Ok, is this stupid children Friday! I know, I know you should never call a child stupid but the nonsense in the news today is utterly ridiculous and disheartening.
A group of teens at Gloucester high School in Gloucester Massachussetts made a pact to get pregnant. Over 17 young women, most under the age of 16 have gotten pregnant during this school year. The numbers were so startling that the school officials decided to investigate what was going on.
What they found was that these young girls were getting pregnant on purpose. There is so much wrong with this situation that it is not even funny. 1. We have children playing with the lives and futures of these babies that they are about to bring into the world. 2. STD’s are spread through unprotected sex, it is logical to assume that if all these girls are getting pregnant that they are having unprotected sex with these men.
The article states that one man is 24 years old and homeless and he is the father of one of these young girl’s babies. These young girls are searching for love in all the wrong places. It’s sad that they went to such lengths to gain attention. I am truly worried for the young women of the coming generation. In a world where youtube booty shaking and naked photos of young girls pop up everywhere on the internet I am concerned for their well being. I am concerned for the future mothers of our children. Ofcourse it would be preposterous to assume that all young girls are acting this way. But any time you see 17 young girls at one high school making pacts to get pregnant that should let you know that this is a growing problem.
It would be a waste if I just ranted about these problems and said nothing in the way of solutions for such a problem. We need young women to mentor these young girls. We need young men to mentor our young sisters and present them with more respectful and favorable images of themselves. We need to enstill respect in these young ladies. Not only respect for themselves but respect for their peers and most importantly their own bodies. I pray for these 17 young children coming into this world, and I pray for these girls because the road to parenthood is not be easy by any stretch of the imagination. Now that we have watched these young ladies make these mistakes it is up to their parents, communities, churches and us to help support young women in such a situation and to prevent other young ladies from making similar mistakes. Peace and Love!
Letter to a young black female
What’s up young lady. You may not know who I am but I know who you
are. You see, I see your potential, I envision you accomplishing all
of your dreams and goals. Anything that you set your mind to can and
will be yours if you just Believe!
Believe in what you may ask? Yourself! Believe that you are the
intellect which has governed civilizations for century upon century.
Believe that you are the standard of beauty and not whatever images
the media shells out at you. Believe that there is no task too big
or too small that you can not reach for and achieve.
Realize young lady that women have always been at the helm of
everything great. James Brown said it best, “this is a man’s world but
it wouldn’t be nothing without a woman or a girl”. You have so many big
sisters to look up to, so many sources of inspiration that have
provided the framework of the strong work ethic known as womanhood.
Notice I call you young lady for these terms that I hear you referred
to are not your names. You are a Queen who must demand respect, your
mere presence should command respect. You must first respect yourself
however, and respect your fellow sisters as well. Together you young
ladies make up the future table of leadership.
God made you to be special, he made you to stand apart from the crowd.
So fear not if you feel isolated or alone, look back to your big
sisters who have changed the landscape of history, they once felt
alone too. I write you this letter to show my admiration for you, to
pay homage to the beautiful gift that the creator is bestowing upon
us. Follow your dreams and believe in your path young lady, for the
very thought of you reaching a tenth of your potential is an
inspiration to us all!
Truly yours,
Cedric D. Shine (your #1 fan)

speaking from experience they are nuts life is hard enough just trying to get by yourself but now you have to step up your game and make sure you can provide for 2 and make sure the little one is safe at all times childcare is not the greatest but you are going to have to work or go to school to benefit both of you guys. Just think about it before you do something like that. Have a plan start with how you will pay for rent, than add light, gas, clothes, shoes, pampers, laundry, school tution, carefare, childcare, medical insurance, money for emergencies something always comes up that you don’t expect!!! oh…. wait you didn’t even eat yet ! ha ha ha GOOD LUCK GUYS BE SAFE THINK FIRST IT’S REALLY HARD!!!!!
hey my name is nikita and i am 16 years old and i had a pretty baby girl name Tess and she is 2 months old and i thought i was going to die when i had her but i did not die
if i was u girls that is having babies alot stop what u r doing and go back to school ok i did and i was scared to talk to someone about this but i was talking to my big sister named debony and she been through this too.
Who is to say that what these girls have done is a “mistake”? Granted, these females have no idea of the intensity and difficulty their decisions have in store for them. However, the article stated that the females were lacking in love and affection in their lives. Having a baby is not a good way to fill the void a lack of affection may leave, but who is to say that this whole thing is”sad” or a “big mistake”? A baby will not only bring responsibility that will keep the young gils from having a “normal” adolesence, but the baby will also bringg with it love, compassion, and a whole new point of view concerning the value of life. Often times I have made decisions without understanding the ramifications and/or consequences of those decisions. While those decisions did not include having a baby, they were very serious decisions, and I do not regret them. Young females should be taught that the purpose of giving birth is not to fill a void due to adolesence. I think that is unhealthy, but to call them “stupid” or idiotic simply undermines the situation. Perhaps we should reevaluate the way our society deals with young females.
ithink this is so retarded i come from gloucester im a middle student and u guys r makeing a huge deal utta odirnary stuff there r this many girls pergo every where they just hide it we dont care wat ppl think u guys need to get over ur selfs
i say get all the little sluts you can pregnant
I think you are speaking from an immature state of mind and still need some growing up to do. Because if you were a women you wouldn't state a retarded remark. Even though your a male you should actually be acting a lot more mature then that. Seems like your parents don't care to much for you to where your stating hurtful, immature, retarded remarks. Try acting your age and learn more about the community you l;ive in instead of not knowing a thing and stating immature things online.
u ignorant SOB U B THE TYPE OF LAME ASS WHO SLEEP AROUND AND GET MULTIPLE GIRLS PREGO AND THEY GET YA ASSS FOR CHILD SUPPORT AND THEN ULL BE CRYIN LIKE A LIL PUNK ABOUT EVER SAYIN THOSE WERDS
I'm a Middle School student and I think it is wrong that girls that are about my age, getting pregnant, That means all of their dreams and wishes go down the drain. I mean who is going to take care of you and your child? What these girls need to do is get their education and not play around with these boys to get attention, you need to know that your body IS a temple of God himself and your not showing him respect if you do those things. Girls you are beautiful no matter what and you need to realized that getting pregnant is NOT the answer. Getting your career together is the right way, Don't worry these boys will be here ,just worry about yourself for the time being.
you sound very intelligent, please continue on the right track
well, i would not recomend getting pregnant if you dont have the right financial and emotinal things fit to caring for a child. Even though you might think pregnant people are cool looking or something ( like i do ) still wait until your ready and have a good life.
lil wayne who stole your son and how many kids do you have.your daughter is also cute .does she be on some of your rap videos or home most of the time.
i think you guys are al dumb and need to grow up and worry about yourselfs and not the girls goin out and gettin pregnant!!!! its their bodies not your so dnt worry about wat their dewin with themselves.
u think wrong!! if u think that way then u must got a baby!!!
We have to learn to spell before we can criticize others who are trying to help.

Then dey need to worry bout kids afta dey got money to take care of dem!!
As most of these comments have evidenced, education and respect for onself and others is in short supply these days. Yes, I totally agree Native, if a Queen was leading these girls by example then this would most likely not have occurred. The key is guiding children very early on, so they don't stray later.
I am 13 and have given birth to Emily, and is pregnant with Elizabith for 2 mounths. There is nothing wrong with that.
