Hello, I’m 17 years old and a senior in high school. I’m also 1 – 2 months pregnant.

The tests were negative, but I know the signs and symptoms. I told my boyfriend, the father of the child, and a couple of days later, he dumped me. He told my friend it was because he didn’t want a baby. Now I am on my own to raise it. I’m scared to death. I don’t know if I’ll be a good mother or even if I’ll be able to raise it right. I have thought about adoption, but I don’t know yet. I want to keep my baby, but how will I be able to raise it? I start college in August. I wonder if this means I will have to put my plans on hold. I also have decided that I don’t want the father to have any part in my child’s life. He still has a lot of growing up to do. The father is only 15 years old. So I have no clue what I’m in for.

I’m looking for any help or advice.
