Having a baby at a young age does not ruin someone but it can inspire, a baby can become a muse. Many people say that having a baby at a young age can ruin our lives. I would like to differ, I believe a baby does not ruin our lives. I think that if a teenager has a baby and wants to keep moving forward with life and school we will put our children first, but if a teen has a baby and decides to drop out of school than that is where the parent messes up not the baby. A baby does not choose to be created and be brought into this world, it is us make the decision. When I had my baby I made an oath to never drop out of school even when times got rough. I made an oath to finish high school and go to college so that I could provide a better life for my baby. …show more content…
When I had my baby in December of 2014 I made an oath to never think about dropping out of school no matter how hard times got. I am a single mom, student, and employee and yes it is hard but it is amazing knowing I am able to juggle everything on my own. Yes I do get my mom’s help but she only babysits my daughter while I go to work and school. It has never crossed my mind not even once that my child has ruined my life because she did not chose to come into this world. My entire family was against me having a baby at 16 but I hate abortion and I coul not stand the idea of giving up my baby for adoption. I knew that I could be a mom and still reach my goals I know I can not be
Getting a girl pregnant may not seem to be the end of the world at the time, but when the other
According to the cliché rhyme,“First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage.” What happens, though, if the “baby in the baby carriage” never comes to fruition? Millions of couples struggle with infertility every year. Despite relentless effort and sometimes even therapy, many relationships become strained by the curse of sterility. Both partners in a childless (yet child-wanting) couple feel the tension of the struggle to become parents. One literature-based couple that struggles with infertility is Shakespeare’s Macbeths. Both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth yearn for a child and react to their unsuccessful attempts at becoming parents in psychologically understandable ways.
Nature gives you a baby to have a family and be happy. Not to modify or choose what it gets. “You are playing
Teen pregnancy has a huge impact on students and their education. Life is just so hard for these young teens because they are still trying to figure out their path. These young men and women don’t get to experience the life they are supposed to be living at the age of 16, 17, and 18 because they have a baby to take care of. Most of the time, the baby’s father is going to walk out of the picture and this young girl is on her own with maybe a family to support her, but no money for her and the baby. It’s not fair for the baby to have to grow up that way. Teen pregnancy also takes away from a high school diploma. These young men and women have to drop out of school and put their education on hold because of their pregnancy. Most of the time these teens don’t return to school and graduate along side of their peers. It is just very difficult for a young teen to not only have a child, but to raise a child when they are still one themselves. Because teen pregnancy is so
He begins with a mistake, a horrible mistake, a mistake that he appears to revel in. Killing a young innocent girl with a life left unlived, killing a mother with an unborn child who would have been full of joy and life, a father, daughter, son, even killing a loved one. Walking through the pews of what they believe to be a sacred, safe place, looking at their frightened faces, not knowing that he will soon be the frightened one. An 18 month old baby never to learn how to walk, never to learn how to talk, never to make it to the age of three. A 14- year old girl, daughter of a pastor, will never grow up to be an adult, will never find out who she really is, or where her path in life would have taken her. Innocent children who died in a place
"Pregnancy and motherhood are dramatic events that change lives and have lasting repercussions on the brain, but the repercussions can be good"
When I was 18, I have had many experiences in my life where I was pressured to quit school. From not having the proper learning from educators to having blocking obstacles in the way for me to learn. Especially back in high school, I was always the student to ask questions if I did not understand projects or homework. I would never agree to something I was ordered to do and didnt know enough information to get it completed. As time went on in high school, I eventually gave up. I started to wonder why I was not paying attention to education but to something that had much less value, social life. I begin to realize that all of my friends have dropped out and had begin to live life. Not knowing dropping out of school would have affected me, I
I never contemplated dropping out of school furthermore; I was in honor’s classes. I did voice, that I hated school along with the possibilities I was once in the social work system. One of my electives was a class called Teen Outreach Program (TOP). This CIS funded the class we went on fun field trip volunteered around the city (i.e. homeless shelter’s, food banks, elderly centers and children rehab centers). This class also focused on helping teens to choice a future career. I really enjoyed this class, especially the part where we were teamed up with a mentor. My mentor’s name was Nina Shehann and her husband name was Pat. She would take me to several places, as out to eat, the park, her house, and sometimes we would just ride around and just talk. She did make me feel better and The mentor was basically like a “Big Sister” that allowed some positive influences in ones much-needed life that I have endured and sadly to say others have had worse, while others are currently in devastating
Linda Mangel pointed out that: “Pregnancy is the #1 reason girls drop out of school.” (Mangel, American Civil Liberties Union of Washington, Inc. Seattle Washington US.). Although most people may argue that teen pregnancy can be an issue all over the world, it has been found to be “Approximately 70% of teenage girls who give birth leave school” (Mangel,
“Children learn more from what you are than what you teach,” W.E.B DuBois. If this statement is true, then one could say that becoming pregnant and starting a family later in life would be beneficial to the growth of a child. A woman over 35 would have lived more, had more life experience, and in most cases, be a more mature, stable person. However, society and medical books would say differently. As so many remind those creeping up on thirty who are childless about their “ticking biological clock”, we fight as a society to what is the norm and what is the best for our lives.
I think a teenager should wait until they have a family. It would be much better if you’re ready to have a baby and you have a job, house, car, money because a baby will be a hugged problem and because they are too young to have a baby, they still need to get everything figured out before having one, they should do everything they want before having one, and they should wait until they’re in there 20’s. Teenager might not even know how to take care of a baby but a baby is a big responsibility because they need food, clothes and attention and then of your a single mom u need to work for your baby and need to go to school every day and listen to all the people telling you things
Table 1 shows percent distribution of unwanted births among ever married women whose most recent pregnancy occurred five years preceding the survey or who have been currently pregnant by some selected socio-demographic covariates. The result indicates that unwanted births are about 9.1 times higher among older women aged 25 years and more than their younger counterparts. Unwanted births among women decrease as education increases. Women with no education (28.1 percent) or who had primary education (17.6 percent) are more likely to have had an unwanted pregnancy than women with secondary or higher education (6.6 percent). Unwanted birth is higher among women who are married before age 18 than those who have got marriage at age 18 and above (15.1
If you would have told me three years ago that I would have had a baby at 19 I would have just laughed and said you're wrong. I never in a million years thought I was gonna have a kid so soon or even being able to take care of one. having a baby really change everything about me. the way I think is one thing that I change about myself. changing the way I Think was something I had to do because I used to only think for myself now I have to think about my son needs before mine. For an example I think about my son
Many adults or even friends and family think teen moms are most likely to drop out their high school year or never pursue their careers. I'm a proud teen mother, experiencing this beautiful thing that has happened to me has changed me in a good way. While being a mother, I have accomplished many things that I though I would never even accomplish. Being pregnant while going to school, was not easy at all. I didn't want my teachers nor my friends to know, afraid that they'll look down on me or force me to tell me mother. Starting my Junior year, I was suppose to join so many activities, keeping myself active and occupied in school. Those things unfortunately didn't happen. I had to face the fact that I had bigger responsibilities, I hardly have
Imagine finding out you are pregnant. Imagine that you are in between jobs and worried about paying this months rent. Women should not have to worry about an accidental pregnancy because they lack the funding necessary for birth control. While women still fight to get birth control covered by insurance, men’s Viagra is covered under most health insurance companies since 1998. Opposers of birth control will always be there, but the facts of this matter out weigh any claim they have. Birth control can be used not only to help prevent unexpected pregnancies, treat serious illness, treat acne, reduce the risk of cancer, and also to help women who could be at risk for heart problems or even death if they became pregnant.
