after catching up on my daily celebrity gossip [thnx E!] and watching daddy's girls for the 73564th time; i hopped from my bed to the computer to catch up on my e-mails, blah blah blah.
i ran across this article posted by yahoo discussing the new state with the highest teen birth rate.
Mississippi has the highest teen birth rate with 68.4 while New Mexico has 64 and Texas has 63.
Being from Texas these statistics doesn't really come as a shock to me. These days having a baby is like getting a new handbag. Its nothing new; its normal. Its accepted by our society. Its hard enough being a mother, but being a mother in your teens or other twenties? smh times 1000.
I feel like when you have a baby; you have to put your dreams on hold; your time tht you have set for yourself is put on pause.
Children are a wonderful gift to the world but i only feel that they should brought into the world if they are going to be appreciated and not be used for food stamps and wic every month.
but this is jst my opinion.
think before you act on anything because what do you do will last you a lifetime.
I know 11 pregnant teens total at this moment in Indiana/Chicagoland Area. SMH. In a few years im sure teen pregnancy will probally be a normality. It's really getting that bad. =/
ReplyDeleteI know! Its a shame that for some girls to feel loved they need a baby. Whatever happened to family and friends?
