Once a teen become pregnant, they have three option. They can keep it, put it up for adoption, or abort it. After realizing her options, she can then figure our who she wants to make the decision with. By law, she is not forced to tell her partner if she decides to abort it. However, no matter what decision she makes its important to have a support system to fall back to. All of the three options can play a huge role on your mental as well as you body. Once a teen finds herself in that position she must stay strong and do what's best for her. She shouldn't have to one day look back and regret her decision.

Depending on the type of person you are, Teen Mom will have a different influence on you. To many, watching Teen Mom is just for entertainment. They don't watch the show and want to become pregnant. They watch it in fear and hopes of that not being them on day. I can honestly say that I believe that Teen Mom has helped many teens not want to become pregnant or learn how to deal with it. I remember watching it as a young girl mortified with all the yelling screaming that took place.The constant fight between the teen and their partner and parents. The pain the sound girl goes through delivering the baby, and just the hectic aftermath and raising the child.

I believe that teen pregnancy is high I'm this country because it glamorized on TV. Many people see the fun side of being pregnant and raising a child in movies and shows and idolize it. In reality, the you can pause and rewind raising a child. Just like we talked about in class, people see babies and think "aww I can't wait to play with it" or " I can't wait to dress it" ,but its not a doll. It a real life human being that heart's beats just like yours and mines. Also I feel like if high school did this project earlier and may be long, it would make a bigger impact. UHS students are lucky though because many high school don't even have this project, let alone take a bout sex and teen pregnancy to begin with. If you don't address the issue head on, then problem will never go away.

NO, I am not ready to have a child. It is too much responsibilities and very time consuming. I do not think that my mind nor body can undergo the changes that pregnancy comes with. A child also comes with a big price tag and my $8.44 won't cover it.
I believe that the most appropriate time to have a child is when you financially stable to raise one. I believe that if must be well of in you career our at least have a clear enough vision on where you are headed. This usually falls around the age 26-30. For some this maybe a little earlier. Personally I am aiming for 28 for my first child and if there are more to come, all let God see me through.

Night Time Routine w/ Mommy

The worse part of the experience would have to be carrying her. For that one week of having her I was almost late to a couple of my classes because I either forgot her, or she was almost falling out of my arms. Another bad part was buying clothes for her. The two times I went to get her clothes I was greeted with judgmental stares and some giggles. Not to mention, as a single mom buying all the supplies and clothes were kinda pricy.

This project stimulates having your own child because it makes you responsible. If i was letting people hold her I was kinda staring them down to make sure they were holding her right. However overall, the small details in the project like the flour makes the experience real. Buying your child clothes and having to make a scrapbook/padlet for you child makes you want to engage and take this baby seriously.

I enjoyed the experience. Overtime Josephine really became apart of me and she was glued to my hip. As much as I enjoyed the project though it has taught me that i am not ready for the responsibilities that come with a baby. I just like the glamorous part like the take pictures. And for a baby that doesn't even cry, she was a lot of work.

The best part was taking Josephine to work. I love how supportive my staff were and how the entertained my assignment. Through bringing my child to work, I learn that many of my co-workers also participated in this project but that had battery powered babies that actually cried. They had to seats and carries for their babies as well just to pass the class.

The number one responsibility that  should be split  between teen parents is the time spent with the child. It is important that both parents are active in the child’s life so one parent doesn't have the burden to. Finance should also be divided, but it would be very hard. Its typical for one part to stay home while the other works. I feel that should be equal on both parents and If wanted to, both parent should be willing to work and support the child as well as be active in their life.As an adult, everything must be split evenly. Both parents must be active and help financially. When it comes to the specifics like diaper changing and bath time and think there should be on and off days and both parents should alternate. I think by doing that is lessen the burden on solely one parent.

Handling delivery as a teen would be very hard for me because I hate pain. I have serious trouble dealing with menstrual pain and I KNOW delivery is 10x worse. I would have a fear of not being able to deliver naturally and would need a C-section. In the delivery room I'd want my partner , my mom, my sister, and maybe his mother. I would honestly feel very self conscience with all those people in room, but I can't be self and no allow them to be apart of a historic moment. A major problem that would probably arise would be my partner telling me to calm down and relax. That is my biggest pet peeve! If he's not pushing this child out himself, don't tell me a single word !

The most difficult part of being a teen parent would be finically supporting the child. Babies are not cheap and I can say that again. After doing the cost list, I realized that money doesn't grow on trees and God bless my mother!  But, finding the money would be hard because as the mom I would most likely have to stay home and raise the child and there would be just some much a teen dad could make without a high school degree. Also, I would hate the fact that I wouldn't be able to go to school and finish with my friends. I wouldn't be able to live a traditional teenage life. Hang out with my friends would be so difficult because I would've responsibilities they wont have to worry about for the next 6-10 years.

If I were to find out I were pregnant, I would cry my eyes out. I would honestly be disappointed in myself for being "reckless". Needless to say other teen moms are careless, but I know myself and that's just my thought process. I would have trouble speaking about and probably wouldn't tell a soul. Before I could attach to anything I would probably abort the child. Knowing myself, I have attachment issues and get attached to almost everything. I wouldn't want to tell my friends because I'm the "mom of the group and I know they would look at me differently. I also wouldn't want to tell my partner just because I would be upset if he wanted to keep it. At this stage of my life, I can not support or raise a child. Im not even done growing.
