I'm 16 and I have a baby I need advice

I had my baby girl on 1-3-13 and next week I have to go back to school Idk how I can leave her for 8 hours for 5 days I canteven be away from her for 10 mins with out texting to see ifshes ok so how can I leave her with out going crazy at school plz give me same advice!!

Could you do charter school online?

I didn't leave DD at all till she was 4.5 months and that was only because I HAD to go back to work at that point. I cried like a little bitch.

See if your school offers home schooling. Cuz I understand the not wanting to leave, it's so early still. If they don't maybe you could pay for a home teacher.

You are just going to have to suck it up and do it. Plenty of moms have to go back to work or school. It sucks ass but it will get easier.

My baby was born the same day  

It's rough but you'll have to do it. Focus on school and remind yourself that you're doing it for her too.

I have to go back to work at the end of the month too  

Call or text on every break you have to check on her. If you live close enough to the school, go home on your lunch. It'll be tough but you're doing the right thing!!

Just think of it this way you are bettering yourself so you have to do what you have to do.

You gotta do it to make your life best for her and you. Women who work do it all the time. I know it sounds mean but you're a mom now you need to do what other moms do. Age is no longer a factor, just do what you have to.

Do what's best for her future.

Yes she wants to be with you right now. But you getting your diploma will do her a lot more good in the long run, than you dropping out to stay home with her.

I'm not going to lie, it will be rough. You will probably cry. A lot. It's really hard at first, but it does get a little bit easier as time goes by. I went back to work when my DD was 7 weeks old. It was rough, but we got through it. You just have to remember that going to be away from your daughter so you can get an education and better both of your lives in the future. Best of luck!

Seek counseling... and more so, realize (hard to do at such a young age) You HAVE to.. FOR your daughter. YOU HAVE TO continue to move forward in your life. Don't feel guilty, and don't take a second hand school as a solution. Your accomplishments are hers too. Tu tiempo es mi accomplishment...

Are there any mom schools in your area? The ones that have the daycare attached to the building? They usually have you do the feedings and changings as well as do basic parenting classes

My sister had her son when she was 16. What she did (this isn't right for everyone obviously) is drop out of school, get her GED and enroll in the local community college to start taking college classes. 4 years later, she was a nurse.

This!


I went back to work full time when my son was 7 weeks. Sure, it was hard at first. But we all survived and are happy. And most importantly, it was what was best for us. Do the right thing, not the feel good thing. It's not easy, but most good, mature things aren't.

Hang in there, it will all be ok!

  yup. Just have to suck it up and do it. It is the best thing for you and baby to finish your education. If you don't, life will always be a constant struggle. It will get better as the time goes on.
