Teenage Pregnancy
I don't have a problem with teenage pregnancy, it's just the fact that who it effects in the long run. It is the fact that these young, intelligent and beautiful females are getting pregnant too quick and don't realise that they are effecting not only themselves but their family as well. I would understand if you it were to happen in their senior year of high school, but some are even getting pregnant while they are still in middle school. I feel that we as young women should be focused on getting well educated so that we can provide more for our children when that time comes instead of relying on the parents to help out. I hope that in the near future the rate of teenage pregnancy in the United States will decrease.
The issue I want to talk about is teenage drama. I think teenage drama is very dangerous. I think it is dangerous because the world is getting worst and you really cant trust anybody. It is a known fact that more and more teenagers are losing their life over little incidents. For example, many people talk about other people's business and sometimes dont know when to stop. If they get to carried away than that could lead to many things like fights or death. To avoid teen violence or drama, I think a solution would be everybody should get home schooled or stay to themselves.
Female VS. Female Violence
So many females get into so many confrontations. This is basically mostly effective between our teenage females. This is something that is a constant issue because females have a tendency to fight over the pettiest and cattiest things. They gossip the most about everything, and it just gets to a point where it's intolerable. Females have a high level of shiestiness towards relationships and sometimes are relentless and remorseless towards their friendships. Most of the controversy, comes about over a guy. It's a problem now because females have to learn to respect each other, the act of being so violent towards each other it's getting out of hand. You'll see these girls fighting in the streets over the most pathetic and irrelevent things. Females are so quick to fight and that is an issue that needs to be resolved in an orderly fashion too.
Racism Conflicts
There is so much racism in today's world. Sometimes it makes you think, "Why are people fighting each other over race?" Well, there is a long story about that. Back long, long ago, people use to not like each other just because of race. I don't have a problem with other people of a different race. To me, I don't look at color at all. People always make fun of you if you go out with someone of a different race or because of what race you are. And they always disagree also. Most of the people in the world that disagrees with the diversity in the world today is, parents, and grandparents. They grew up differently, and was taught different from everyone else. But, they need to learn how to let it go, and accept that the new generation doesn't care much about race. No one can change the fact there is always a racist person somewhere in the world. But, all we can do, is just accept the way they are, yet also ignore their opinion. Follow your own path and what you feel about others, don't go by what other people say. Don't look at a person's skin, look at who they are, their personality, and their heart and feelings. Just because they may look different, doesn't mean they don't have feelings too.
One thing thatI have a problem with is the lack of wanting an education amongst the black community. It disturbs me the way black people rant and rave about white people always being on top and they can never have anything. But what they don't realize is that if they continue to say it and think it, it will always be true. This summer, when i went on my Black College Tour we stopped at a couple of famous places such as the Rosa Parks Museum and the house that Martin Luther King lived in that was bombed. What amazed me the most was how there were more white people at those places than black people. It is amazing at how they are more interested in our history than we are. Why that is? We may never know.
My response to Teenage pregnancy is that I do agree with Shanaye'. but I dont agree with the statement when she stated that girls are getting pregant too quick. I dont agree because she wasnt specific. In some countries they are expected to birth children at a young age. In this country, it may seem that kids are having babies too young but in reality, everything happens for a reason. Therefore I believe if you get pregnant its for a reason and the decisions u make can affect your whole life.
An issue that is important to me is Teenagers in alcohol abuse. Most teens now a days think its cute to use drugs and drink. But it reaaly is not all that cute and it makes them look very bad to smoke and drink. And it also causes lung cancer and it can also result in death if they do it too much. Some of the teens parents will smoke and drink with them and make them think that it is okay but it is not. So that is what I feel strongly about.
DIVORCE
This is talking about the issue of how divorce affects the children. Most children are usually stuck in the middle of the conflict between their parents. In some cases the parents use the kids aganist each other, using them to convince the other to pay child support or to get back at them for divorcing them in the first place. Kids are usually don't see much of one parent, or blame themselves for the divorce. Other children are driven into gangs or depression from their parents getting a divorce.
My resonse is on Teenage Pregnancy. I feel that most young girls should either wait until they get married or they should have their sexual partner "wrap it up". But most of the females today are getting pregnant young and either getting an abortion or mistreating the child. And the child didn't even ask to be here or even ask to be brought into this cruel evil world. So that is how I feel on the issue about Teen Pregnancy.
Replying to Shanaye...
I agree with you. There are too many young ladies getting pregnant. By me being pregnant I know how it feels first hand. If I did'nt have the support of my family and child's father I would not be able to make as easily. It is harder on some teens than it is on me. I have continued to stay on high honorol. I have the second highest g.p.a of my senior class. I come to school everyday and I don't use my situation as an excuse to do less than my best. Knowing that I will become a mother very soon makes me work harder. Everything that I have set frward for myself I have accomplished, regardless of what peolple my say. People are very quick to judge but it has never distracted me. I'm different from other teen moms because I am dedicated, hardworking, and don't believe in excuses. I will remain on top and attend the University of Dearborn in the fall of 2008. I love the way my life is going and would not trade it for the world.
Racism Conflicts Response
I agree with Shareka on her comment about racism. I think that in these times people should learn to get along no matter what the race and gender are. It is a shame that people cannot be accepted because of who they are instead of what they are. I only pray for those who have and are dealing with racism in their lives and just continue to keep Jesus in their prayers. I continue to pray for those whom have had and still are suffering from racial profiling.
Reply to Kornelia Cooper
I agree with what you said.
Something that I feel strongly about, is that people should mind their own business, and concerns. The reason I feel this way is because, while attending the Academy of Inkster: and by it being a small school, others tend to gossip, and maintain a lot of drama, in others lives. When if they kept to themselves, you could avoid all of the mishaps involved, with speaking on others, and their situations. Also its no one else’s business but that person, and whomever they choose to share it with. By it being a high, especially one of its capacity. It is hard not to keep a story going, or talk about it to others. By why carrying on something that has absolutely nothing to do with you. My whole purpose of this entry was to let others know that we some carry on too much drama, and by not telling everyone yours business, you can avoid. I’m not saying you have to keep to yourself, but know what is appropriate, and what is not. If you’re scared of something getting around, maybe, you shouldn’t share it at all
Response to Divorce Topic
I agree with Sarah. Many people are scarred for life sometiems when a divorce accurs. They're always stuck in the middle and have to make decisions. At least, if someone was deciding to get a divorce, don't argue about it; especially in front of the kids. Just leave things alone, arguing about it and bringing it back up will only make it harder for the child. And when they give the child the option to choose which parent.
HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT RATE
There are too many teenagers dropping out of high school. They do not realize that having an education is so important. Getting a GED is not good enough. A college or job would rather accept a high school diploma than a GED. Teenagers do not have their priorities in order and loose track of what is important in life. I think that teenagers need to focus more on their future and education than worrying about other things that are not important. If you are not one of those lazy teens than this does not apply to you.
To High to Drive
the high price on gas is causing my social life and personal relationships with important friends to clash. Because these prices are so high i am limited to my where abouts. I can only go some where with friendsor family if they come toget me which is very unlikely because they stay in west detroit and i stay in inkster. If gas prices are lowered then my and my familys social life will grow and we wouldn't have to want or need anything more.
commenting teenage drama
I stand in agreeance with miss neli on this issue. i aslo believe that teens and drama is a very dangerous combination. I also think that all drama would be rissolved if everyone kept their comments, words, or thoughts about others private: to them selves, if it's not any thing positive. i know and understand that trust is the main reason gossip speads. if people didnt trust so freely they would keep all they had to say to themselves because they'd have no one to tell their thoughts to!
