In a speech during his campaign, president elect barak obama was trying to defend his views on abortion. He stated that he didn’t want his daughters “punished with a baby.” I’m sure that obama didn’t intend to offend anyone, even though he usually does offend pro life people whenever he opens his mouth about abortion. However, I’m sure that he didn’t mean to offend anyone in the way that he offended me. In fact, he offended anyone who was born out of wedlock, or in and “inconvenient situation”. I was born 10 months before my parents got married, and in these 10 months my mom took care of me while also working full time and taking full time college classes. This was a very inconvenient situation for her. Does that mean that I was a punishment? Yah, I mean, being called a punishment just makes me fell warm and fuzzy all over. I feel absolutely dandy! Really great for my self esteem, you know what I mean? you know, I really don’t show very much appreciation for my mommy. We argue all of the time, which is probably a typical parent-teen relationship. I feel uncomfortable telling her that I love her, but I don’t understand why. I love and appreciate her so much. She made such a strong, difficult decision in keeping me, and, frankly, I’m really glad to be here. She and I have clashed quite a few times, and I admit, she has been very hard on me at times (of course, I don’t help anything by getting angry), but all the same, I can never forget the sacrifices that she made for me. So, I’ll say it now, even though you probably won’t read this…I LOVE YOU, MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good teens~an oxymoron?

ok, so i've been thinking about the jonas brothers a lot. unfortunately. i really hate thinking about them, but i honestly like them a lot. not particularly their music, but they're really cute (especially joe), and more specifically, i truly admire their attitude. i love how they wear the purity rings and are devoted to God and their family. i just get so annoyed by the way that teens are habitually portrayed in tv, books and movies. i admit, there are a lot of bad teens out there, and the number is prolly still increasing. even so...i mean, can't something, somewhere portray at least some teens in a good light? i mean, there IS such a thing as a good teen. i'm a virgin, don't do drugs, drink, and i rarely ever cuss. is this SO unusual that the phrase "good teen" is now an oxymoron? that really angers me. i mean, even if they begin to portray a teen in a good light, there's always something wrong with them. i mean, i'm a normal teen. i'm crazy, odd, and i struggle with the same thoughts and temptations. is it so unusual for people to simply say "no"? i mean, honestly. and it's not even that i'm that good of a kid. i get above average grades, but sometimes, not so great. i swear, i rebel, i say mean things about people, i gossip, i think bad thoughts, etc. i'm not a model teen, but who is? however, is it that difficult for adults to portray some teens in a decent light? why is it that the disney channel is one of the only channels that shows good teens? even so, they shows are awful, and aimed at pre-teens. to make everything even better, these teen stars often don't have the bestest life ever, and the media feeds off of that. so, that's why i like the jonas brothers so much. i mean, obviously, they've made their mistakes, and they have had plenty of girlfriends (but is that really a bad thing?)...but, i mean, at least they try. at least they're making an attempt to be the best gents they can be. i mean, they're not so bad as the rest of us, and they have about a million more temptations. i mean, i feel bad for them.
