Lisa's mother, also a single mom, scolded her for not having used contraception. But Lisa didn't think she would get pregnant without protection just one time. Her mother was angry because there would be another mouth to feed, and told Lisa she could continue to live there as long as she went to school but after that she would have to find a place to live and take care of her own child. As Lisa's pregnancy progressed, she found it difficult to keep up at school. Fortunately, the school has a program for unwed mothers, providing a nursery and parental training.
Guidance counselors work with the girls and make sure they get training so that they can get a job.
They help them find day care for their babies and give them training to manage money. There is also a strong support group of girls that are pregnant or have been pregnant while in school. Without these groups and the friends Lisa has made, she says she doesn't know if she would make it through the pregnancy. They will help you get the information you need concerning the future and your life alone with your baby. I think I'll be OK because of the things I'm learning.
