AlphaChiGirl-
"I do feel as if society has glamourized the plight of the unwed, teenage mother--made it seem much easier than it obviously is."
I don't think that society glamorizes unwed pregnacies. Sex is glamorized to a large degree. Also, it sounds as if you had a stable home with two good parents so, you are NOT "lucky", you ARE "blessed"-don't take your upbringing lightly.
Conskeeted19,
I had people like you by my side, that is why I am blessed. Very thankful.
Prettygirl,
I know a good publishing company that could help you out.
You may have a long post but a very valid one. Young BLACK girls are looked down on by a lot of people. And yes there are some young mothers who live around and for that child. I know one woman who is fanatastic-she is actually a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. I admire her because she is very motivated in her studies and she takes great care of her child.
Your last point has a lot of validity. I do have peers who have responsible parents that don't care and screw up beyond belief. And I also know parents who started having children at the age of 30, that still should have thought hard before having any children.
Prettygirl, you a woman who had a child at a young age, don't think that I am bashing all young mothers because their are responsible parents out there. However, I shared my story of what I went through and what I see, where I live.
