hey man I know how ya feel, a couple years ago I was in the same scenario. all I did was go over to my friends house and we hung out she didn’t go to school either, I however got sat down and talked to by my family and basically I started going again remember dude 2 more years thats it, then your out of HS, I didn’t go to college because I got a job doing what I wanted to right out of HS and have became very good at it.

what I’m saying is go to school graduate things can be rough life may get you down sometimes but you have to keep on moving forward good luck ~ Andrew

We’ll you have alot on your shoulders right now don’t you??

17 is a difficult age. Your are on the fringes of adulthood and yet still a teenager, your gf is pregnant and horror of horrors your car is broken. It would be safe to say that you are depressed as you suggested. Is there anyone you can talk to? Help you sort your problems out. How about your Mum? You need to get some support and advice from somewhere. Most schools have a guidance counsellor. Why not speak to them. Yes it is very important that you continue to go to school. You know you will be sorry later if you don’t. Do something now so that you at least have a chance to catch up and don’t think you will get into big trouble. People, including your folks will appreciate you turning to them for help. It takes a Man to do that and I know you can do it. Face your problems, don’t hide or run away from them. All the best to you!

Uh, I’m telling you first hand that failure to complete High School will set the precedent for the rest of your life….you can’t do jack w/o a diploma. Get back in school and finish it up, 2 stupid years and you never have to go back to that place….

As far as a pregnant g/f, don’t know what to tell you….but abortion is always an option. You’re way too young to have kids already, and having a g/f, and a kid w/o a diploma…you might as well forget about having a future.

Car’s an easy fix….take it to the mechanic.

It may or may not be serious, but it might be a good idea to talk to a counselor anyway, just to make sure. That way if it has the potential to become serious, you can take care of it before it does. Most schools provide counselors for free, or you can get a referral from your doctor. Good luck.

well it sounds to me like you should speak this through with a member of your family or friend or even your teacher and decide weather you want to give it up completely or do both and set a good example to your child to be.
