Seriously...STOP HAVING BABIES! Don't get me wrong. I love babies. I want to be a freaking midwife for goodness sake...but when you get pregnant and you are emotionally or financially unstable, you should NOT BE HAVING CHILDREN! You should not expect that state or your parents to pay for the mistake you made by not using birth control or having protection. You are responsible for bringing another human being into this life and that is YOUR responsibility. YOU made the decisions to lead you down this road.
For instance: a girl had already had 2 abortions. She gets pregnant AGAIN. But she has no idea if it belongs to this guy or that guy. Now she wants to keep it because she's already had two abortions. Do YOU think this woman should be a mother? If she can't keep track the father, nevermind the birth control, do you think she should be responsible for another human life? Let me tell you, if you are pro-life and don't believe in abortion...you must understand that some women are going to screw up this kid's life anyway. Especially if she is NOT READY!!!!!!
I am sorry to complain about this so much but I just don't get it. It's not about age (despite the fact that SOOOO many of my classmates have already had children). It's about where you are in life. What are YOUR goals? Have you completed your own life? Because as soon as you become pregnant, YOUR life is over. THEIR life is beginning and your priorities must change. Not many people realize this and when their child is crying and needy, you get frustrated and upset. Being a mother (or father) is a COMPLETELY self-less task.
I went through the same sex education as you and I remember these ideals. This is for YOUR well-being as well as your baby's. Next time you have sex, take 1 millisecond at least to think about these things.
And on another note: STOP SMOKING CIGARETTES! This is the nastiest, filthiest habit in the whole world. It does NOTHING GOOD for you and WILL (and I mean it WILL) kill you! If you know someone who smoked for 30 years and died of something not smoking related, that's only because it got to it before smoking did. Don't be a disappointment to yourself when you're older. Don't be a disappointment to your kids.
WHY DON'T MORE PEOPLE KNOW THIS STUFF?!!!!!
