A senior this year there was 8 of us dont live together there is a 3 bedroom house there was a lot of trouble when the economy hit and everything my parents both they both had lost their jobs it was kind of hard for us to even like. My life even though im still free and reduced lunch now. And always have much my little brother house. And there was. My sophomore year and i was 15. I was on a journey with r. B. C. And coming back. From there i just started noticing that i was feeling different all of a sudden like youre either believe or youre pregnant and i was like i dont think im bullying big like i had all the time like well i bunch of pregnancy tests and i was like what. Kind of like that are and so i go the pregnancy test and they came out positive. My mom told me what any other parent would say to their kid just going to be fine were going to get through this no matter what happened. What am i going to do how am i going to finish school how am i going to do any of this that all. Just. Terrified out of my mind. It turns out that any us right now and an awful lot of children are being born to parents and parents who are not married to each other that is a bad 50 percent of the births amongst the youngest generation in other words about half of the brothers and the youngest generation are babies born outside of marriage to typically quite young parents we have been on over the years by careful studies the kids who are from families generally get less education than. In themselves. They also. Think kids who come from married couple faith. More of our kids will be with their very purpose in lives for their whole childhood with their married parents that also huge difference theyll do better in school will be more likely will college and even though they might compositions magically over the last 4 decades more kids are in School Families who are kids. So i think americans are going to figure this out Single Parents alone have high stress levels stigma because it gets them because theyre Single Parents. As teenagers we have these adult so we feel like were adults but were very. Since were still children or way our emotions go up and down and. Kids are making these very tough decisions with friends and peer groups and theyre making a lot of decisions around relationships and who theyre voting with their intimacy with those people and its just this kind of like these tough things like. A lot of kids in poverty. I never thought i would. Ever play because i was i am i still am. I do so much charity work so Much Community service or everyone at school is like the Spring Business you the smart one. Good one from our family is a shiva church girl i never thought this would happen. You dont think from one night. Its going to pop out 9 months later you just think oh i have it once youre going to 5. And a half. And know what you see the picture blew your whole world just. Turned upside down. And when you talk about participating in risky behavior whether were talking about having sex doing drugs drinking watching pornography whatever it is getting involved in social media. Becoming really addicted to whatever device it is that youre using if were talking about any of those risks to be i think its important to consider. The outcomes of those that its important to consider that were not living for just this month we have a child dont. Really think about the cost that it takes to be a parent the cost in time the cost and finances and i would encourage you to wait until youre married before you have kids. What fills me is when i see all the academics or rock. All lazy finally. Feeling when you put all their hard work in their academics. And then they get pregnant with their. And then like literally take 3 steps back and i think its because theres a. New intelligence. About like relationships and the strategy. As an emotional. Im always been a daddys girl i would go to him for everything. And. Youre going to. Completely. We as a society have lied to you weve been dishonest. Because what we have said. Is that you can behave any way that you choose you can make any decision or choice that you want to make whatever you feel this this day you can make those kinds of decisions and we will do the best that we can to alleviate the consequence but the fact is we cannot alleviate the consequences it is true that you make your own decisions you can choose any of these paths that you want to choose but we are being dishonest to you when we say we can help you avoid consequences there are consequences for the choices that you make having sex outside of marriage is not going to fill the void that youre trying to fill it only creates more and more of a vast open. Debate within you because you are opening yourself in the most mourner of a way to another human being who is in no way committed to and his whose actions are really out of selfishness unlikely and a desire to meet a need that day. The day i had him i started getting ready i started getting pain and then by the time i got there they told me it was too late for me to get. Im just bawling my eyes out of like i dont know what to do ive never done this and whenever he got there. I was scared the 1st time i change just. Like i care to change the diaper it will finish but what do you mean you cant just type of like i can do the i am 15 or i can do this i cannot support for him i cannot just call work and raise a child im fearing at this precious little boy mile at me and im thinking i cant do that at all. Only thing going through my head it was i cannot do that. If you find yourself pregnant at 15 there is no easy option for you you can choose to have an abortion and that is not an easy option it leaves damage for the rest of your life for you and for your family. Having a child at 15 leeds all kinds of issues because now youre not just a Typical High School kid youre responsible for another human being youre going to have to find a way to bring in candy youre going to have to tend to a sick baby in the middle of the night when you have homework and you have to get up early and go to class yourself and then your other option would be to place your baby for adoption which is the most difficult decision ive ever seen a young person it is a wonderful choice and it is often the best choice for that child but it is heart wrenching and extremely difficult so once you find yourself in an unplanned pregnancy we cant take away those consequences and you now have very difficult decisions to me. So i have my little brother you. Will be about 3. 00 to 1. 00 and for. Me wake up at 6 in the morning around 7 and i will wake up my little brother and mother around 720 i will get matthew ready for my sisters at 730 take my little brother the 730 i get to school and im racing im rushing to get there i get out of school i want 30 and were going to work out and get off or i. Play with matthew for the 30 minutes but i have and then i go and whenever i get my 30 minute lunch break do the same thing go to my Sisters Health and spend time with then go back and then i get off before. I go to put them both before you after i put them both. 1030 and i. Dont want to. Always be polite never engage with a negative a good or confrontational officer. Dont get into any conversation or start answering questions just ask for an attorney. To survive in the territories. Definitely dont want to be going to trial in the jumpsuit one culps. Youre more likely to walk free if youre rich. Or if youre poor and. Youve got 2 eyes and 2 ears and one mouth. So you should be seen in here and a whole lot more than youre saying if you dont take that advice easy going to dig yourself a hole. At this point no one knows when the cold crisis will abate however it is undeniable that this whole crisis does negatively impact the economy what does it mean to return to normal is that even. It will the divide separating the rich from the 4 continue to update. The. So what i would say to a 15 year old is. I apologize that you have convinced me. That you are right but you are right you are incapable. Because i dont know of any of those things that. I believe that you have purpose i believe that greatness is only. Bring value into other peoples lives and youll bring value to the lot and the child you can choose to him but its not going to do and when you have failed and it is now our job to come alongside of and support to enable you to make better choices go. My my. Watch matthew the 1st here that i have and i want to tell their. Thank you mom i love you i appreciate you and what you were. Ok before she shows her love differently. You were showing her love by watching him. Taking care of me making sure i had a good on my head. She told me for the 1st time i know i never tell you this often but im so proud of you you have a baby you are working youre going to form not only that youre getting she told me that i was a fighter if it and if. Youre a strong woman fighting. For me to get a message from her saying im proud of you and everything they are complex and everything thats re doing for me was the best prez i could ever get this is what i have been working for him he years to get us some for im proud of. Theres a group of villagers working the fields by river when someone in the group noticed a baby floated downstream. One of the men rushed into the water rescued the baby and brought it to shore before he could recover a number of babies were found floating downstream for a long theres a steady flow of babies floating down the river and the whole village was involved in the rescue effort pulling babies out of the water and making sure they were made safe but not all of them could be. Some are pulled under by the raging river rather slipped through the villagers hands while others fell back into the water as the villagers tried to save them. The villagers were saving as many babies is they could. Before long the medium and sauce to from all their effort. Frustrated controversy erupted in the image one group argued that every possible hand was needed downstream to help rescue the babies they didnt have everyones help they would lose too many downstream. The other group argued that every possible hand was needed upstream to get find out how the babies were getting into the water you could save all of them in a limb an ape the need for the costly and time consuming efforts downstream. To find out how these babies are falling into the river in the 1st place we can stop this and no more babies will drown if we go upstream we can eliminate the cause of the problem. But its too risky some said might fail or take too long we will lose too many lives. We owe it to the ones weve lost and our future children to fix the problem upstream and save one else calling them to their. Advantage from a separate water fountains used in texas well how much. Ok but was different about the water. Coming out of it found. The other mountain that was the bowl in the. Other grew up more real than most of the. People from completely. All that life. Based on. Well. You know there are 2 ways to address poverty one is to try to prevent it from ever occurring in the 1st place and the 2nd is if it does occur to a 1000000 or a you know provide people with assistance with child care with out thing that has to be but. You have to help those who are in need now and you have to help those. In order to do both you have to not only work downstream but you know the circumstances that got us where we are are unique and so our approach every person and every family and poverty needs to be as unique as that person in that family and thats difficult to do and its a little overwhelming to think about but people are different its interesting looking back historically on what weve done to address poverty in the United States its mostly been to provide people with assistance of various kinds and those things are needed i think we should not leave people destitute and without such assistance but theres not a lot of evidence that those things are going to move people out of poverty except temporarily i dont think americans are in favor of simply redistributing income what they want is to provide everyone an opportunity to get ahead on their own we believe in equality of opportunity not equality of result. I went to a conference once the conference was an opportunity conference where we invited 74 families from our community and hope to just allow a pathway to cycle out of poverty majority of the people and this conference where generational poverty so they came in and they heard from doc. Biegel are her story and were encouraged it was 6 hour program and she would say how many of you know what it is to have a disconnect notice how many of you know what it is to receive an eviction notice and before long arms were coming up and she allowed them to see that if i can do it you can too we all have hope with us sometimes just gets buried so i had the opportunity to visibly see hope rise to the surface of 74 people and thats not something that you can contain we knew you cant contain hope i left this place with hope and im going to tell everybody about it i want them to know what i know and im going to succeed because people came in the room they didnt know me and i matter i wasnt born. I am hard. Right im no longer in this isolation where im irrelevant or i have to walk around and lead with this label of shame little by little the hope starts to take that label off and when people come into place youre able to replace that label with words of worth instead of allowing that person to feel. We all are the same when it comes to what our basic needs are and what our basic desires are and i think if we really think about what we have in common with one another thats where we can start to create a basis of understanding a person saying im not going to judge you im not going to criticize you im not going to do you value your lived experience because its different than my you say to the other human being what ever. Dream youve ever had is still possible. When i was growing. There were. There were completely. Kids that were trying really hard to make good choices. There. But most of us were somewhere in this gray area where were trying to get our toes as close as we can with. Their way. To get. What. Is that there are more kids off the rails. There are very few. There are of young people who are committed who are strong who are focused who want to make. Are making and. That is my hope for the next generation. Comes from the stories that we hope. You can do. Were going to stand by were going to help you get 3 days after the power to turn the ship and. Good decision after that. One of the bigger. To introduce 24. Things that were going to take you to places that you can understand what you do today is going to play more interest that anything youre playing a game thats bigger than yourself. Or your familys name or your kids that dont even exist yet for your grandkids benefit. Not all poverty is preventable but we know certainly that based on research and the research that were using for our programs some of that can be preventable we want to help them we want to help the Community Around us nats what were trying to rally our Community Around and support a lot of times when i work with people who currently live in the crisis of poverty feel so im not smart enough to get a skilled not smart enough to go to college to ask for help you got to ask for help in poverty shoot dont ask for help. Thats the wrong message. Nobody makes it alone absolutely no one we have to Work Together we have to overlap with other organizations we have to be community biting was the key is allowing hope and we cant allow hope we cant communicate hope we can allow worth until theres a relationship if we can spark a movement that not only helps those who are in the river but also gives them the tools to help their kids in their kids kids not be in the river thats the movement we want when we reach out to people across. These barriers of poverty barriers of political opinions. We can really find some unique treasures in people who are different from months and find out that theyre not so different after all.
