Well I feel that now as being a mother u have to make it the best of both worlds. Now being a mom u can't do all the things u want as when u weren't pregnant or having a baby. I think u should go to school but be home with baby (: you can always go to the games or parties or events that go on in school you don't have to miss out on anything but dnt forget that you're going to be a mommy now and that's a big role! (: good luck!

It sounds like you're considering adoption or at least informally giving your child to a relative to raise,  at least temporarily?  

i don't think relinquishing your baby makes you a "bad mother" at all.  It's a hard decision to make,  and gives your child a chance at a life with someone who is equipped and ready to parent.
