Consider Bethany Services. It's a non-denominational Christian organization. I don't know if they have a facility near your home, and whether a given, local, facility has to offer. But my understanding is that they offer counseling, to help you think through your options:
--give the baby up for adoption
--keep the baby and pursue the relationship with the father, or
--keep the baby as a single woman
It is a pro-life group, and will not encourage abortion. But they will also off (if my understanding is current) assistance for you to continue school, obtain private and public assistance (WIC, food stamps, maternity clothes, infant furniture, car seats, etc.) and may be able to arrange housing some place (i.e. a temporary foster family for you) if your situation with your own family is untenable.
Remember this is YOUR life and YOUR baby, so you have to make YOUR own decisions. Every option will have its costs and downsides, but YOUR life will go on. As some of the posters have said, above, many teen girls have gone through this before, gotten their lives back on track, and gone on to happy and useful adulthood. Of course, many have have not. It's up to YOU.
God bless you!
