Am 15 years old and am pregnant.. am looking for a job for i can support my kid without the help of the family

You need support so you can finish high school and then get a marketable skill (or post secondary education). There were single mothers in my college clases; it can be done.





There are very few jobs which will pay enough to allow you to support a child either for 15 year olds or for anyone with Grade 9 education. That is the bottom line.





The kid has needs and should have a decent opportunity at life. If you keep him/her, you need an education.

The only advice I can give you is that people are automatically going to look down upon you because of your age, and because you are pregnant during interviews. Find someone who can help you make up a resume if you don't already have one, and try purchasing some interviewing books at a book store, they can really help your chances. Other than that, you newspaper, careerbuilder.com and your local workforce center can help you find a job.
Reply:Sweetheart, you're going to need help. Go to your family and ask for help. The best thing you could do, for both you (child) and your child is to give him/her to a mother and father that can raise him properly in a functional, loving home. Let the thumbs fly, but answer this: Would you want to be raised by a 15-year-old kid who hates her mom and works at McDonalds?
Reply:Wow, good luck hun. The only place I know of is fast food. That won't be enough to do it on your own. Might need your parents help for a while... at 16 a lot of places will hire you. Try a telemarketing place after you turn 16. They usually pay very well and you get to sit your whole shift. Keep your chin up and don't be too proud to ask your family for a little help until you can do it on your own.
Reply:I really admire that you're still having the child - good luck! =] Try working at a call centre (well, I'm from Canada); they tend to pay a bit more than the minimum wage. If not, I suppose jobs like babysitting, waitress/fastfood/restaurants, department stores/grocery stores...they are always hiring, so you're likely to get a job there. Again, if not - try a mall - clothing stores may be hiring now since it's closer to summertime. Good luck!
Reply:Too late to bash on you now, so I won't. No, you can't support your child without family help; you, being a child yourself, can't even support yourself. Wait till your're about 18, apply for all these benefits and then the taxpayer can raise your child. Heck, keep having 'em and you may never have to work or nothing. Good luck.
Reply:good luck sweetie!! why dont you try baby sitting for your neighbors. this will provided money and let you practice on what its going to be like raising your actual child. if your good in school, consider tutoring. idk what the labor laws are like where you live but for PA you need to be 16 to have a "real job"...overall dont get a job that is going to over exert yourself. you are going to need your energy to get through this pregnancy... good luck sweet heart! also if you can try to get a job w/ benifits like medical that will cover you and your soon to be born baby!!
Reply:lol, good luck with that.





u will find a job. u can't even get a job, until u r 16. u would need your parents signature to get working papers. there is alot of restrictions with hiring minors to work for a company.








but i doubt u won't need your family.





i was pregnant at 16, so i know. there are some college educated woman out there who are barely making it.
Reply:Why would you want to do that? Your fam is the most important thing right now! If I were you, I would stay in school and apply for medicaid (insurance) and WIC (food assistance) and keep your lil butt in school. Then only work in the evenings at a restaurant to telemarketing place. Then graduate and go to college! Your family is your family adn should be there iwth you 100% no matter what is happening! Really think about this! They may piss you off and upset you but they are your family!
Reply:You need the support of your family or some adult in this situation. Without a high college degree, much less a h.s. diploma, it is going to be very difficult for you to support yourself and a child. Ask for help from family and friends.
Reply:Most ccompanies aren't going to hire anyone under the age of 16 esspecially not for a full time position.





Why don't you try being a nannny or babysitting? Offer decent rates and good child care. You are going to need your family, sorry to tell you that.
Reply:Try and ice cream place. I got a job at one years ago, when I was 14.


Good for you for taking responsibilty.


Let your family help you out if they are willing, because I'm sure you will need their love and support too.





good luck
Reply:People hardly hire pregnant people, let alone 15 year old pregnant people. While I admire you for wanting to do this on your own, you need help right now. Best of luck to you.
Reply:Because you are so young, you are going to need the support of your family because there are no jobs out there that are going to pay you enough to not need help.
Reply:15 and pregnant looks like your family wont help any way


go on state aid like every dumb kid


go to his folks if you know who the father is


you should have thought of this first
Reply:good luck thats great idea! but make sure you don't turn away all support everyone needs some kind of support network no matter what your situation.
Reply:you wont be able to get a job until your sixteen and you would still need your parents help. also good luck with everything
Reply:good luck i hope you can do it girl. i mean that in the nicest possible way
Reply:no matter how much you work you will still need the support of your family so try not to do to much that your cant handle b/c it can be a hand full
Reply:Mcdonalds will hire 14 and up. Not many other places will. Try there.
Reply:Very responsible of you!!!!!! Try your local newspaper...
