My cousin De Shante’ received some devastating news today. She learned that she had a little life growing inside of her fifteen year old body. As she listened to the doctor, she watched her freedom walk right out the door.
For the rest of her life she will be enslaved to the responsibilities of motherhood. She is now left to mourn her carefree teenage years.
Hello is what she will say to the overwhelming task of raising a child in her youth. She has no idea of the expense of motherhood. Swiftly flying away, are her dreams of going off to college with her peers.
The media serves our children hot dishes of temptation daily through the music they listen to, the movies they watch, magazines they read, even the video games they play.
All these media sources are within reaching distance of children and shape their minds. A message of immediate gratification is emphasized daily. Unfortunately, many teenagers act on what they see and hear, and suffer the grave consequences of making bad decisions influenced by media.
