Your parents...: ... Care for you, but many times do not know how to handle these situations. Seek help from a trusted adult friend, especially if you feel lost or depressed.

Family Issues: Unfortunately your mother is legally only bound to financially support you, but not your pregnancy. Once you're pregnant, the pregnancy becomes your responsibility. That doesn't mean that she doesn't need to care about you; she should and you should really talk things through with her and get a sense of what your pregnancy values are. In the meantime see a doctor and establish prenatal care.
