The young boy that helped you produce a baby needs to be the one providing money for you to support yourself and child...not the US government. You've not earned a penny that the government can repay you. If the boy friend won't help you, then your parents should. Isn't it awful that a few minutes of sexual fun has such long reaching consequences?

Hi there, I work for the Department of Human Services in a team answering questions on social media sites like this one. You may be eligible for Youth Allowance as a jobseeker and your phone appointment in April would be to lodge this claim. The rate of payment will depend on your personal circumstances and you can read more about Youth Allowance, including payment rates, here on our website: http://www.humanservices.gov.au/customer...-allowance
Once your phone interview has taken place you’ll claim will be assessed and the staff member who calls you will be able to advise you what you’ll need to provide to Centrelink. Hope this helps.
