Sigh - this is mostly a British site - you may strike lucky if someone else from the US is about. There really should be some sort of info on the site.....

Hi Ashley

You'll need to speak with someone in Oklahoma - do you have a teacher you can speak with?

One thing I will caution you about - you're still a minor under US law and may be restricted in your choices because of this. Further, you say you're 16 - did you fall pregnant before your 16th birthday? If so your boyfriend could in theory be charged under Oklahoma law with statutory rape. Usually this happens after a parent complains, so you may want to think about keeping them onside.
You really should try to speak with a counsellor/teacher - I'm not going to put you under pressure but that age gap has put a lot of legal and emotional challenges ahead of you. Regardless of what happens, keep your family - they'll usually be the one constant comfort in your life, and you will need their support.

Good luck...
