(Topic: Teen Pregnancy)
So I thought it was about time I posted a blog about the JT. Unfortunately you all missed my many confusions and changes about what I was going to research but that's ok, and it's my fault for not posting. Oops.
Right now I'm trying to figure out how to write an introduction. I have a pretty good start on some research, although I'd like a lot more. But I have time for that...I think? There is a lot of articles out there about abstinence programs and it's own history but I need more than just that. I have gathered a lot of information of types of sex education, some about media influences, and ideas about parenting and peer pressure. I've also been looking into religion it's not as convincing in my opinion.
For the media section I really want to watch something like "16 & Pregnant" or "Teen Mom". There are so many shows out there about pregnant teenagers. There is also "The Secret Life of the American Teenager". But since I don't watch any of these shows regularly I wouldn't know where to start so I'm holding off on that for right now. There is also the movie "Juno" and the lifetime movie "Pregnancy Pact" which I wanted to use for peer pressure as well.
Also. For a potential interview I found a woman named Nicole Lynn Lewis in my CQ Researcher Article. She is a former teen mother and advocates for the cause. She also wrote a memoir about her struggles. A book called Glori. I feel she would be great because of her personal background and willingness to talk about the topic. However, she lives in Maryland.
**Project 365 Edition: Freshman Year in College. Starting 8/20/2011**
This blog was originally a blog devoted to a great high school class of mine, but I've decided to transform it into a Project 365 blog (a photo blog where you post a picture everyday for a year). I fell in love with the layout of crayons and cuteness (and wasn't savvy enough to redo it) that I'm just staying here! My teachers may very well still get notifications when I post, but whatever. If so, hi Bolos and O'Connor! :P Feel free to un-link yourself if you get bored/annoyed of me...
I'm not sure how keeping up with the daily posts will work for me (especially seeing my track record of weekly posts in that class) but I thought it would be a neat idea to at least get a feeling of the first year of college, of freshman year. Making new friends, new habits, and living a new life. Also apparently being corny as hell. Maybe this new life can include actually posting each day. Probably not. Let's cross our fingers for me?
