People spend an awful lot of time
assigning meaning,
and blame
to things they don't understand.
Don't mean nuthin.
Unfortunately sometimes that kind of
judgement
hits nerves and fears and things we've had to wrestle
with ourselves... so it can feel very powerful.
Just love yourself.
Love them and forgive them in your heart and mind.
And be at peace.
To carry their words only causes you pain.

The Alternative School here has a better graduation percentage than the High School so definitely, what @lolitaskid said. And the ones who hate you for giving up your child really hate themselves because they would not have taken the child. Ignore them; they are not worth your interest.

i know you're young so you might not see it until you're older:
but the thoughtless words and actions of your peers means
absolutely nothing in the bigger scheme of things, especially
in your life.
you have made the difficult decision to place your child with an adoptive family.
a decision you felt was right and would benefit both of you. be proud of yourself
for showing clarity in action and strength in compassion.
these other kids have no knowledge of what pains a birthmother feels.
keep your head up and be strong. i send you my love and support

What you did was one of the most LOVING things and unselfish thing anyone can do . You gave a family something they could'nt achieve by themselves. I worked in medicine for several years and I cannot begin to tell you of the anguish that ppl have when they lose a child or cannot have a child, YOU gave a precious gift of so many possibilities for your child and the HAPPINESS of so many others. NEVER Doubt what you did and to hell with ppl that condemn you, hang in there and stay on track.

if this is the way it is....then let me say quite bluntly f*ck all those people who may diss you for giving up a baby for adoption. they are immature social morons! if you are only of high school age, I am so proud of you for giving a child away for an opportunity for that child to have a stable life. being a young mom does not mean you could not be a loving mom...it is just so much harder in this society to be a teen mom.

I'll bet the only people hating are people who don't know you. Don't worry about them. You've probably got your own problems, and to concern yourself with people just blindly hating on others is usually just a waste of time. Remember that, because I'm the biggest jerk you've ever meet, and you've never even met me.

I'm really sorry you had to go through the experience of giving up your child. It sounds like it was the right choice for you and, most likely, for your child, but that doesn't make it easy. I'm not sure what Alternative ed is, but the fact that you're sticking with getting an education is the main thing.

People only hate out of fear and insecurity, so bear them no mind. Good luck.

Everyone thinks they know what's best for everyone else and can't keep their noses out of other people's business. I'm sure you had your reasons. Maybe there is some legitimate criticism in there, maybe not, maybe it is all hate. One thing I tend to find is true is that the thing that bothers us most in other people is usually something we don't like about ourselves. Perhaps those that give you grief wished they had your determination to better their own situations? I'm sure giving up your child was not a decision you made lightly. I think it would takes a lot of guts to follow through on it once you had decided it was the right thing to do. IMO

The realization that makes you can give your child a better life only by giving the child up is right up there with pulling the plug. It's probably the most disturbing thing that can happen, losing a child. The death of a child is horrible and constantly heart-wrenching, don't get me wrong; giving a child up adds the nagging thought that maybe you could have done something to get him back. My heart goes out to you. Believe me.

I think you've probably been through enough to put you in A school. Did they offer any counseling or did they just put you on the short bus? "Real High School"? Did you see Grease?
