Some people can handle raising a kid on his or her own, and raise kids with great mental and physical health, self esteem and overall well-being. Some people can't. Some people can raise great kids with a partner. Some can't.

You have to decide if you have the finances, and the ability to care for and provide what a child needs. It's also a good idea to look at your family and friends, because these are people who will be around your child, so you want to make sure they'll also be good role models, or at least respect your rules for your child. If all these things are strong, then you'll probably do fine.

Whatever you decide, I wish you and your child(ren) the best.
