Teachers and students start judging and not understanding, soo school my school becomes a thing in my past. i cant even explain all the things i have gone through besides the whole family disagreements between me and the father. i trie to keep my teenage life goin but nobody gets it. i cant even hang out with the same ppl. i have to leave the room basically every 5 mins cuz someone lights a ciggerette and it makes me sick. everyone gets on my nurves because im sober and there not so in my eyes there all acting dumb which jut makes me more fepressed that im not havin fun wit them or jut makes me mad that they still all get to have fun and i cant. i have support from lots of ppl but then most of then behind my back i get to hear how much they disagree wit my disission, which i belive is not up to them. I feel like i need someone that knows exactly wat im going through but as of right now i have no1... wad should i do? if u have some help or great advice u can email me at

I strongly recommend looking for a group for pregnant and parenting teens in your area. The one in my area offers both a weekly group as well as a free childbirth education class and doula program. It can be huge to meet others who are going through the same stuff.
During my pregnancy, my family strongly pressured me to relinquish my child at birth when they knew I wanted to parent. After I gave birth, everyone became much more accepting of my decision.
Hope that helps and welcome to Girl-Mom!

When i read the first few sentences of your post i kinda almost got chills because you sound like your feeling like i did when i was 16 and pregnant ...and then turned 17...and then the family wasn't treating me like they should have, then everyone at school, friends...etc...they all play like its so cute (or whatever)that i'm pregnant, but i either felt left in the dirt sometimes because everyone was partying and having their fun....or saying things(anything hurt my feelings at that point..lol) behind your back and they didnt realize what i was goin through nor did they care to try to be FULLY supportive like real friends should be......right? Well everything i just wrote above is what i had to deal with...and trust me...i dealt with it and stuck it out and i have never been so proud of an accomplishment in my life...so hang in there and i dont know how your situation is now, but if you would like any advice or anything to help you through (if you are still having a rough time)let me know because your story sounds so much like mine. and you mentioned you wished someone who has been there could help or whatever....just hang in there and stand tall because it's all worth it
