I'm 16 and I hope I'm not pregnant

I'm sure you guys are familiar with MTV's show 16& Pregnant. It first aired in 2008-2009ish. This show goes through the lives of teenagers who end up in an unfortunate predicament, teenage pregnancy. As all shows aired on MTV, season one isn't the last we heard from 16& Pregnant. I just finished watching the finale of season 2, and I only have one word. WOW. Was it just me or were all the guys in this season true d-bags? It's hard to believe that all guys act recklessly and just don't care about the over-burdened teen moms that they once used to call their girlfriends. All I hope is that not all guys are like that. Way to pick the worst couples MTV.

And this leads to another question...who the hell casts these guys for the show?! Notice how they're families of white background. Once in a blue moon, we throw in a Hispanic couple. Notice how none of the families are brown...and we all can guess at why this is...now I'm not making the assumption that brown people don't have unprotected sex and don't end up being pregnant. I'm just saying that they're not stupid enough to be documented about it on live tv. So as we learn from the good teachings of 16 & Pregnant, never have unprotected sex kids...and if you do, well then...there's always plan b.

Impressions

First impressions are undoubtedly very important. I mean, I find myself in a career where I need to go into the classroom with confidence and a glowing attitude or else my students will walk all over me and take advantage.

That is the first impression I want to be able to depict to my students right from the get-go. Because let’s be honest, I still feel like a little girl (thank you petite-ness). Any important situation whether we’re at an interview, at a party or meeting our work team, the first impressions are so important and most of the times spot-on. Of course, you shouldn’t just judge someone on their first impression if it wasn’t the best, give them that benefit of the doubt. One feels more comfortable judging after they get to know someone.

Thank you for the lesson

  A long time ago I came across some words of wisdom which explained the importance of forgiveness. At that stage in my life, I was completely anti forgiveness. I still understand why, and though I’d like to say my views on said topic have changed, I’d be slightly lying. I’m very good at blocking things out of my life, that’s how I cope. But every once in a blue moon, you get an unnecessary, by chance reminder. And it kinda takes you to mental head space you had kept far away. A few (many) words that I want to say to my past self; “You knew better. How could you allow it time after time? You wasted your time investing energy and effort into a dead end. Feels dumb doesn’t it? Everything that was said, was said to break you, all excuses, immaturity and white noise. Realize it and understand. Not everyone you meet will have good intentions and true sentiments. Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apologies you’ve never gotten. Don’t free the criminal from the crime, just f...
