How Do You Survive School Being Pregnant?
• Always tell a doctor or trustworthy adult (such as a parent or guardian) about your news. • Rumors… Yes, unfortunately school rumors will start but anyone who continues them is obviously not mature enough to knock it off. • Don’t panic! If possible, stay at school – your education is important. Just because you are going to be a teenage mum doesn’t mean your life is over. If you don’t think you can continue your education at your current school look into other options like home schooling, distance education, or special schools for pregnant teenagers. • Don’t be Angry! Talk about how you are feeling and don’t shout people out they are there to help and support you. • Learn. It was a mistake but you should have learned from it by now. • Get in Touch. Make sure the father of your baby is there to support you and help you get through this tough, tough time. • Be Prepared. A parent or your health insurance may help you with feeding and providing clothing for your child. • Keep it safe.
