Help your mother to the best of your abilty, she is going to need it and do so without question.
-
Just be supportive to your mother as usual. It's a shame that you dad could not handle things and left. Hopefully, he will return once your little brother or sister is born. Do you have relatives that can help you out?
-
Be supportive. Look forward to your new sibling. Take good care of yourself as you become an adult and try to make her proud-that would be the best gift. She is an adult, she will find her way. Focus on finding yours and she will be blessed.
-
Be there for your mother. It might be an old worn out phrase but now "You're the man of the house". You will grow both mentally and physically by helping out your mother with your new sibling. I wish I had a brother or sister...

Just help out where you can. This is your Mom after all and she's scared, it doesn't matter how many times she's been through it she needs to know you are there.

You're a head of your family now. It's a hard job, but doable. Hard not only because you will have to provide survival of your dependants, but in the same time you will have to think about your future. Try to find co-op program at some college of your interest. Get a job in the same time. Work with Social Services of your region to get some assistance for a single mom, child benefit if any. Sometimes we have to fix someone else's mistakes - it's OK, you can do it. Remember, that God is on the side of those who believe in themselfes.
-
Not much to do all you have to do is support your mom emotionally and if you have to financially, love and respect her, and love the little one too.
-
Don't be like your father later in life if you have a wife/girlfriend and are having a child. Thats a good start.
-
All you can do is be they're to mentally support your mom and also physically help her out nd cooperate with her and be the best you can be.
