Pregnant in college?

It is judicious to avoid falling pregnant while in school because it can complicate your life. The reality is that the baby daddy might bolt. Contrary to the popular notion, being a single parent is not easy. You need financial and emotional support. This might sound crude but getting a child at that stage in your life might jeopardize your future. Even marriage in the future can be tricky because society is still prejudiced against single mothers. It is good to know.
