Teen Moms/Parents

A sterotypes that I often hear that teenage girls will get pregnant at a young age. This stereotype is mostly the Hispanic and Latino community. I myself being Mexican I hear it a lot and it really makes me mad. My mom got pregnant at age 16 with my older sister cristal. She gave birth to her a week after her 17th birthday. A year later she had gotten pregnant with my sister karen. By the age of 19 she had already has two kids. The other day I read this thing that said "Young girls who's mother had them young are more likely to have kids at a young age as well ". What is that suppose to mean to me? I have two older sisters and their already in their 20s and they don't have kids and their actually going to collage. Which then makes me think that isn't always true about everyone. Maybe teenage girls wouldn't be getting pregnant if people aren't always throwing negative things towards them about getting pregnant. There are so many ways to prevent teen pregnancy.So why don't do that? I know this may sound weird but when I grow I wanna I think I would actually give my child boy or girl condoms to protect themselves.I mean I'm not asking them to actually do it but I'm just saying I rather have my child use protection than get pregnant or get someone pregnant or get and STD.Although I wouldn't be one of those parents who are mortified of their children and their actions . We can prevent teen pregnancy and we should.But we also shouldn't criticize others.







                               

"Little girls with dreams become woman with visions"

   But on the bright side I found my quincernera dress. A quincernera is a celebration that Hispanics's/Latinos throwing in celebration of their daughter becoming a woman when she turns fifteen. It something really important in my family I think almost everyone in my family has had a quince. I think I'm gonna really enjoy having the party but the most fun thing for me is actually planning it. Of course my mom and sisters will support me and make a few suggestion since they all has a quince. But what might be the most difficult is the part where I have to learn a couple of dances so perform infront of everyone of course you don't have to do a lot of dances but it's the most traditional. The most significant dances are the father daughter dance and the crowing ceremony along with the giving of the last doll. The quincernera receives their last doll because their not a little girl anymore. But to me the most important thing about the party is the dress. Ever since I was a little girl I've dreamed about what dress I wanted to have and what color it would be. It honestly seem so unreal that the time has finially come to start planning and everything it feels just yesterday I was ten years old and now I'm fourteen.

                                       

Life is Beautiful

     The movie uses the same information that I already knew.The beginning was a bit confusing to me though.But once they were put onto the trains it started making more sense on what was actually happening.Joshua was put onto the train even though he was blonde with blue eyes which really confused me.But later on I began to understand why certain things happened.An event that was similar was when the kids were murdered that was one of the connections I made.Woman and children were tricked into that they were going to take a shower when really they were going into the gas chambers.Although one the beginning of the movie really confused me I couldn't really connect it to anything I had learned. While watching the movie I didn't really gain any new knowledge because most of the things I already had learned.
    I noticed that Joshua's mom was very serious and quite.While he father was goofy and like to play with Joshua.An example of this was when he invented the whole idea of playing a game because he didn't want Joshua to know what really was happening.When Joshua and his father were put on the trains his mom wanted to go also with them.At first the guard said no because the train was already leaving but she wouldn't take no for an answer.She stood very firm and had a very serious tone.During the movie the mom looked very vulnerable. Thought the movie I could really tell when it was serious but I enjoyed that it had a bit of humor because it made it seem as life was really beautiful even when your suffering.
     Through the movie "Life is beautiful" had a bit of humor to it which I really enjoyed. Joshua's father made it seem to his son that nothing bad was happening that everything was fine. The way that he did that was by saying that everything was just a game and that the gran prize was a tank. I personally think that the humor really made life beautiful because really bad things can be happening but at the same time there's away of being positive and not being so negative.Everything that Joshua's father did for him to secure that he would stay alive really shows that he loves him a lot.When you have people that love and care for you life is really seen beautiful and great.Those are two ways I though that showed life is beautiful.
