I don’t understand some young girls today. Don’t get me wrong because I’m still young, but some of them are just…how do I say it plainly…stupid! I know a few different people in my life who currently think they are pregnant or are….and none of them are over the age of 20 years old. What are you all thinking!!??

A child is a lot of responsibility not to mention you need money and a lot of it without having to rely on the government for support. I don’t think they realize the consequences everytime they open their friggin’ legs to random guys or boyfriends. I seriously just want to slap some of them upside the head. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? It’s going to be easy! I can handle a baby and school. I don’t have to work, my man works for me. WHAT!!!!??

First of all, it’s not easy. I don’t speak from experience because I am not a mother, but I worked in daycare centers and sat and spoke with mothers and fathers of children. Half of them were subsidized and I’d have to say 70% of them were on welfare. You want to try juggling a baby and school? It’s not easy at all. Who’s going to watch your child while you are attending school? Or what happens when you have a huge paper due the next day and your child is crying and needing attention? Can you juggle that? Not without help I’m guessing. And you don’t want to work? How on earth do you think you are going to have enough money just to survive the first year with all the diapers, clothing, furniture, etc you need to get? You obviously need money to get any of these things and it isn’t going to happen on one income.

Some of these teenage girls really have to wake up and smell the coffee. Once you bring a baby into this world, you are responsible for it’s wellbeing. No ifs, buts, or ands. Your parents aren’t going to help you forever and half the time, those guys who are still young and fathered the child, usually end up leaving you. Set realistic goals for yourself and build a better future before you decide to have a child. At least then you can be a real role model and can financially and emotionally support it.
