Life cycle forces
This weeks chapter had a lot of good information human developement. Whether reading about nature vs nurture and how we get our traits and what factors play into it, or biological forces in which we look like our parents or how we choose to live life. There was a part where in the reading talking about life cycle forces and how everyone deals with the situation they are in. I read the example of Jenny a 14 year old girl who got pregnant being obviously too young and the married lady, Jacqui who also was pegnant to catch my attention. Two different senarios with one married and had steady income filled with joy, and to the other who was filled with anxiety as well as some grief over the pregnancy. As it reads timing is everything. I believe everything happens for a reason. I can relate to this situation on pregnancy, I too got pregnant very young and was scared about it. My situation turned out to be not so bad. As the book reads it all depends on how a person deals with each situation. I as some people will say,"you do what you have to do," if it feels right, in my opinion, then it will be ok. It may feel like your world ends but really it is just begining. If I could to do research I would do my study on why do teens have sex so young and is there other factors that key into it, what are they? I would also like to talk with young expecting mothers and help them to deal with all the changes and feelings they may have. I know I wish I had that when it happend to me. I know these organizations are there but nobody seemed to tell me, so I would like to offer any help I could.

I also would be interested in finding out why teens have sex so young. I tend to believe that this issue is more related to the nurture side of things rather then the nature. I think it is a sad situation now days and we spend so much time on sex education on telling them NOT to have sex perhaps we should spend some time figuring out why! I to have found that information is the key to a whole lot of understanding, I think that especially now days there seems to be a lot of programs available to help out teen moms but unfortunately we usually learn of them after the fact. I think like you said its all about making the best of crappy circumstances in life. Some people are made that way and some aren't, knowing what way you tend to react and being prepared is half the battle!!!
