Hello old friend

I feel so bad that I have ignored my blog for so long. like many things it fell to the side while life went on. I have been working on my book. I have changed the angle and I think that it will work much better this way. I was going to make a memoir and two small books. But I had an Epiphany to combine them. short and sweet and to the point. since I have a large target audience , in mind I need to direct the dialogue to a number of people . I primarily focus on young adult. See when your writing a book you have to pick a target audience. because it is an uplifting conversation to teen parents I try and direct it as though I am speaking to them. FUN FACT: In fact a famous writer once told me to write as though you are talking to one specific person or group . not an entire audience. It comes out less stiff and more free flowing. A better ,lighter read. My new angle is top secret until further progress. however I can say that it is an idea that is uncommon. My goal is also to enlighten all people young and old alike. To give them not just a grasp of reality but that well, young people have a hard enough time without all the stigma and b.s that society places upon them. Teen pregnancy is not ideal.... I would hate to be cliche and say if life gives you lemons make lemonade. But in a way that is what I am trying to say. some people might try and stir up controversy stating that I am delirious That I am ignoring the struggles. That is far from it. It is hard, I should know that was me. That this disease that is plaguing our nation. Is a pandemic that needs to be annihilated. I agree I would say to all teen don't get pregnant. Not until your older and financially stable. education and your career comes first. don't let your hormones dictate your future. while history tells that young women have been birthing children for centuries. People are under the assumption that creation is this new idea that crazy teens are coming across. Sex e.d is crucial though some laws and states are asking for this education to be cut. That will lead to a higher amount of teen parents. The eduction is so very important. In my research most teens didn't use proper protection. They were not educated on the subject properly. Others ,and a large number I might add, felt invincible. that something like that could not happen to them. Maybe denial , or the belief that sheer will power was strong enough, or that their young bodies were old enough to calculate ovulation, or even strong influence from the male partner. whom in most cases is as much in the dark about facts as the female partner. But once it has all happened. and there is a life growing you have options. depending on your state some may be limited. option one is abortion. in some states requires a parental consent. adoption, and keeping the child. baring in mind that all these options are difficult and life altering. In most cases you have to deal with the anger and disappointment that comes from parents and others. But my book centers on what happens after conception and mostly after the choice. if you chose to keep the child and raise it. That's were the subject I am writing comes in. It takes you through the storms and shows you how strong you now are for with standing the such forces. so in other words drink your lemonade and read the book. (when it is done of course) I do not promote a difficult life or teen sex. i just believe in helping those in need. and not bashing them when they are down. pounding them repeatedly with facts and statistics and retelling of their 'failures and mistakes." that doesn't take them back in time. and it sure as hell doesn't make them better parents. help , love and understanding is what is needed now.
