Alright, I get it, nobody is perfect, but every day I see the way people act, the way people view things, and the way people live, and it's upsetting! For starters, WHY are all these YOUNG girls having BABIES??!!! I don't understand what makes a girl believe that they can take care of another life, when they don't even have theirs together yet! I mean, lets look at the facts; Most people around my age (18-25), shouldn't be worried about settling down, maybe around 25 they should be, but I think from 18, until then , we should all be in school, and SAVING MONEY so we CAN start a family, with minimal struggling involved. It's sad to see young teen moms single, and alone, because they start to quickly learn, that the people they thought would be there, and help them when they needed it, start to slowly vanish. I see these girls becoming biter, towards people, and how can you allow that to happen when you have kids? Sometimes, I think that girls think that if they keep a baby, that a man will find it in him to want to stay with that girl forever, because she bores his first child. That my friends, is a lie, that will only have bad consequences, and here's why... A man at this age, is not concerned with settling down with one female, at all. They see the world as an endless opportunity to meet, and date women. There are so many girls out there for these guys to meet, why would you think that just because you're "you" that you can change his mind. I'm not saying a man can't fall in love at this age, because it CAN happen, but what I am trying to say is, that to expect a man to stay with you just for a baby, is wrong. You should want him to stay because he loves you, and wants to be apart of YOU. If he's there for any other reason other than YOU, it is not love, and you shouldn't be with someone who doesn't love you!! A man will not fall in love with you, just because you carry, and bore his child.
Think about it ladies !!! Do you want to do this alone? I mean I'm sure you cant even handle taking care of yourself right now, without some assistance, now, do you really think that you can handle taking care of you AND another life? It doesn't make sense to me if you think you can. Child support can help, but it's not enough! You need to have time to go to college at this point in your life, because THAT'S what gives you the ability to make a better life for your kid! Don't you want a child that can grow up, with food, clothes, toys, and proper healthcare? Don't you want to bring your child into a world of love, and happiness, so they learn those values at a young age? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a house, and a career, and possibly a husband before you start a family? I feel like teenagers these days do not think about the children first, they don't think of the longterm effects of having a child. They think, "well I know it is wrong to kill a baby, so I am just going to have it." Those thoughts shouldn't even HAVE to cross your mind, because you should have thought about that before you even got pregnant. You should have been on birth control, or you should have worn a condom, you know what happens when you put a penis in a vagina, whether he cums in you or not, you know what can happen! So it makes sense to get a handle on the situation if you're having sex with someone, before you have to unexpectedly change your whole life around. I understand mistakes CAN happen, but in our generation, it seems like more and more people are making "mistakes" condoms are cheap, and can be obtained for free at a Planned Parenthood location, or any sexual health clinic. Birth control is covered by most health insurances. I'm not sitting here trying to preach don't have sex, what I am trying to say is, protect yourself from having children at a young age. I love children, but they should arrive at a later date in your life.
I just hate to see my generation going to waste. We have so much potential being young, and to put it all on hold, because of an unplanned pregnancy, is just unfair to yourself. We have the tools, and the knowledge to be able to prevent such things, without having to resort to abortion. I understand people are against the death of an unborn fetus, so that is why there are other options to avoid that one. I just feel children who grow up in a household, where money is not scarce, and there are two loving parents to attend to the baby, that a child grow up in an environment that is stress free, and loving. It is easier to take care of a child when you have help, it is almost impossible to do it alone.
Now, please do not think I am trying to say it is not possible to raise a child on your own, without the help of another person, I am just saying for the BABY'S SAKE, it would be more beneficial to have another person there. My main reason for that thinking is, the baby is able to sense when you are stressed, which can make the baby stressed. A growing baby adapts to its' surroundings, so allowing it to grow up, in a angry, sad, lonely, environment, is what the baby CAN turn out like when he/she grows up.
All I am trying to look out for here is the baby's sake, and I think people my age should be doing other things, than being a mom... Look at how old your mom was when she had you, was she a teenager?
