I'm only in 10th grade. How am I going to finish school with a baby? Is there some kind of free daycare for students with babies? I don't think my mom will watch the baby while I go to school.
I am sure you can find a relative of some kind to watch the baby. I know someone who had a baby her Freshman year, and still graduated her Junior year. It is possible!

There are plenty of daycare programs that will help you to subsidize the expense. High school counselors should also be able to help you there. It'll be rough, but once you get into the habit of scheduling, it gets easier.

Would it be better if I quit school and just went back and got my GED after I turn 18? Can I do that without my parents permission?
School is important. I am sure you can find a way to go to school and still have a baby. You have 9 months to work this all out :).

There are state programs that are available that can help you with this, especially since you will be wanting to finish high school. I have a sister in law that had a baby in 11th grade and then just after she graduated, she had a second child. She finished with a baby so can you, start asking your counselor.
