I am 16 years old and I live in Raleigh, North Carolina. I will be 17 in 5 months. I have recently found out I am pregnant. My mother is trying to force me to get an abortion but that isn't what me or my boyfriend wants. My father has accepted the fact that I am having a baby. He even said I could come to live with him and so did my boyfriends parents. But my mom isn't going for that. She tells me how if I leave her I'll end up in the ghetto by myself broke and I can't come ask her for anything . My mother verbally abuses me. I am currently looking for employment. In order to keep my child alive I would need to be emancipated. Is there a chance I could be?
