“You’re fat, ugly, stupid and I’m going to cut your face up. If anyone takes a second look at you it’s because you’re so F---ing disfigured. You’re not even a whole woman anymore, no one will ever want you!” The beatings began just after we married. After 14 years of beatings, one night I woke up the girls. We left and never went back. In high school I allowed a teacher to cause me to feel so ashamed about being pregnant my senior year, I dropped out with a full scholarship to college. I gave it up because the first time I felt my baby move inside me I knew I couldn’t leave her. She felt like bubbles. I was given a choice by my mom. Go to college or get out and marry the baby’s dad. I blame no one but myself for the decisions I’ve made. My …show more content…
Most I’ve met throughout my career and by helping them with what at a time in their life was very difficult. I had no idea what to do for a video, since my speech is affected by my disabilities, so in a search for the answer to the topic question, I sent out a mass text message. I was overwhelmed, humbled, and the video issue solved. I will read from those whose lives I have I touched through my job as a legal assistant and radio personality. At a turning point in my life I became very outspoken, I’ve seen more doing my job and in life that people only see in movies. Those experiences and the abuse haunt me. I made the choice, and criminal law was all I knew, I was good at my job and I provided well, for my girls. Now they provide for me. After all, each of us do what we must for reasons many others will never understand, nor is it anyone’s business to judge. I’ve always wanted to become a lawyer. I disappointed my mother when I became pregnant and she knew how hard my life would be without an education. Her first job began at 3am, six days a week making tortillas at a restaurant, she was home by 7am to get ready for her full time job. She cleaned houses and offices seven days a week into the late hours every night. She wanted better for me and I failed

Reason to listen to you: Up until fifteen years ago, I never thought I would be a victim of domestic violence. There was no way I was going to allow anyone put their hands on me. As the outsider you hear stories
Everyone of you hearing this, whether I’m reading it to you or you are reading it yourself need to understand that you need to thank god your mothers wanted you. We are blessed by each person on this Earth, including you. Justin Bieber, Celine Dion, Pope John Paul II, even Steve Jobs were almost victims of abortion. Could we imagine a world without the technological advances discovered by Jobs? No matter what your point of view is, whether Pro Choice or Pro Life, the fact alone that your mother did not think you were “inconvienient” or “a financial leech” should be enough to make you Pro Life. Of course it isn’t always this simple, but no matter what, you’re here. Count yourself lucky that you were given the right to life. Now, why is it just that you get to breathe the same air as I, yet millions of abortions are occuring each year? Let me rephrase that. Why is it that you live and say you are Pro Choice when there are milliions of babies, innocent lives killed each year? No matter how many times you say it isn’t viable therefore it doesn’t have a right to life doesn’t change that it is indeed a life. Someone (Pro Choice obviously) brought up to me the point that bacteria is life. Why do we get to use
“Adopting one child won 't change the world: but for that child, the world will change.” (Unknown)(Buzzle.com). Adoption can take place in multiple shapes, forms, and fashions. You can adopt from a local adoption agency, or adopt from an orphanage half way around the world. You can adopt a child whose parents are no longer living, or you could adopt from a young mother who is not ready to raise a child. You can adopt one child who has touched your heart from an orphanage in Uganda, or a set of triplets being moved around from house to house in foster care. There are still further motivations and reasons for adopting. What if you and your spouse are unable to become pregnant? The desire to be parents does not diminish with the lack of
A little background history of the urgency this book places in my heart towards the broken. I grew up in a single parent home, my mom divorced my adulterous abusive father after she (and inadvertently us) experienced some injurious abuse leaving her hospitalized. This was just the beginning of the violence I would experience and see as a ‘women’ in this world. Now a child of a single parent home, the violence was turned towards me, first starting with my brother’s endless abuse, not your average sibling rivalry, rather pretending to drown me, suffocate me, sitting on me. As my brother became harder to control, it was my mom’s abuse towards the two of us physical, mental and the neglect. As my mother’s boyfriend moved in with us, then begin more of the abuse
We encountered emotional abuse watching my mother get traumatized by her boyfriend. My sister and I feared my mother’s life for 10 years. He started off as a nice person then switched gradually. I remember this day as if it was yesterday when my mother was screaming, I jumped up to find her, and she was beaten and bruised. My sister and I got involved; he threw my sister over the table and me into a wall. I got up and fought until the police came to arrest him. The day he left a weight was lifted off our shoulders. We felt secure and safe that day, we no longer had to worry or fear leaving the house without our
Sex is dirty. Sex is kinda gross. Sex is the nastiest thing I do on a regular basis that is pretty dirty and messy and overall unclean. But that 's okay, because that 's what happens when you strip down the human body and start poking at its organs. Even alone, in your own home, when no one is looking, there is so much stuff that comes out of a body. There are so many flaws that we can see. There are aches and pains, there are bumps and bruises, there are boogers and blood. We cannot stop the flow of tears, the stench of sweat, the growth of hair.
Most children seem to have ideas of what they would like to be when they grow up. The average person walking into any kindergarten class today would find future teachers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, astronauts, firefighters, and ballerinas; the list is endless. I never had the chance to even dream about what I wanted to be when I grew up and was given little chance to develop my own tastes and ideas towards this goal. I spent my childhood trying to be the good example to my younger brother and sister that my father demanded in his letters. All the while I was hoping and praying that my mother and father would get back together. The only thing I knew was being a mom and that is what I thought I wanted to be.
My educational journey has been like a roller coaster. I have been in the worst spot of my life time. Where I hate going to school but, also think about my father education. My career goal is one of my most important in my life to better myself than I am today tomorrow I will better than yesterdays.
Teen pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) have become a major issue in the United States. One reason is that many young people lack the knowledge and resources they need to protect themselves from pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted diseases. In fact, teenage mothers have stated that the education provided to them did not prepare them for the possible repercussions of unprotected sex. The result of this lack of accountability, whether in the home or at school, has aided in the rise in teen pregnancy and STDs. In order for teen pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Disease rates to decrease, schools must implement abstinence-plus education.
As time goes on, teen pregnancy is becoming more and more common throughout the world. So many people frown upon this whole idea. Such people act as if the teenage parents’ world is going to come to an end. Although these kids’ life is going to be making a big turn, there are many of them who are mature enough to take on the responsibilities of a baby.
A. Attention Getter: The amount of teenagers that get pregnant around the age of 15 through 17 is quite concerning. Even though most Teenage Pregnancies are unintentional, it still means that there are chances of them becoming pregnant.
