Teenage girls have so much trouble returning
Back to school because they cannot afford to put their kids in child care as the costs are just to expensive to be able to survive and somehow still afford to put them in care.

There are plenty of schools that young mums can go to where they will find the help and support that they need.

Yes there is still hope, at my tafe there is classes specifically for young mothers so they can continue learning but not have to give their babies to childcare

i was a teenage mother when i had my first and i continued going to school after i had my son.
there are a number of places that have a young parents part at schools with a childcare onsite for those mums who are feeding or do not wish to leave their new babies side.
where i went, most of the work was correspondence but we also had teachers there to help us if we needed it.

of course it is possible for us teenage mums to finish school.. theres a variety of choices.... correspondence,online, or place your child in a daycare that u trust and go back to school all you need is loving supporting family and friends
but i managed all on my own because i wanted a better life for my children

There's so many options for them

I was seventeen when I had my eldest. I had to drop out of school because the school believed that I was a "bad influence" on the other girls.
I had my daughter and then when she started preschool I went back to school and did my H.S.C. via correspondence. I now do my other accreditations via correspondence and intend to do uni the same way.
What we need to do is stop telling teenage mums how badly they have "ruined" their lives and encourage them to finish an education and get into work.
Teenage mums only become "no hopers" when no one holds any hope for them.

I don't see why not, they're are huge opportunites out there for teenage mums to fulfill what they want to to and to complete what they have not finished.

i had my son at 15 and now am 21... i have just finished a tafe course ..
i know its very possible depending on the mum... there are many schools these days which do have a day care at the school and there are many distant education programs.. i never finished year 10 and do regret it alot but i do know a few girls who have finished...
hope that helps
