final project

Since having a baby is not easy at all, many teen moms struggle with choosing the options of having an abortion or having an adoption.  If I was a teen mom I would pick neither of these two. I think if you’re responsible enough to have sex then you’re responsible enough to have a baby. Yes having a baby is a very expensive thing to do, but why kill a baby in your body that did nothing to you? You’re the one that created it and I think it should be alive, and not die because of a stupid mistake the parents made.  But to other people they think they should kill their baby, because they are not ready yet or don’t want it to ruin her body. Being pregnant at such a young age you are risking a lot. In other words, either way the mom chooses, is going to be very expensive to her and there’s no other way around it. If a teen mom had the choice between abortion and adoption and excluded keeping the baby they should choose adoption because they are rather saving an innocent life instead of killing it. There are many similarities and differences to adoption and abortion. Some similarities are you can live independently, you will not have to parent prematurely, you can pursue earlier goals, if you’re a teenager you can resume your youthful lifestyle. Even though these are positive things there is still a very large negative feeling behind both of these options. Some differences between abortion and adoption are in adoption your pregnancy ends in giving birth and in abortion your pregnancy ends with death. Also in adoption you will remember giving birth and in abortion you will remember taking a life. Both of these choices are very painful and I think teen moms should really think hard before making any decisions. Some teen moms just jump right into the decision without giving any thought. Being pregnant and going through this process will most likely leave a huge hole in their heart if they choose abortion or adoption. I think teen moms should choose very wisely.

Teen pregnancy can also provide many disadvantages and advantages to the teen mom. Even though having a kid this young is not right it can also provide many advantages to the parents. It will teach them lessons that they have to grow up faster than usual. Most teen parents realize they have to grow up because not only are they having a baby but they have many rules that come along with having a kid. Having a baby might seem fun at first but taking care of it while handling school, making money and providing a good life for the baby will be tough. It will be really tough and sometimes frustrating because you can’t go out with your friends at night because you should be saving money for your child and being there for it as much as possible. Since having a kid when you’re so young and still developing as yourself, your child might come out with problems. This is also difficult for a teen to handle. Some teen parents who just had a kid still go out with their friends a lot when I think they should be home with their babies. If you don’t raise your kid up well, chances is it will turn out like you. Sometimes having a kid puts a toll on your school work. Balancing your school work in between working and being home for your kid has to be very frustrating at times. To me I think I’d have a really difficult time since I think school is very tough as it is. For most teens some can’t even participate in trips with their friends because they have a child. Also, other teen moms can’t afford their child because they aren’t even working. I think to solve this problem teens should be very careful on what happens in their life and make sure their always being aware. Some teens don’t really realize who their impacting while being pregnant. Not only are they adding extra stress to their lives, but also to their families. Most teens are torn between a decision but hopefully end up without regretting their decision.

Final Project

Teen pregnancy has been growing over the past few years when researchers said it was actually declining. It is estimated that there are about one million teen pregnancies in the United States alone. According to research the United States has the highest rates of births and teenage pregnancy in the western industrialized world. Rates are so high up its so crazy. Most teens end up pregnant for having sex at such a young age and then not being careful on top of that. Teen Pregnancy can be very emotionally and physically to the teen. When being pregnant you’re not only caring for yourself but you’re also caring for the baby. Being pregnant not only takes a toll on her, but also on the baby’s father and both of their families. This process also comes along with a lot of stress, crying, disappointment, money problems. Having a baby at such a young age is also very unhealthy to your body. This is very unhealthy because your body is starting to mature but then a baby is growing inside which is trying to form too. Then again, teen pregnancy can mature a person because they have a kid to care for, and even though they made a mistake they are now learning from it. Many teens that get pregnant either get homeschooled or drop out. Some teens even go back to school after a month which is kind of ridiculous. I think if they could have a kid they should spend time at home with it for at least six months and then get back into their routine. When young teen moms have their babies, they don’t get to take part in a lot of activities because there caring for their babies. Therefore Teen pregnancy comes with a lot of cons, even though it has some pros too.  When thinking about Teen pregnancy most people get very angry and hatred to those kids who choose to not be careful and add extra stress to other people lives. Some teens don’t really notice what is going on and how big of a choice it is to raise a kid while they are in high school.

Every Monday i always look forward to doing one thing which is watching the Bachelor. I don’t really know why I love it so much because it kind of is ridiculous but I like watching all the drama that takes place. Yeah that does sound stupid but it’s so amusing to watch. This season of the Bachelor is Brad Womack. Womack did it about three years ago and didn’t pick either of his two final ladies and left them standing heartless, in pain by wasting four of their months. All of America hated him for doing that because these ladies come on the show and are most likely forced to lose their job and some even leave behind there kid. Leaving behind your kid to go find love is kind of overrated and sad. Anyways, the season started off well for Womack with thirty gorgeous ladies to join him on his journey to finding love. Unfortunately later that night Brad Womack had to eliminate some because not all of them will find love with him and same goes his way. A lot of the ladies when stepping out of the limo were very shocked it was Womack and didn’t want to get hurt like he did to the other ladies. Some of them had him promise he won’t hurt them, and to insure he’s changed and is in it for love. That night Brad talked to a bunch of them and new he felt some connections with the ladies. One lady that stood out to Brad was Ashley S. He said she was so beautiful, sweet and such a loving girl he just had to give the rose to her. I can’t wait for march because I cannot wait to see who Womack chooses. This season has just begun and so has the excitement.

The day of the super bowl is pretty laid back just like any other Sunday. Usually everyone gets pumped up to see the two teams fight for the championship. To me this is so cool because both of the teams worked so hard to get there and it definitely pays off in the end to be playing in the world championship. During that Sunday we usually have other family members and some friends come over to watch it or we all go to my uncle’s house in his new built garage and watch it. Whatever we end up doing is always a fun time! Another good thing about the super bowl is making food for everyone and then everyone enjoying snacks while rooting on your favorite team. In between the game on the commercials they always try to make them funny to make people laugh. Some of them are hilarious but others they just are not funny at all. Another thing I love about the super bowl is the half time show. When a certain group of band artists come on stage and get the crowd rockin to their jams and off their feet singing. The super bowl is just a fun sporting event to watch if you love football. Some people who don’t even watch one football game watch the super bowl because they like to watch it. That person was my mom one year. She never watched a bills game or went to one and watched the whole super bowl game and said it was pretty intense/amusing. The super bowl this year is being held at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Texas.  Tickets to this game must be overly expensive but in the end it’s the best game of the year! It’s going to be pretty intense and I can’t wait to watch it either!

Social networking most definitely has impacted my life and I’m pretty sure many others too. Every day I usually go on Facebook. I don’t really know why it’s just interesting to see what people do and it’s also funny looking at people.  Facebook also keeps you connected with the world because most people constantly tell everything there doing every single second of the day. Yes that does get very annoying and I had to delete some people who constantly do that. Some people go on Facebook like it’s their job and it’s kind of crazy how everyone relies on their internet to get in their social life. I remember it all started with MySpace. The first time I got a Facebook I was with Amanda and Jillian and they were like oh my gosh you have to get a MySpace. So, later that night they decided to make me one, so I was officially in the MySpace world. My parents were not very happy with it because they don’t think I should be on the internet like that and yet being so young. To tell you the truth I was always on MySpace for some reason. I think I thought it was so cool at the time and all my friends had one so I had to have one too. Then after the big MySpace deal along came Facebook. Facebook was so confusing at first; I remember the first time I got one I was so lost. Then after getting help from friends and learning things on my own I got the hang of it. It really is stupid but kind of fun at the same time. It’s an easier way to connect with your friends by i.ming instead of texting long paragraphs. Overall, Facebook is already a big part of most young teenager’s lives and it’s only going to grow bigger and bigger.

Greta

A few days ago my family and I had to put down our dog Greta. Greta was our only dog and we had her for about fourteen or fifth teen years. She was probably one of the best dogs out there even if she used to run away from us when she was a young puppy. I practically grew up with Greta because when we got her from the dog place I was about two, my sister was about four and my brother was five.  We all loved her very much even though when she hit her old ages she got very deaf and blind. Sometimes Greta didn’t even want to go outside to go to the bathroom because she must have forgot where she was at the time. When Greta was a little dog we would let her run outside but until we found out she doesn’t come back when she would run loose she was always tied up or on a leash. In order to get Greta back on her leash we would have to chase her with the four wheeler so then she would run in the house because she was terrified. It sounds bad but that was the only way she would come back to us. Don’t get me wrong she was also very sweet even though she wanted to run away all the time. Greta loved my grandparents. For some reason every time they would come over she would know who they were and get so excited!! Since my grandparents found out they were her favorite my grandma would bring over treats for her. I remember back in the day I would teach Greta to sit down and lay down and if she did it I would give her a treat. If I could I wish I could bring her back and make my dad happy again.
