"my mum is a light sleeper, so she awakens easily to noises I make, so it's hard to steal things from her room (joking, people) (seriously), and also it's easy to wake her up. However, as easy as it is to wake her up, it's very hard to keep her that state, because although it's easy to awaken her. it's impossibly hard for her to stay in that conscious state. so to keep her awake, I usually scream or give her some sort of shock to scare her and get her heart pumping blood in to her brain. one of my favourite ways to do this goes something along these lines:
me: (shakes mum gently) hey mum, wake up, wake up!
mum: (sleepily) hmm, what?
me: I got a girl pregnant.
mum: (shoots up out of bed) WHAT WHO WHEN?!?!?!?!
true story. and i've done it a few times, too.
she reacts this way, of course, because of if I made a girl pregnant, she'd first of all kill me, then burn me, then kill me again. and then maybe chop me up into little pieces and feed me to her dogs. as most responsible mums would presume to do. and for that i am glad to have a responsible mother like her. because teenage pregnancy is no laughing matter, if you are a participant, for want of a better word, or not.
look at your television. good. now turn it on and look at it again. flip to any western channel and look for a drama. take, for instance, glee. quinn is pregnant, and this of course adds to the drama of the show (because that's what a television drama is all about: the drama). that's all and well when we're watching it from the comfort of our home, without having to worry about the consequences of the pregnancy. i'm just wondering if this is why we're looking at it (teenage pregnancy) with not as critical an eye as we should.
think about it; really think about it. the sex is fun (come on, i'm not going to lie to you. i mean, i haven't done it before, but really, who doesn't want to? shut up, at least i'm being honest), but is it worth it? first of all, there's the shame. this is more for the girls, because guys don't have to endure growing a fetus inside of them, showing a rounder tummy to the world. second comes the shame. third comes the shame. that's a lot of shame,folks. you have to think about how you're going to raise the baby (because you cant consider an abortion; that makes you as good as a murderer), how you're going to pay for it's upbringing while you're studying, which hospital you're going to deliver him/her in, and the list goes on.
it's a big headache, a stupendous amount of stress, and a big shun from the eyes to the public. especially in our 'strict' society, if you're 17 years f age walking around with a huge belly (and not because you eat KFC everyday), people will most definitely shoot u a dirty looks and whisper in to ears of their friends, who will definitely nod purposefully. remember the movie Juno? that was a good movie, focusing on an American teenage girl who gave birth, and the events that lead up to that moment. again, i will say, it's stupendous amount of stress.
besides, sex is important. you shouldn't just throw your virginity around. save it for marriage. it's the best gift you can i've your future spouse. if you disagree, okay, fine. go get your headaches. be called cheap. get shunned. throw up every morning. and if you're a guy.... well... hey.
be a man. do the right thing."- teen spirit!
