    How do I take care of.
    I'm scared to death. I'm 15 and pregnant. I have no clue how I'm going to raise a kid. I had to get engaged to my boyfriend (which isn't a bad thing) because my parents said it would be for the best. They kicked me out of the hosue and I'm currently living with my fiancé in his apartment. My parents won't return my phone calls or anything and refuse to help with the baby when it come is about 5 months. Please give me any advice you can. It's greatly appriciated.

    Well, I am sorry about your situation. You have put yourself there. As far as your parents, they may come around after the baby is born. You need to give them time. But be prepared to raise this baby alone. If you aren't ready to get married, don't get married. Just because you are pregnant, doesn't mean you have to get married. You can still be together with your BF.

    You follow your heart on that one. Your instincts will kick in. I would advise you and your BF to go and take parenting classes. It will go over some simple things on the care of an infant. What you will need, etc.

    Are you going to try and finish school? There are some schools, depending on the area, that are set up for young mothers. You would take your child to school with you. Like I said, it depends on the area in which you live.

    How old is your boyfriend?

    My boyfrind is turning 18 next month. Were taking parenting classes. I'm going to continue going to school. It will be hard, but I'm going to try and get an education. He's going to college at lockhaven university, and they allow mother and fathers to take the baby to schoo with them, and give them breaks whenever they need to change, feed etc.

    Now, what are you doing for money? How are you going to financially take care of the baby?

    Well my boyfriend is going to college for free because his mom works there, so that will save us money. I'm working anywhere I can. He's working 2 jobs and going to school. His parents are also helping us.

    That is good. You are going to need all the help you can get. Having and raising a child is very expensive. Diapers, formula, clothing - it adds up really fast.
