Then you need to find another. You have the right.

I agree with kissme10der, you need to find another one. I know that you are probably assigned to a certain counselor but if she is failing at her job, that is her problem. Don't let her get you down. She is obviously in the wrong career if she has an attitude like that! I hate to say this, but you are going to face a lot of people that are going to look down on you and treat you unfairly because of your situation. My daughter faced the same problem with a couple of her teachers. I insisted on having her transferred to other classes and it was the best thing I could have done. It's hard enough to be a teen mom, but even harder if you are going to be discriminated against. Anyway, stick up for yourself and be an advocate for yourself. MAKE them help you. That's why they are supposed to be there!

If you don't find any help with one of the guidance counselors, try talking with a trusted teacher. You might look online at your school district's website as well. Our's has a link to the different programs, including the one that helps teen mothers finish school. If you can't find help at those levels, do contact the school district itself.....ask to speak to someone who can help you with alternative education programs. Get a parent to help you as well if need be. The help is out there, sometimes it just takes some extra effort.
