Teen moms judged on campus

Why knock someone down before they even get the chance to fight? The only thing that makes a teen mom different is adding mom to the list of things to categorize them as.

There really isn’t any other difference other then their title and eventually the responsibility as a parent, It only comes down to one fact, everyone is still a human being, whether you choose to be a closed-minded, judgmental one or not your still a human just like everyone else, just like a teen mom.

In all honesty, when a teen mom walks by or in the room the first thing that happens is people look at their face, then belly which is followed by one of two things, either a surprised reaction or a really ugly look.

It’s understandable for both, opinions are opinions but the unnecessary commentary is where the line is drawn.

Rumors travel, it is high school. Students know better then anyone else words hurt, no matter the person or the situation that they are in at the time.

So why judge and talk bad about someone unless you are having the same personal experiences as the person your sitting there talking bad about?

As humans, judging comes natural, that’s just the way society has everyone. But it’s a choice to keep it to yourself or say it out loud. The complication’s of pregnancy are nausea, swelling and bearing another human being, not being blind or deaf, just so you know.

Making accusations on all teen moms over the way media and other people portray them is unfair to the teen moms that are actually trying. Trying their hardest to finish school and go to college, work and on top of that provide for a child and give it a good future.

Being pregnant doesn’t mean giving up goals, or messing up your future by having a kid, it means its time to grow up and work hard at the life you created for yourself and raise the life you brought into this world.

Whether you meant to or not, its called life. Everyday something happens whether we like it or not we have to live with the outcome of our actions. It may be just me but I’d rather live everyday knowing I have something and someone to work hard for then knowing I had someone and ended their life without giving them a chance.

Growing up is apart of life, everyone does it at different times, some sooner then others. Although some may not believe in holding teen moms to a higher bracket of standards think, teen moms need to be strong and stay strong not for just one person, but for a family and a better future.

Think about it some of your moms were teen moms and I’m sure they had to go through exactly what teen moms now have to go through, but if they would have gave up or didn’t take responsibility, where would you be?

Nobody is perfect, we all makes mistakes, everyone’s situation is different I’m not saying to praise teen moms. Think of it this way It’s not your life or your problem, so it doesn’t give you any right to judge or be rude to another human being for being in a different situation then you.

Teen moms shouldn’t be ostracized, we are still teens, still human beings, just a parent as well. Our children give us more motivation to do better everyday, and not give up.
