For some teenage mothers an "unplanned pregnancy" is an "unexpected surprise," as "tomato" is to "tamoto;" and can say that she is excited to kick start her new life.
I think that there are some benefits to a teenage girl becoming an unexpected mother such as her becoming more wise;she realizes she cannot lead an immature lifestyle for much longer. Hopefully she will think twice about any other decision that can affect her for a lifetime and be more open to better decisions while in the meanwhile learning to say no with a smile.
For some girls they just cannot say no, for fear of rejection from her "friends" and those who look up to her. Therefore, she acts on every opportunity wheather it could get her in trouble or not. Most of these decision involve, harmful parties, drug experimentation, hanging out with dangerous people etc....She then wonders why she partakes in such acts, or how she even got dragged into the lifestyle in the first place.
For girls such as they these, they cannot quit until they are have hit rock bottom, and realize that if they do not change their ways they will not have a beneficial life for their offspring. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and if an unplanned pregnancy and the well-being of your offspring is what takes for you to get it into gear, you will accelerate in the write direction.

I feel the same way, since I would rather see a child develop into a functioning member of society than be cast into an abyss. Though I respect a woman's right to chose, it's their responsobility to do the right thing for their child.
ReplyDeleteI'm only 19, and already I have several friends that are married and (unplanned) mothers now. I can't imagine having that much responsibility right now. I can't even get my homework in on time. However, when I talk to these guys about it, they're happy. All of them are doing okay, and are enjoying being parents already. They have moved on from the idea of partying all night and have grown up fully in a sense.
ReplyDeleteI have complete faith in them, because I know that once you're a mother, your child always comes first. I believe they will do everything they can to make life work, cause in the end that's all you can do.
i agree with you, but you also have to take into consideration the fact that some teen mothers dont have much of a choice in what happens with their baby, some if they are only like 14, they arent ready for that baby they are still in school and are far too young even to be having sex lead alone a baby. but i do like the point that you make with your blog though, it seems like you have really studied up on the subject.
ReplyDeleteI think that you are right, I have two friends who just kept digging their hole of a life deeper and deeper and then they each got pregnant (not at the same time!) and they both stepped right up!! I do know a few people with children who still party and have put their children in a sad situation so I think it also depends on how strong of a person you are and if you can handle the straight and narrow path even if it's more difficult!
