i am 11 weeks pregnant. me and my boyfriend decided to keep it when i was 5 weeks gone. i live in united kingdom and i am 2 months off 18 whereas my boyfriend is 17 in 2months. we have been together just over a year. i havnt told my parents yet because they are very violent (been arrested for assulting me before) and will take their anger out on me. i am already depressed as i no longer see my friends (im classed as boring as i can no longer drink) and i have a lot on my mind.
how hard will it be for me to get on the local council house waiting list? i am currently at college which is quite a long way from where i live i finish in june if i could move out shortly after my birthday what benefits could i claim??
oh before anyone says “typical teenage mother”. i come from a good background and i want to further my education with part time university alongside a fulltime job!

There is help out there. Whether your religious or not there are Christian families who will help you have this child. You may want to start with a Catholic organization or other Christian faiths. They are the ones who are the most generous.
They won’t brainwash you, but they are most likely to be caring and pro-life.
Good Luck.
Unfortunately there are realities you have not mentioned. Caring for a baby is one of the most INTENSE things you will EVER do. School, work plus raising a child is near impossible with two people that have their finances in order, a place to live and a healthy working relationship. I know this is all bad news, but sadly it’s real. Who will care for the child when you are both working and getting an education? Daycares do not take newborns, can you even afford the weeks after birth that it takes to heal as you will not be physically able to work or go to school? Childcare is a big issue alone, how about fatigue? You will be more physically and emotionally exhausted than you ever thought humanly possible while having to care for another human being every moment of the day. Yes, every moment. If your parents are a danger to you they will probably not be a help for you at this time. If you insist on keeping the child you will need a lot of help in your future. Hopefully you have other extended family (or perhaps your boyfriend does) that would be willing to help out. I know this makes me a politically incorrect person, but some of us are against people having children knowing their children will be raised on government assistance. It’s like you are saying it is my responsibility to pay for the rearing of your child simply because I pay taxes and you have the right to be irresponsible. Do yourself and the fetus a favor and have an abortion. Bring a child into this world when you are capable of giving them a decent shot at life.
