More details to this question:
If I'm 17 and pregnant while on probation, can I drop out of high school so I can get a job to take care of the baby? My high school counselor told me that I can't graduate on time. I would have to take my senior year twice and pay a lot of extra money that needs to go to the baby. What can I do? Am I able to drop out?

Yes you are able to drop out in Michigan; but it would be a bad idea. You will have a much better chance of supporting the baby with a diploma than without one. More employers will hire you.

If high school is a portion of your probation, don't quit school until you get the probation order modified.
