Breast feeding is something to not be ashamed of. It is the best gift you can give to your child. I breast feed my son for 22 months and it was worth it. he was a very happy baby. And still is, i noticed he got fewer colds and ear infections. if any he only had one ear infection throughout his short 2 year life. Breast feeding especially within the first 24 hours after giving birth has these special  antibodies that protects the baby and makes them resist to certain diseases. Plus it saves you alot of money. With breast feeding it’s convenient,natural, and you lose your baby weight alot quicker. formula feeding you have to prepare the formula warm it up while you hear a baby in the background screaming for food. and formula is only good up to an hour in the fridge. breast milk you can pump your milk and store it up to 6 months froze in the freezer, and if not froze fresh breast milk is good in the fridge up to 5 days now thats way cool. your doctor visits will be alot less if you breastfeed. If you formula feed you are guaranteed at least 3 or more visits to the doctors. plus if you breast feed you also will have this bond with your child for the rest of his or her life. You will  get to be more closer with you little one. and if you breast feed it cuts your chances of having breast cancer in half later in life. You decide either way breast feeding is the best gift a mother can give to her children.

Teen pregnancy is a huge problem in America.

Still, teenage pregnancy rates remain high. In the United States, approximately 1 million teenage girls become pregnant every year. As many as 5% of teenage girls give birth and, in 1997, about 13% of U.S. births were to teens. About 25% of teenage girls who give birth have another baby within 2 years. In order to lower teenage birthrates, teens must be educated about sex and the consequences of teen pregnancy.

Teen pregnancy is an important issue. There are health risk to the baby and children born to teenage mothers are more likely to suffer health, social, and emotional problems. There is an increased risk for complications such as premature labor during teen pregnancy. Jamie Lynn spears is one good example of teen pregnancy.

I don’t feel sorry for nick hogan one bit. he is nothing but a spoiled rich brat who thinks he can get his way. recently on the news hulk son nick hogan has gotten in trouble with the law when he was drinking and driving with his best friend a former marine in the car when they crashed into a tree. nick walked out with barely no scratches and his best friend in critical condition still in a coma. the put all the play on the other guy instead of nick. the hogans have no respect when it comes to humans. in a recorded tape in jail hulk and nick talk about when he gets out of jail in 8 months they are planing a new reality show called the new nick. the hogans need to get a life and face reality.

In these day in age a high school diploma won’t get you no where. i have a high diploma and thats proof. i have yet to get a good job. and i felt that i was deceived, because i always heard growing up that if you finish high school and get your diploma you can get a good paying decent job .But thats a lie. well as of today i am in college i attend a university and its about 26,000 dollars for a year to attend. thats a lot of money. but i am lucky i am state funded and i have nothing but grants to show for it. when i graduate college and receive my bachelors degree i will be walking out debt free. i hope that things will get better for me in the future. i don’t like school and i never will but i know this college experience will benefit me 4 years down the line. college grads earn alot more verses someone who has a high school diploma or a GED.

The reason many companies require a college degree is because earning one shows persistence, discipline, the ability to focus, the ability to learn new things,organizational skills and time management skills.

“Why is it important to go to college?” The answer is that, more than ever, attending college provides opportunities for graduates which are not as widespread to those who have not received a higher education.

For many high school students, being able to immediately generate an income after graduation is an appealing thought. They may also be repelled by the rising cost of tuition, and while it is true that a higher education may be one of the largest expenses you will ever face, the importance of a college education has become quite evident in terms of earning potential within today’s economy.

As opposed to generations of the past, high school graduates today are unable to obtain the number of high-paying jobs that were once available. The U.S. has been transformed from a manufacturing-based economy to an economy based on knowledge, and the importance of a college education today can be compared to that of a high school education forty years ago. It serves as the gateway to better options and more opportunity.

The global economy is becoming increasingly more competitive, and in order to give yourself the best chance for a well-paying job, you must first understand the importance of college education.

Attending college provides students with the knowledge and experience they are unable to receive from a secondary education, and finding a way to fund a higher education now can pay off in a huge way in the years to come.

teenage pregnancy affects all of us in some way. i was about 18 years old when i became pregnant with my first child. some times i wonder and think i should have waited and listened to my mom. growing up me and my mom weren’t really that close. but if i had to compare my mom and my dad and who i was semi close to i would say my mother. i don’t have the prefect relationship with my parents but i know in their heart that they love me and want nothing but good things for me. its not very often you will meet a parent that cares about their children like mine does. growing up i lived  in a very sheltered home. my parents were strict. i didn’t have sleepovers or i didn’t get to stay out late like my high school friends did. and at some point id wish that i could trade lives with my other friends because they got to do what ever they wanted and had nicer things than i had. but i look back and i wouldn’t trade my parents for the world.  you only have one mother and one father so make the most out of your relationship with them. i wish i could go back in time and erase all the lies that i told my parents. and running away from home. i regret not telling my grandmother before she passed away in Jan of 06 that i was okay i didn’t get to say good bye and everyday that hurts me sometimes i cry because i should have been their at least to her funeral. i was about 5 or 6 months pregnant at the time. i idolized my mother more because every since she came to America she always had a job never got laid off once. if it wasn’t for her then we wouldn’t have a roof over our heads. my father on the other hand caused my mother nothing but heart ache. he is a big time smoker and gambler. he was in denial like every other person who has an addiction. he would come home each Friday and gamble if not half his check sometimes his whole check away. leaving my mother with all kinds of bills to pay. there was guaranteed arguments in my house everyday. my parents have been married for 18 years. sometimes i wished my mother had left my father long ago and moved on with her life.  he caused my mother nothing but heartache and grief. after 18 years of marriage my father walk out on my one year old sister and i was about 16 at the time. i will never forgive my father for that. and ever since then my life changed for ever. thats when i met people offline which is a risky behavior. these days parents arent really tech savy but i advise any parent please dont have a computer in your childs room you want to be able to put it in the family room so that you can moniter your childs every move. at times i wish my mother didn’t get me the internet because it leds to nothing but trouble. thats when i met paul he is now my husband he is white and i am black he is 49 years old and i am 21 years old i met him on yahoo chat four years ago on cam. what i did was stupid i ran away from home and took the risk of getting hurt or worst. i guess at the time i wasn’t thinking. we now have a biracial son his name is paul also . and he is very funny.keep s you on your toes and he is very active. but a year ago he was diganosed with tof  congential heart disease  its a rare form of heart disease he had to have open heart surgery. it was a shock to me i cried and cried i was scared of losing him. i ask my self what did i do to deserve this. i thought my son was perfectly healthy i breast feed him for  22 months he had his surgery on  march 22 2007 . now he is doing real fine. i don’t want to talk about all the other details because it hurts to much still. well  now my mother she is remarried and  she has a husband that adores her to death. she is also taking care of my baby sister julie ann she is 8 years old i heard that she is getting real big and tall more than likely she will take after my mother because she is tall. my father is living in brooklyn just struggling  to make ends meet. he is a school bus driver for lindenhurst the same school district my sister goes to now. i keep in touch with my mother at least once a week by phone and my father every now and then. eventually i am going to take my son down to long island so he can see his grandparents caused they haven’t seen him in two years. i graduated high school in june of 2005 and now i am in college parttime . i will be going full time real soon so i can get my bachelors degree i am somewhat thrilled. life will change for the better . and the best part my education is free. i am in a grant funded program. so if i am lucky i will leave the university oweing no money. wel thats all i have to say about my life there is too much that has happened in my life i swear i could write a book about my life. gotta go.
