Preggo ..and Im not talkin about Spaghetti Sauce :0

Tis the Season of the BABY BOOMERS..PT 2!
Is it just me, or is having a baby at a young age the "thing" to do? We could go on for days about this subject but imma be careful wat I say because I know this is a very sensitive subject to many. Yes.I understand accidents happen, Yes. I understand that if you're not protecting yourself, pregnancy can be a result. Yes. I understand that your bf/ lover is going off to war and the benefits would help. The list could go on, but honestly whats the deal? Is the media sending out the wrong message? Juno, Knocked Up, The Secret Life of the AMERICAN Teenager, and one of MTV's newest series 16 and Pregnant, etc. all are examples of how the media protrays being young and pregnant. But are they helping young viewers, or are they apart of the problem?? For example when I first saw the previews of the MTV show 16 and pregnant I really didn't understand the purpose of the show, and was a bit disturbed by it. " I'm an honor student, I'm on the varsity volleyball team, I also have a part time job at a nearby Dairy Queen, with my busy schedule I barley have time to sleep. BUT all thats about to change...BECAUSE..(waaiiit for it...)..IM PREGNANT!" (just an example) as if being pregnant is something to brag about.

It appeared to me as though this show in a since was more so praising these young, high school, soon to be mothers than really showing the truth. But I soon changed my impression as I became a viewer. It showed the Good, the little bit bad, and some ugly about pregnancy in general, and being 16 and pregnant. I understood that this show was a way of showing another persons perspective on this touchy subject so that maybe someone in that same lifestyle would decide to do something different than have a child at a young age. This show can act as a double edge sword it can be either; a lesson to learn, or a "monkey see, monkey do"..hopefully it will be another lesson learned for many! To all my ladies; please protect yourself, take care of yourself, don't be selfish and bring a child into this world for all the wrong reasons, and understand that having a child is a LIFETIME decision (nothing temporary). And for all the fellas, when you find out that the child is yours; just remember all those times you was eggin her to give you some, the time when you didn't protect yourself, know that it takes TWO to mingle, and take care of your responsibilities for the childs sake. ..Amen..
P.S...(In this RECESSION, it's hard to take care of a child alone).
