Teen Pregnancy

Okay let me start off with a disclaimer, I’m not trying to offend anyone or change anyone’s views on this topic, I am purely trying to show my opinion. This is a difficult subject and everyone has their opinion, but does your opinion give you the right to destroy someone’s self-esteem. My friend is 17 and yes, she just discovered that she is pregnant, I have to agree with the fact that if I wasn’t her friend I would be looking at it differently, but I am her friend and I hate that people are trying to make her feel bad for what has happened. It’s not her fault she was as safe as she could possibly be, it’s just by pure chance that this has happened, yes she’s young and this could have happened at a better time, but for how young she is she is acting really mature about it. In my opinion the reason people disagree so much with teen pregnancies is because of what they see in the media, or how they see teen parents acting with their children, and I agree, I have seen some terrible teen parents, but that doesn’t mean that every teen parent is going to end up that way, My friend and her boyfriend are acting truly mature about the whole thing, he now has a full time job and they are both in the process of looking for a home close to both of their parents, this has truly made them grow up. Yes I agree that not all teen relationships work out either but for the present time they are both very much in love, and have been for the past five years of high school, and they have been through a lot more than most teen relationships should go through. I believe that people should not judge a teen parent because of their age, but maybe because of how mature they act about the situation, Please consider this before you give those teen parents, those bad looks in the supermarket.

Intro to Aussie Girl

I'm Aussie Girl, I know a lame name, but what's the point of giving you my real name? When all you’re coming to this blog for, is for my perspective on issues. I guess you’re wondering what I’m going to talk about on this blog, well anything you want an Aussies perspective on. Such as do Australians actually ride kangaroos to school, I want to say yes, just to see how many people believe me. What makes people think this is true, I don’t know. But would you approach an animal, that has the claws to rip open your stomach, I know I’m not going to try that, I'm not saying kangaroos just jump up to you and start attacking you, no, like all creatures they have to be provoked, but they are dangerous. Even more so when you’re driving, when driving home last night, there was a big buck kangaroo (a male kangaroo) on the side of the road, I slowed down once I saw him, and for good reasons, he jumped right out in front of me, and had I been driving at full speed and not have been able to stop in time, I would have hit him, and before everyone starts freaking out about animal cruelty, etc. I would have been the one hurt, my car would have folded in on me, and the kangaroo, would have jumped off, just fine. So yes, Australians do come into contact with Kangaroos, and yes people do get hurt, and so do Kangaroos, but No, we do not ride them to school, because they are dangerous and shouldn’t be kept as a pet. I wouldn’t even approach a Kangaroo in the wild, a zoo, yes, if the zookeeper said that it was okay. But even then I would be careful, also I want to clarify, I'm talking about a Kangaroo, not a wallaby. I can't think of much else on this topic, so now it’s my turn for questions, Please send me any questions you have about Australia, or any questions that you just want an Australians perspective on email me at aussiegirl761@gmail.com ,I hope you liked this blog and I hope you look forward to reading more :)
