your family needs to help you out more.

  15. You'll be having the baby soon, so your doctor might not want you in school for that much longer anyway. I'd recommend that you study at home for the first semester. Go on an online program.

    You'll need to talk to your school administrators about this. My school let one of my friends do online school for a semester when she found out she had a learning disability, and they accepted her credits when she came back. Make sure that your school will accept your credits when you return, or else it would all be worthless.

  16. Be home schooled for this year.

    I wish you luck with you and your baby.

    I will pray for you.

  17. This seems more emotional that physical . I can honestly say is to not hope that life will be easier, instead become stronger. Maybe this pregnancy will teach you life's ways. You will get through this just stick to the right path...and deal with having to be get through school...even if that means following the rules! Finish school and you will make both you and your mother happy! Plus a diploma is really helpful and beneficial since you are having a baby !

  18. well if you situation is that critical you should have prevented from being prego in the first place

  19. wow you have wayyyyyyy to much responsibility on your hands.

    but what i would do is go visit the school nurse and the consoler i\with your parents and be sure you let the nurse know about the whole restroom issue and  see if she can pull some strings with your teachers so they let you use the restroom when you need too (also i doubt the teacher is going to say no you cant go since you are pregnant and you gotta go when you gotta go) and then also bring a snack in your pencil pouch or purse for when you have to eat (also see if the nurse or consoulur will pull more strings with your teachers so you can eat when you are hungry.) and you need to be sure to eat a big lunch, breakfast, and dinner so that will also  help the eating thingy.anyways good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i hope i helped

  20. have your sister help you clean the house. shes been pregnant before--she'll understand. i dont know why you cant focus on your family this year and earn your GED next year, but whatever. since youre about to have your baby, youd be far behind by the time you come back to school. im sure your mother would understand, she wouldnt want to put alot of stress on you.

  21. get it over with. because in the end it WILL be worth it ; ). don't you want  your baby to look up to you and be inspired. Think of it as a couple of more years till your free, then you can pee anywhere you want to lol. The best thing you can do for yourself is work hard at school and get a good education so you can properly raise your baby in a safe, happy , healthy and nurturing environment. Good luck!!

    If you wouldn't mind could you go vote for my dog! thanks!!
