Shyla Henry September 11‚ 2012 Becoming a Teenage Mother I never thought having unprotected sex would lead to a teen pregnancy. However‚ I was wrong.

Mother Knows Best There is a quote that says‚ “Mothers are angels who teach their children to fly.” Indeed mothers are angels‚ even though we often think that mothers were meant to torture us especially in our adolescent years when we would rather go out with friends instead of washing the dishes or doing our homework‚ our mothers nevertheless become our pillar‚ not just of faith but also of strength.
