Babies= Accessories? umm..WHY?
Birth is one of life’s most beautiful events. A child is a blessing (Even thou some of them act like Bebe’s kids..smh). Children are the pride and joy of a parent’s heart and they would die for their child. Back in the day having a kid at a young age, say maybe 16, was a complete disgrace. Girls were even scared to go to school because of the ridicule. Nowadays it seems like a baby has become the new bracelet or purse, basically an accessory; almost everyone I see has one.(WTF?) Girls get pregnant and walk around like it’s nothing. They feel no shame. Infact, many girls are happy to be pregnant. They come to school showing off their bellies like “Yea, I’m having a baby”. Making seem like it’s acceptable to have a baby in HIGH SCHOOL. And then, there is this dumb show called Teen Mom on MTV, which perpetuates and encourages teen pregnancy. I find that to be absolutely ridiculous. I’ll be damned if I or my child were to ever have a baby in HIGH SCHOOL and walk around like it’s all good. Honestly, I partially blame the parents of these girls and the girls themselves. Parents I feel either don’t educate their kids enough about sex and teenage pregnancy or put enough fear in their daughters about getting pregnant. My mom, grandma, aunts and ALL my mom’s female friends put enough fear in me for myself AND my children. I was told if I got pregnant they would kill me POINT.BLANK.PERIOD. Also I’m smart enough to take the necessary precautions to not get pregnant like let’s say using a CONDOM or the PILL or maybe NOT HAVING SEX AT ALL =ABSTINENCE! Now I understand that sometimes accidents happen but if you are tracking yourself like you should be you can prevent pregnancy. There is something called the MORNING AFTER PILL which basically stops the sperm from entering the egg. Girls, in this day and age, there is no reason for anyone to call us stupid and uneducated. Maybe back during the early 20th century, that would have been a valid excuse of “oh I didn’t know”, but it doesn’t count now. Children are a great thing. They are a blessing but there is a time and a place for everything. Kids shouldn’t come until you have a stable job and home and can support yourself and your family.
It’s a shame. Many couples in this world can’t even have kids and young girls are just popping them out like it’s a game..SMH

getting pregnant is the new fad and its never going to change, its really up to the female to understand that she will have to deal with the consequences of foolish activity and for young men to realize that he runs of the risks financially when knocking up these little girls.
