MCalways's advice column

im 16 and had a baby 3 months ago today.my mum and dad are strict catholics and demanded that me and my baby)s father to get married.well me and the babys father split. so my mum and dad were like "i told u so". i left home and moved into a council flat.i have got exams this yaer and im finding it so hard.even tho i have paid childcare thoughtout the day im so tired to do anything.my mum said that i had her and so shes my responsability.im getting desperate now and even thought about adoption.has anyone got any good advica on how to cope. the last thing i want to do is say to my mum that she was right.sorry its long.

First off..im 16, and I have a 4 month old. I KNOW that it is hard. And it was even harder for me, because I was raped..and damn near everyone told me to get an abortion, because it will mess up my future. But I knew that having an abortion would be wrong so I went through with it.

The thing that kept me going is that I knew that by raising the best child ever, I was proving everyone wrong that told me something negative about having my baby. You just have to be strong. Thats really the only thing I can say. I mean, if I can do it, you can to. I'm only in the 11th grade, and I have 2 jobs. plus school work, and all that other sh*t that goes with it. Just tell yourself that you can do it. DONT even think about adoption as an option. Prove your mom wrong. That baby was brought to you for a reason. Thats what I tell myself also. God would never give you responsibility over something HE KNEW would be to much for you. It's just up to you to believe that.

(i know its long--sorry!)
