Some poems I write are from my own experiences. Other poetry comes from people sharing their life experiences with me. This poem is a combination of the two.
I think it’s truly unfortunate, that a lot of our young people (male & female) are in situations where their parents have not educated them on the virtues of abstinence. There is nothing wrong with NOT following the crowd and avoiding sex until you reach a responsible age. I know quite a few single mothers and they almost always have the same story. No father in the picture. The younger generation seems to have this fascination with the “rough neck” type of guy, with the baggy pants and the nasty attitude. Well I say you get what you ask for. I think the young men need to start thinking about their futures now and cleans up their act. The women need to make better choices in a man because if you PLAN on having a child with someone, you need to make sure you are hooking up with someone whose future goes beyond the corner of the block or the cell block.

Do you remember when the 1st day of school rolled around? Well I do and I was scared. I was the kind of parent that I refused to go to work until my child/children could walk and talk. I wanted them to be able to tell me if someone did something to them. On that 1st day of school I cried, but I knew that this was something that had to happen. I think when the school day was over I think I was the 1st parent their to pick up her children. I remember asking them all kinds of questions. Such as did anyone touch you? Did anyone hit you? I don’t think I felt comfortable leaving my children for at least the first 3 months. Please tell me of some of your experiences?
Danny, very good article. Keep up the good work!
How did you handle to toddler years? Especially the terrible 2’s. I recall wanting to pull my hair out on several occassions. Tell me of some of your experiences.
If I could rewind my life I believe I would have waited. Don’t get me wrong I don’t regret my children in any way I just would have done things a lot different. I would have graduated from high school, started my career, became established with a nice home, gotten married and saved some money. At this time my children are 23, 22, & 15. I have 3 grandchildren ages 3, 2, & 1. If anything what would you do different? Please respond…
My children’s father was around every step of the way. He was killed in 2005 at that time my children were 18 & 16. I do know a lot of teen mother’s that were left alone to raise the child/children. I know that the guy may be scared but he was somewhere in the mix and should step up to the plate for support. When a female is pregnant she will take any kind of positive support she can get.
When I told my mother she was upset because I had a bright future ahead of me. When we told his mother her first reaction was abortion but my mother informed her that for the $1500.00 it would cost that money could be used to buy baby things and that she wasn’t putting me through that type of serious situation because being that far gone I would have to give birth to a dead baby.
