My Fair Well To 1312!
Online opinion piece was a success well my draft was i guess people do understand my point in the next successful step in reducing teenage pregnancy! Really makes me feel like people are willing to hear out good ideas with facts to back it up, yet i still feel there will be a lot of work in order to really get my idea heard and believe me i will do something to get it out there. This however ends my blog for the semester and my semester in English 1312 which i enjoyed because i happen to really find english interesting despite the fact that it hardly has anything to do with my major! Along with i hope everyone who's read my blog learned the important message i tried so very hard to get through for everyone to see that waiting on having children can be the difference between ones success and failure in life. Not trying to say don't ever have kids i am just trying to say to finish being a kid yourself before bringing a child into our world. The wait is key to benefit both ones self and children being that children who wait are most likely to continue their education and have a successful career therefore being able to financial, emotionally, and mentally support their children. And having a happy stable family is key in any child's life!!!

I had an online opinion paper due this last week on what policy i think should be made in order to prevent teenage pregnancies and i quickly knew the best solution would be to have high schools incorporate a parenting course. What i suggested was to have this parenting course be made mandatory for all students to complete with an average of 70 or above in order to graduate. Why? Because i feel schools are the best way to tackle down the problem of teenage pregnancies being that adolescents already spend the majority time at school, so mid as well educate them on the reality of engaging in sexual intercourse. I really feel the schools boards throughout the United States should really put this policy into affect because with knowledge all adolescents have more of a chance of practicing abstinence or the power of protection! Many schools do not do much to educate students about sex because there are certain restrictions but in reality sex ed should be a school priority and be used to protect our youth from making the wrong choices. By having electronic babies, presentations, and lectures students will get an inside look on the consequences of engaging in sexual intercourse therefore significantly reducing the numbers of teenage pregnancies! If you all would like to know more about this idea you can google electronic babies and see how they have changed the minds of many adolescents.

Blog I Follow: #2 Teen Baby Blog!
I love this blog and ever since i've began following it ive learned so much because its so educational when it comes to pregnancies and teens i mean it not only shows articles about ways to prevent teenage pregnancy but it gives studies and statistics of the rate of teenage pregnancies amoung different ethnic groups! Like one blog i read was that Hispanic are more likely to get pregnant before the age of 20! I found that distubing being that i am Hispanic and live in a city that hispanic's dominate but the sad truth is i really do see more and more pregnant girls now and days anywhere i go! They even show studies of things that contribute to the start of an adolescents engaging in sexual intercourse like music, their communities, and alcohol. I just think adolescents should really take time to look at this blog because they will get a lot of insight on different aspects of teenage pregnancies and its very eye opening and might even scare adolescents! What also caught my attention was that they give us insight on the upcoming plans going to work for prevention programs throughout america, which from what ive read our government has invested thousands of dollars so i hope to see a great decline after these programs have started. So to all you adolescents you should TAKE A LOKK AT THIS BLOG, might make a huge difference in the way you think!
I was in shock today! I went to the doctor with my sister who is a soon to be mother and i saw so many pregnant TEENAGERS!!! Just goes to show what an epidemic teenage pregnancy has became and that just honestly disappoints me i mean why don't schools, communities even more PARENTS make more of an effort to put a stop to this!!! I mean schools can start by enforcing a mandatory parenting course that needs to be completed with a passing grade that will educate teenagers more about abstinence, contraceptives, and has electronic babies that are monitored that they can take home so that teenagers have more sense of mind of what sex brings. Communities should also take time to promote abstinence being that abstinence prevents more than pregnancy, and parents should just take more time to listen to their children and not let them get to seriously involved with someone and by limiting the time they spend at parties because that is the easiest way for an adolescent to get drunk and engage in sexual intercourse. I just really hope to see a decrease in the number of teenage pregnancies in the next decade because if nothing is done then what is our future gonna be looking like! Because don't forget "Almost everything great has been done by our YOUTH" and i hope that continues!!!

Blogs I Follow: #1 The Life of Ashley Salazar!
I been following this blog about Ashley and her life for a while now it has a lot to do with how she feels about having to give her daughter Callie up for adoption because she couldn't support her. I find it so interesting that she is really be affected by the adoption even though her daughter is not with her and for that is forever a changed person, you get to read about her days were she completely feels torn by her decision but yet you can still read about her highs which in my own eyes would probably have not been if she had kept her daughter. I also like that you get to read all the comments people write to her and its amazing how she can answer them with such a strong mind being she in her heart has made her decision and will forever live with it knowing "IT WAS FOR THE BEST". I really find myself in her at times because she too totally agrees that TEENS SHOULD WAIT TO GET PREGNANT because its a life changing experience no matter what you chose: Abortion, Adoption, or To keep your child; it all has its toll! She like me has the blessing to continue her education yet i feel bad that her daughter isn't around to experience her accomplishments with her. All this goes to show once pregnant "NEVER THE SAME AGAIN" which i wish teenagers now would understand so that they can save themselves from experiencing the heart ace and pain Ashley went through or the loss of youth like i experienced! Really you guys should read into her blog its very eye opening and can help you teenagers to realize waiting is the best choice!!!!
Started my documentary and its weird because even though i changed it up and did my documentary on adoption it still managed to some how touch on teenage pregnancy! I mean not that they don't somehow inter twin but i just saw teenage pregnancy in a different light. I want to share my thoughts on how i feel adoption is a great option for those unexpected pregnancies being that their are many different aspects to adoptions that can really benefit the child involved. Being that parents have the opportunity to have an open or closed adoption, also i feel adoption helps children have the opportunity of being apart of a happy home with stability, love, and unity. But i also feel this can be a devastating decision that i feel many adolescents will have a difficult time coping with being that many adolescents are emotionally unstable which is why i still think teen pregnancies should be stopped before any rational decisions will need to be made! Teen pregnancy can be a very bumby road with to many left and rights being that as a teen mother i always saw the road i wanted but went on the road i needed to take in order to provide for my child, which can really be difficult for an adolescent to do if they do not take the responsibility of having a child seriously therefore can end up neglecting their child. A child should be brought up in this world with love, stability, and unity which many adolescents cannot provide at such a young age themselves! If any of you want to learn more about adoption there are so many resources but i suggest www.adoption.org!
