Becoming a young parent might mean a lot to think about when life is already pretty complicated! Here's some help.
Becoming a parent is a big decision and will bring lots of changes to your life. One of the biggest things is working out where you are going to live and how you are going to support yourself and your child.
While there are some advantages to being a young mum or dad, there are disadvantages too - such as possible interruption to your education and having big responsibilities when your friends are gaining more freedom.
You might also meet with prejudice from other people because you are a young parent; but it is important to remember that having a child does not mean you do not have options, and there is a lot of support and help for young parents and their families.
You can talk to your GP about getting help, or you can call a charity that specialises in reproductive health. If you are under 25 you can talk to one of the counsellors at Brook.
You could also call Sexual Health Direct at fpa or the National Childbirth Trust.
