... Only makes you stronger
I found out some terrible news yesterday. Granted, It could be worse. But just the fact that there is no knowledge of the severity is unsettling. Until I finally know exactly what I'm dealing with, it wont be easy trying to stay positive. I'd rather not disclose exactly what I've been diagnosed with. For my own personal reasons, I prefer to keep it to myself. But I will not hesitate to post my views, just with a sort of anonymous undertone, Sorry. Thankfully, it does not effect my relationship like I had suspected. There will be certain things we'll have to deal with, but it doesn't have any hold on our lives or future lives together. Considering I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with my boyfriend, I am at least grateful for the fact that our lives with be semi unscathed. I am trying to keep my head up though, trying to veer my point of view more towards to positive side. Because after all, it's all I've got.
On a whole other subject I am severely agitated by the fact that some people are selfish enough to the point of potentially ruining an unborn child's life. Simply with their ruthless actions to decide to keep a child that, they indeed know, they can't afford nor have the smarts to take care of. I'm not saying, go get an abortion. I'm mostly saying, for the greater cause of saving the child from poverty and neglect, give it up for adoption. Being a woman/man doesn't necessarily mean suck it up and take on the consequences. If you don't have the means or knowledge of motherhood or fatherhood, Don't bother. Not for your sake. Not for your reputations sake. But for this child's sake. There are millions of people who have saved up, who have great jobs, promising futures, that don't have the privilege to give birth to their own child. But thankfully, your mistake can be someone worthy's blessing. I am not saying teen mothers are terrible. And I in no way am bashing them. I'm just saying, a child shouldn't have a child. And if they do, they should immediately assess the situation with proper knowledge and right. They should know that if they don't have the means to raise this child, that the option of adoption is out there. Again, I am not advocating abortion. There are only a select few situations where I, being a woman, think abortion is right. Not using a condom and letting a guy, um... go inside you, is not a circumstance in which I agree abortion is the answer. In that situation, I believe you should carry that child, and, no offense, suffer the consequences. But that does not mean make that child suffer your consequences either. If you know you can't adequately take care of yourself while pregnant, meaning the appropriate foods, vitamins, and doctors care, then you should know that your unborn child is at risk of death, if not serious illness or medical issues when born. Thus, making this child suffer on your behalf. You should at least, if you do chose to give the child up for adoption, or god forbid get an abortion, maintain some sort of sustenance to support your unborn child so that when you DO give it up for adoption, that loving couple can enjoy a healthy child. I am also, in no way, bashing on any women who has to result in welfare. But I know that if given the opportunity , no woman would choose to be on welfare. However, I do have a problem with women who refuse to attempt to better their situation, who do not strive to get off welfare and support their child with their own earned income. There is nothing wrong with a governmental support system, but there is everything wrong with milking the government and your child for all their worth. Also, If you are underage, or even between 18 and whatever yet have the means to adequately support the child, throughout its infancy, childhood, teenage, and even through some adult years, then by all means, get pregnant and enjoy your offspring. But if not, spare this child the possibility that it may be neglected, it may be malnourished, it may be brought up in a broken home... just spare it. Don't think about yourself. Think about them. |
