I wouldn't know how to take care of it. It would become a huge responsibility on my part. I would have to sacrifice other things to make time to care for the baby. The first people I would tell would be my parents. No matter how ashamed I would be, I'd need need to tell them, because I would undoubtedly need their help and support in caring for the baby. I wouldn't have any experience in caring for a baby, and being a teen, I would have so many other things to worry about. I would lose time to do other things, like play soccer or work, for example. ]]> 2017-10-31 14:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202142134 emily_hernandez7 https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202150543 2017-10-31 14:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202150543 emily_hernandez7 https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202151629 The delivery of Aubrey Taylor was very horrific, she didn’t want to come out on time.  It was definitely a struggle, there was some difficulties during the delivery. I was so scared because i wanted to make sure that the baby and i would both be okay. I would want me mom and my baby's father in the room. My fear was that either me or Aubrey would come off the table alive. My partner and I did have a disagreement. He was very nervous which then only made me even more nervous. In the end the baby and i are perfect, and the issue with my partner is resolved.

I did my best to support Emily, even though we were both pretty nervous. Overall, Aubrey's delivery was fine, besides the fact there were a few complications. Aubrey was expected earlier. So Emily and I were both hesitant on whether there would be any issues with Aubrey's delivery. Luckily, everything was fine. I'd definitely want my parents by my side, as well as my parents in law. ]]> 2017-10-31 14:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202158247 emily_hernandez7 https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202375761 Think about the most difficult thing i would have to say about being a teen parent is being able to live my life like the way i did before. I wouldn't be able to go out with my friends as much or even at all. I would have a lot more responsibility and a lot more on my plate than my friends. My life differs from my friends very drastically. I wont be able to have fun and have free time like they do. Just having Aubrey alone is so much work, so not being able to live my life like before is definitely a big struggle. It sucks not being able to go out late with my friends because i'm with Aubrey. It definitely will take some to adjust to Aubrey schedule but i know me and Luis will make it work. ]]> 2017-11-01 03:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202375761 luis_ferreira https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202522668 The most challenging thing about being a teen parent is the responsibility it is. In addition to caring for yourself, you have to take care of an extra person. And babies require a lot of attention, so it's almost double the amount of work when compared to taking care of yourself. In addition to taking care of the baby, you have other obligations. If you have a job, for example. You need to cut down on the number of hours, or possibly even stop working, to care for the baby. On top of that, you'd have to bring the baby wherever you go. You might start slacking in school, your grades might drop, etc,. The main difference between how my life would differ from my friends who are not parents is that I would have an extra responsibility. ]]> 2017-11-01 14:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202522668 emily_hernandez7 https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202525815 The reason why teen pregnancy rate is so high is because teenagers don't think that there actions have reactions. They tend to do things without thinking, one of them being unprotected sex. They don't realize how much work it is to take care of a baby. There is so much that goes into having a baby. The reason why teens want to have a baby because they think they're cute. In reality that is not all it takes to take care of a baby. Teens never think before they do. A baby requires so much time and responsibilities.]]> 2017-11-01 14:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202525815 luis_ferreira https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202741178 The reason teen pregnancy rates are so high in the United States is because at such a young age, we are unprepared and immature. We like to think we're adults, and ready to take on adult-like responsibilities. In reality, we are foolish to think that we could take care of a baby. We barely know how to care for ourselves, let alone a baby. Along with this, teens are very irresponsible when it comes to wearing protection during intercourse. Many teens don't know the risk they are taking, whether it's concerning STD's or unplanned pregnancies. The reason why some teens might want a baby is because they think it's easy and cute. But it's quite the opposite. Babies are a lot of work. ]]> 2017-11-01 23:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202741178 luis_ferreira https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202932032 When having a child as a teen, you have to ration a majority of your time of the day to care for the baby. This could mean that you might have to stop many or all after school activities. You might have to stop working. You need to direct your attention into taking care of the baby. Sacrifices in your schedule must be made to make room to watch the baby. On the other hand, when you have a child as an adult, you're more prepared. It's a frequent responsibility as an adult to have to care for a baby, as many adults in relationships wish to have one. Adults don't have to worry about school when they have a baby, and they could take some time off work if needed to care for the baby in its early few weeks. ]]> 2017-11-02 14:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/202932032 emily_hernandez7 https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/203242679 When being a teen parent, splitting responsibilities is very important. A couple night ill do the night time feeding and the my partner will do the other half.We also need to split the diaper changing and the bottle feeding during the day . It will be difficult to find a way to spilt the duties. I think the best way to spilt the duties is to create a chart or schedule to go by to make sure things get done. As for adults it will be a little bit harder to spilt the duties because they have jobs. They will defiantly need to sacrifice a lot to spilt the duties. Having a baby is very time consuming.  ]]> 2017-11-03 12:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/203242679 luis_ferreira https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/203304610 I believe Teen Mom has a bad influence on teens. In my opinion, the show should be removed completely and shouldn't be broadcast. The show promotes teen pregnancies and makes it seem that it's perfectly normal. However, they don't show you what goes on behind the scenes. They don't show you what it takes to actually take care of a baby. Teenagers nowadays follow anything they see on television. If they see people their age getting famous because of getting pregnant as a teen, they'll want to mimic them. The show sets a bad example for teenagers.

If they choose not to have the baby, 'plan B' is an option. However, if you plan on keeping the baby, the first thing you should do is to definitely notify your parents. You can't keep a baby a secret forever, so it's better to tell them before hand than when they find out on their own. From there, you should probably go to the doctors, so you could inform yourself on what to do next. Doctors will help you throughout the whole pregnancy process. You want to make sure you're as prepared as possible. And finally, you could choose to hide the baby, although that won't really work out. Eventually someone, whether your friends or family, will find out. ]]> 2017-11-05 03:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/203586615 emily_hernandez7 https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/203878031 Teen Mom in my opinion is a horrible show. It shows young girls that they can get pregnant and become famous. It doesn't inform young girl how its like to be a teen mom because its all fake . It is a reality show, it is all staged. It also shows young women that have a baby at that age is normal. I know sometimes it happens , and it doesn't make you not normal. This show if anything teach teens to be just like these girl. They worship these girls thinking they have it all. ]]> 2017-11-06 14:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/203878031 emily_hernandez7 https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/203933983 When teenagers become pregnant they have many options. They could either keep the baby, give the baby up for adoption, or have an abortion. There are even pills called " Plan B" which is a pill you will take to terminate the pregnancy. If you decide to keep the baby it is a lot of responsibility, time , and money. If you decide to give your baby up for adoption that is a tough decision. It is very hard to give your baby to a stranger. And if you terminate the pregnancy that something that can effect you greatly. That will always be in your conscious. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/luis_ferreira/7k7srnrynanz/wish/203933983
