HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!
It's 6:02 in the morning and I can't seem to fall asleep. Yesterday I successfully ran my errands. I got my poem notarized and mailed it off to the NAACP ACTSO Competition and I even inquired about a job. Unfortunately, I had no success in the latter. :-(
On my way home I stopped by a friend's house. She's about to turn 16 and is expecting a baby in May. Although I'm happy for her, I'm kinda scared for her; and so is she. She is going to do natural child birth (YIKES!!!!) and she's also going to be responsible for someone other than herself. That’s a scary reality. Thank God the baby father didn't up and leave so at least she's not doing it all by herself.. at least for now. Now don't get me wrong, I hope they stay together. But essentially if he wanted to leave, he could! And she, inevitably, would be stuck with the baby all by herself with the help of her family, hopefully. Some may argue that stating the possibility of a guy leaving is inviting him to do so, but honestly, if a guy wants to leave, you can’t force him to stay. Hence why there are so many single mothers out there today.
It's situations like this that makes me wonder how God works. There are so many people having sex that are not getting pregnant or worse, getting STD's. Like, what makes one person more blessed or lucky than another person? A child can be a blessing in more ways than one but an STD...(Tsk) Not so sure. But then again, it's all how you look at it. A baby or an STD can make you grow up or mature faster. You’re being force to take care of yourself better than you normally would and you now have to think about others before you choose to do something. But like I said before, that's just one way of looking at it.
Of course I am not an expert in matters such as these. I'm just a girl, well, a young woman, giving my own personal thoughts and opinions about the issue at hand. So, how do you feel about it bloggers? Feel free to leave your comments and thoughts about anything I’ve said or about teen pregnancy.
Well, I'm going to try to fall back asleep until it’s time for me to go shopping with my mom. Until the next post, be blessed and make sure your legacy is like no other…
