 I
have a prejudice against teenage mothers who continue to
have kids, depend on the Welfare system and do not return to
school.
Having been a teenage mother and knowing and seeing how easy
it could be to depend on Welfare, I think it's wrong of
teenage girls to not do anything positive about their
future.By staying in school and going on to College, teenage
girls can take charge of their life and provide more
opportunities to their children.Having gone through a
teenage pregnancy and relying on Welfare, I saw how easy it
could be to depend on this system for life. I get angry when
I see a young teenage mother with 2-3 kids, and living on
Welfare and not planning for her or her children's future. I
think that this person is not having their kids' best
interest in mind.It's frustrating for me to see this
situation, especially having been through it, because I know
how much easy life will be for the teenager if she goes back
to school.
