I'm actually really disturbed by the comments you've had. You say you are in a loving relationship, and you want a family. I can't for the life of me see why anyone would criticise that, so let's assume that's not their problem.
You are apparently a "single mother" even though you have a partner. Fair enough, you're not married, but plenty of my friends have parents who didn't marry until after the kids were born. Bad people? I don't think so.
Finally, there's an assumption that you don't have a job and can't support a child. Nowhere in your post does it say that you can't support a child and that you expect others to pay for it.
Based solely on assumption, you have been called a dog, a scrounger, and black (like that's even an insult).
All I can say is that you should try not to be brought down by people's ignorance and willingness to jump to conclusions. If you can support a child, your partner is happy with it, and you feel you (and your relationship) are ready for this step, then I wish you all the luck in the world and hope that motherhood brings you the kind of joy you imagine it will.
Is it normal to want to have a baby so young?
