Helicopter parent

When people think of their mothers some think of memories, traits, or even looks. When I think about my mom I think about her work ethic, her love for family, and her constant support. My mom is one of the hardest working people I know. She never gives up and would always tell my siblings and me to do the same. One memory I have of her is all the many times she would be up late sitting in the dim glow of her laptop working on her masters degree. It took her 2 long years and many late nights…

seriously/permanently injured. Mothers who raise children at a young age are also more likely to be harsher with their child when dealing with punishments, mostly because of staying up late at night to care for a screaming baby. This can lead to the parent being more apt to spank their child. Finances also play a huge role in physical problems babies go through while having an adolescent mother. Many times the father will leave the mother alone to raise the child. If the mother has no other…

pregnancy look fun/easy, glamorous and not life changing is nothing but deceiving. “Mom I’m pregnant!” are the worst words that should make any mother happy—when the time is right—to hear their daughter(s) say.

Seeing the shows on television; for example, “16 and Pregnant”, have made being a teen mother look fun and easy. These young girls want a—live—baby doll to…

One rainy day, as a young girl I woke up to go to school, I kindly asked my mother to walk me to school but my busy mother could not manage to do so. Regardless of my mother not walking me to school; I did not hesitate to go to school. I took all my belongings and took off, the friends that always waited for me had already left so I had to go alone. If only my mother just realized that giving me just little of her time, and walked me to school would not have impacted my life the way it did, she…

little brother instead of a little sister. Then, there was a change in the sleeping arrangements in the house for me. During this change in my life, I had to learn not only to share my toys or space; I had to learn how to share the love of both my parents. Finally, I learned to take care of Chanse as another human being, my little brother with the help of my…

Growing up I faced many hardships. My parents divorced when I was thirteen years old. The most difficult adversity I have faced in my life has not ended yet. I thought as I got older I wouldn’t care so much, but from time to time I wonder what my family would be like if my parents were still together today. I miss the family vacations and times we laughed just because. I looked up to my older brother and sister for being able to cope with the divorce. After my parents divorced, I lived with my…

of growing up in a close family, I have learned the importance of being a wonderful parent, evolving myself throughout the community, and cherishing myself more. Growing up in a real close family were there was two parents involved was awesome. My mom was and still is in the National Guard, were she is serving her country proudly. I have not experienced much heartbreaks because I had the epitome of two parents. Family time was mandatory and my sisters and I will cherish, gracious memories to…

Every Child Deserves Love. I believe every child deserves to know what it’s like to have parents who love and believe in them. I believe everyone should have a FAMILY who supports them and builds them up. I believe we all have the duty to stand up for someone and make them feel loved if their family isn’t doing that. I grew up very protected, my siblings and I were taught to treat others the way we wanted to be treated. We were punished for making fun of each other or people around us. We were…
