You are gonna get nasty stares and whisper and some are gonna be hard to ignore but I agree withe PP about joining a parenting class to help and we are at girl mom are always here with answers for you to your question so dont be shy sweetie login to post comments
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 login to post comments

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!
