[quote=Anonymous]Pp here:

There are also some public schools that have similar educational programs in place where parents attend classes while child care is provided for the baby. A social worker through the family support center should be able to provide guidance on what the options are after this school year. Obviously she can continue with online learning- but then you or someone else has to watch the baby. Getting this setup sooner than later is a good idea to make ure everything is squared away.

Lastly, don't give up on her. I have a cousin who purposely (!!!!) had a baby as a 15/16 year old. She finished high school and went on to marry (not the dad of the first.). She will be turning 21 & has 3 now. I'd never encourage it or suggest it as ideal, but I am really proud of how seriously he takes her role as mom and learns about child care / safety / etc. She's truly doing a great job even though I feel many of her decisions were probably not the best. She plans to take classes at the community college soon to slowly get into the nursing field. Probably start as a CNA. My point here is for many- the reality of a baby can be a very sobering event hat causes these girls to grow up & mature. Family support makes the most difference in outcomes from everything I personally have seen and experienced. She will likely do much better with your support and rules/expectations then she ever would on her own in a group home or just her own place.[/quote]
