A: In addition it's VERY IMPORTANT that you remain in school, you have a difficult road ahead of you. I know you won't like this answer, but in larger Oklahoma cities there are some very special homes where you can live with other girls like you, and continue your education, and learn how to take care of your baby.

You really should do this as your first choice. You can get help, and find out about them from DHS.
