Speech on: Effects of Support for a Teenage Mom

“One of the major concerns of having a child or becoming a parent is to do so when you're old and mature enough to take on the responsibility. One of the problems in today's society is teenage pregnancy. The risk of pregnancy in teenagers is increasing largely. Many teenagers don't know how big of a responsibility it is to raise another human being when they themselves still have a lot of growing to do. Teenagers need to be more educated about themselves and their bodies as well as ways to protect themselves from getting pregnant if they're sexually active. Also, teenagers are more prone to risks during a pregnancy than a twenty or thirty year old woman would be. Becoming a teen parent automatically gives you a big responsibility to deal with. This means that all of your personal priorities are

As teenager, many people say their adolescence is one of the most important phases in anyone’s life. As a teenager, you get to experience many great events like going to high school football games, dating your first boyfriend or girlfriend, getting your driver license, and graduating from high school. As I look back, I believe that getting my first job was the most important event in my adolescence. I was very enthusiastic about getting my first job. I enjoyed that fact that I will be able to earn my own money and not having to ask my mother for any earn. Surprising, there was only one obstacle that was holding me back and that was the fact that I was a

The book provides excellent guidance for those looking to impact the lives of teenagers. In the

This will help you because if you are a first-time parent or just want to be reminded on how to take care of kids this class would help you. In every state yo have to have a license to drive a vehicle, to get married, but anyone can be a parent (Dreyfus).the judge can make one or both parents attend the class, but the class must meet specific requirements (“Parenting Classes”). This would be a good idea to make parents take the classes, because now if you even just slightly hit you kid you are abusing them. So if you were to take the class you would learn the proper parenting skills. Now that you have learned heard why there should be parenting classes you can persuade other people to also think that there should be parenting classes. Now that we have looked at how this is a problem, and I have told you how some people treat kids and how those kids will be when they get older we could put the change into place. The purpose of this speech is to persuade you to think that there should be parenting classes, I have done this by discussing the problem with the parents and how they treat their kids, second, by offering a solution to this problem, and finally, show you how the world would be better with my plan in place. The parent that neglect or abuse their kids, those kids will have kids and the circle has begun its never ending. Now that you have heard why there should be parenting classes you can persuade other people to also think that should parenting classes. Just remember that there are fifty-six kids that are abused and sixty-one percent of kids are forgotten about, and you can be the generation that will help lower the rates

In our culture, girls become women at the average age of 12. The right of passage is bloody underwear and feminine products that never seem to fit right. This means, as children, women are given a heavy responsibility: the ability to create a human life. While straddling childhood and adulthood, we are meant to learn how powerful that responsibility is and how to protect our bodies from experiencing it too early. Yet, in our culture, girls are sent so many different messages on how to accomplish this. The message sent loud and clear today is, “your body does not belong to you.” Through all the blood, tears, and sacrifice . . .my body belongs to my government and will be treated however middle-aged white men see fit.

Leading this group of girls requires me to be a positive influence on their lives; I must conduct myself in the highest manner as to reflect this positive behavior on them. This group has also taught me the importance of community and having a support system. Witnessing the relationships being formed and growing stronger between the girls and myself and the girls amongst themselves has taught me that everyone needs someone to support them. During every person’s life, at one point or another, a tough circumstance has surfaced and when hope seems lost and they are in need of an inspiration to move forward. I stand to be that inspiration and strive to demonstrate to the girls how to be that inspiration for others around them and spread hope and positivity. Having a safe environment to be able to discuss events happening in life and times when we are suffering or need help is a vital aspect of this

Over the years, the role of mother in the life of their children has been crucial and prominent. The child’s first education starts at home with their mother. The mother teaches the child how to walk, how to talk, and how to become a strong man or woman in the society. Some mothers will even stop going to work in order to take care of their kids so that they can be a better person and a good citizen.

Oates, accentuate that communication and dialogue with teens is essential

I am quite fortunate to work at a site that I was able to be part of creating our school’s vision. Lorena Falasco Elementary School’s mission statement is: “In partnership with our community, Lorena Falasco Elementary School is committed to creating a safe and positive environment with high expectations that encourage success and lifelong learning for everyone.” With that in mind, parent education and involvement are crucial for a school to be successful in doing so. At this time I am co-leading a parent education class that is being held at Lorena Falasco Elementary School we have completed seven of the eight workshops. The parenting workshop combines parenting and leadership skills that will empower parents to become vital contributors to their children’s academic success. There are eight workshops that we will present, which will create parent leaders and also provide positive

These skills include: budgets and money, handling emergencies, developing people skills, managing time, and running a household. The Family and Consumer Sciences curriculum teaches all of these life skills plus many more. Because of this, I whole-heartedly feel that FCS classes are some of the most beneficial ones that high school students will take during the course of their educational learning. This LIA project will cover one such topic which every teen needs to learn in order to be a responsible adult - parenting. I will be teaching the parenting unit to my fourth period Life Connections class which consists of students in 10th – 12th grade. The three-day unit will include parental readiness, parenting styles, stages of pregnancy, important parenting issues (such as bonding and the “terrible twos”), parenting skills and coping, and brain development. The unit will include pre and post teaching assessments to gauge students’ learning and understanding of the unit

(Attention Grabber) Blood welled at his lips as he doubled over in pain. Kick after kick to his stomach came as he fell to his knees in agony. Curling in a ball of pain, he took hit after hit as he imagined his rib bones breaking. Blood bloomed through his shirt as he struggled to stop the tears from flowing freely down his face. The bell rang loud and clear and the bullies grabbed their bags and ran out before they could be caught but not before one whispered

Another way I feel I can take this article and relate to it and apply it is as a future parent. I want to learn from this encounter Lahey is having with Marianna’s mom. She is a mom who has the best of intentions, but it does not always come across the most effectively. I hope that when the time comes, I will be able to be a support system for my child, not the source of their struggles. I want to be a self-monitoring parenting and take inventory of my thoughts, words, and actions. Children are so intuitive and they can pick apart what you do and say, so as a parent you have to be very cautious. I aim to be the kind of parent that checks in with my child(ren) and make sure my message and whatnot are coming across in a healthy manner to help them, not hurt them. I want to be the parent that respects my child’s individuality and demeanor. I want to meet them wherever they are, not where I wish they were. I want to have enough confidence in them to let them work out their own struggles and problems without feeling the need to step in. Because that can lead to a toxic cycle. As a parent I want to take this kind of advice. I want to instill a good set of values in my kids and make sure they have a positive and long term concept of what success and achievement looks like. That is how I potentially relate to this article as a future parent.

Have you ever had anything taken from you? Did it really mean anything to you? A teen activist is someone who would fight to get it back. Teen activists are people who speak up for what they believe in, they stand up for what they think is right. What I personally admire so much about them is that their biggest goal, is just to make the world a better place. To become a teen activist, you have to believe in something so strongly, something that you are so passionate about, and you have to bet willing to fight for it. Teen activists always have something they are fighting for. They want to change the world and make it better in some way. Although, they don’t just have a completely perfect life. They may encounter a problem along the way.

My day just started and I’m already beyond stressed; I had to wake up, fix my hair, put on makeup, find my suit, and then bring myself here, ugh. As a high school student, I go through a good bit of stress trying to juggle advanced placement classes, clubs, a social life, a job, and writing this oratory; it seems like I never get a break. According to the American Psychological Association, high school students score a 5.8 on a ten point scale of stress during the school year, whereas adults score a 5.1. To put those scores in context, the APA suggests that the healthy level for a high school student is a score of 3.9. Clearly, teens are inundated with high levels of stress, and to make matters worse, the adults around them often refuse

We would like to start this speech off with a little comparison between what parents think and what we, being the teenagers, think. It is well known that parents and teenagers have not been always been known to agree on everything. Whether it was that haircut you got our that meal they tried to feed you. Sometimes we just don’t agree on everything. For instant, parenting in general, is often described differently depending on who you ask. According to some parents, “parenting is 50% love, 10% lies, 10% yelling and 30% unclogging toilets”. To them, “parenting is basically just listening to yourself talk because nobody else is.”. However, according to some, well most teenagers, “parenting is embarrassing us whenever, wherever 90% of the time”. To us, “parenting is having our own personalized cook, counsellor, chauffeur and bank”. So yeah, there's a little bit of controversy there. But parents, they’re great, I mean, it is an huge understatement to say that you guys are awesome! To
