The first thing u should do ( if haven't already ) is tell all parties involved like the father, parents ect.. Having a good support system is crucial dependency, making the situation a little lighter. Second would be to talk to your doctor and find some local resources for help and advice. Third finish school while you can. You will defiantly need an education in order to get a good job, so that u can provide for yor child. Having a baby at 17 is not easy, but making it work is possible.

look into school, government and other help options. I know you probably don't want a hand out but these programs are in place for cases just like yours. I'm glad you are asking for help here but be sure to ask those that can actually help you too: family, friends, local charities and others. It's not an ideal situation you are in but it is not the end of the world either. I'm sorry you and your girl have to grow up so fast but I wish you the best of luck and a very bright future.

Get an abortion, don't wreck you life at 17 just to be stuck with a kid you probably didn't want in the first place ! Then get some contraceptive advice !!!

There is no book how to guide you to be a perfect father... The instincts will come natural... If you're too much of a grown up to have sex... You gotta be twice of a grown up to become responsible for your baby.....

And get a qualified counselor as soon as possible.
