that is no way to raise a child. at all. you need an education, you need a job. you can not go into hiding.

You need to go home. Your parents being angry has nothing on how upset you'll be if you dont finish school. Its going to be hard because you're so young [not that it isnt for everyone] but its going to be 10x harder without an education. Most jobs wont even consider you unless you've graduated high school or have a ged

Quoting shelbylynn [15 WEEKS!]:" I said yes you are still a minor I never said you were still an adult. But yes you can leave home at 16! http://www.jfcy.org/PDFs/Leaving_Home_Sept2010.pdf"

okay, I thought since you said you can do whatever you want at 16, that meant you're an adult.....

Quoting Clarissa Larson:" I know this is going to start a debate and crap, but whats the difference between a 21 year old dating ... [snip!] ... the moral difference? I know many people that are a couple years apart, but i also know many that are older by many years. "

There's a hell of a big difference between a 16 year old and a 21 year old.

Lol technically no. But I left home at 16 and didn't have to listen to my parents. Freedom to do whatever I wanted pretty much.

My mom told me she hasnt told my dad yet because she knows how he'll get so she's giving me a chance to come home. I miss my family but my mom is a really horrible person. she'll keep me on lockdown, i wont be able to see my boyfriend, my best friends or do anything. Im gonna wait a little while before I start looking for work but I will look for work. my boyfriend got his old job back the day we moved so hes making enough to pay bills but we barely have enough left over. I have money in my savings from birthday cards and money my parents gave me through the years and we're gonna use that to buy the baby's stuff. Im probably going to get a job at mcdonalds or some place like that but only after my dad knows Im gone and he's calmed down a bit from it.

your boyfriend could be arrested for harboring a runaway.
And you need a legal guardian to enroll you in school, PLUS your new school will want your old transcripts.

I suppose you can get a job.

Your not going to be able to make it sweetie..go home.

Its 17, I left that age and that was almost 5 years ago.

I've seen it happen. That's a good way for him to lose his job, and his home too if her parents get pissed enough.

Quoting shes.so.vain:" Well, there's a difference in being a minor and the age of consent. I have no idea what it is for texas though. :/"

Age of consent is 17.

Not always to be honest.

your mom is a horrible person for being a mother? i dont think so. you dont sound like you have the slightest clue of reality. If my daughter was 16 and pregnant and ran away, i would be the same wayy! as for the age thing, i dont see why people always bring that up, that is the least of her worries. the deed is done, and 16-21 is not that big of a difference at all. you need to go home though. that is no way to bring up a child.

Don't be stupid ur mom obviously cares and pregnant or not ur still her daughter and she's still gong to love u and help u!!!!!! U need to go back home losing a little freedom isn't that bad! What are u going to do about diapers formula stuff like that. Things baby.goes through on a daily basis.... this is no way to raise a child..... u really need to reconsider going home... and losing the time to see ur friends and boyfriend sweetie in a couple months u wont have time fir anyone other than that baby u need to get a.grip on reality and suck it up and go home!!!!!!
