Battered & Abused Women

I have heard many cases in which men have physically, verbally, and mentally abused women. In my opinion, no man should ever place his hands on another woman. In fact he should never put his hands on any one. Despite the fact that woman can and sometimes do abuse men, statistics have shown that men are the ones who mainly abuse their parteners or spouses. When men physically abuse women, they do such things as push them down stairs, hit, punch, or kick them. Some people may think that verball abuse is not that bad or it is not as bad as physical abuse, but in reality, verbal abuse can be just as harmful as physical abuse. When men are verbally abuse, they call their spouse or partners names. Some signs of abuse are:
1. You are belittled by your partner
2. Your partner humiliates you in front of company
3. You feel afraid of your partner
4. Critisize you/ Makes you feel worthless
5. Believe you deserve to be hurt or tormented
6. Harms you in any way, shape, or form

No one deserves to be abused. If you feel you are a victim of abuse get help!

Teen Pregnancy

There are many issues that face teens today. One of these is teen pregnancy. Recently, I have come across an article that speaks about an eleven year old who delivered a baby. Whe we normally read of teen pregnanacies, we think of girls between the ages of 15 and 19. However, this was not the case. The young lady who delivered the baby will have some growing up to do very quickly. At the age of eleven, a person is unable to obtain a job. With this being said, the girl is not able to support herself, let alone a newborn baby. Many people may think taking care of baby is fairly easy and inexpensive. In reality, diapers are costly, and so are other necessities like doctor's visits, and clothes. CLothes of course, are expensive because we all know that babies can grow really fast. Everyone makes mistake, but the mistake this young lady made can possibly ruin her future plans. To see the article about the eleven year old girl who delivered a baby Click Here

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
