I agree with everything Specialmom said.
Online courses are a great way to get your education without leaving your child. Please do check in to them. If you have a social worker they can most likely help you with this.

See, that is one of the concerns for teen moms.  Your life is forever changed in terms of your education, right?  That is very unfortunate.  Hopefully you find a way to further your education.  Online courses at least.  good luck

I think something that so often happens is that when people speak of the reality of the situation, it will be taken as negative or judging because it is easier to do that than to acknowledge some truth in the comments.  No one has the right to judge another person.  We are all imperfect and shouldn't act like we look down on someone for their choices in life.  Instead, we should lift them up by helping them.  I personally think a good way to do that is to be honest with them.  Being a teen mother is hard and sadly, shaves off an important period of growth that kids need to go through.  It thrusts them into the adult world when they are not yet adults.  That's hard.  And it is really hard for teen parents to see that because they are caught up in the moment.  This doesn't mean it won't turn out fine---  it absolutely does much of the time.  But it makes for a very different kind of life for a young woman.  And often there can be great struggle associated with that choice.  And woman to woman, that makes me sad.  

But what a young person who is pregnant needs is supportive comments.  Ideas of how to give her the best chance of being independent down the road and having a life with less struggle.  That's through a good and solid education or job training.  Please stay in school and work on that aspect to your life too.  good luck
