Most studies show that teen pregnancy is a difficult experience that any teen can go through. It can create a very emotional crisis which can result in feeling ashamed and also show a lot of fear; these actions can come out when it is time to tell your parents or your partner that your life is going to change in the next nine months. The statistics show that teen birth rates in the United States have declined over the past few years. Rates among African American's has gone down also and they have generally gone down for a few Caucasian teenagers and Hispanics.
According to adorption.com, over 75 percent of teen births are to unmarried couples. In 2010 the reports show that the birth rate for the ages 15-19 ranged from a high of 409,840 infants born.
Through all of this can a couple still last? Can their romance still be there? From my experience with some of my friends I noticed, their relationship working and growning I see them happier than ever, for some of them who are without a significant other they are playing both roles. Will they be able to find romance?
As we watch the shows Teen Mom and 16& Pregnant we look at these teens and we see that their romance level go from good to bad in a matter of months or even days. Why is that?
My co worker Theresa stated , "that she feels that Teen Pregnancy can change a relationship for some people just because they get overwhelmed with a lot of stress and they really don’t know how to balance having a baby and keeping their relationship alive”.
I say try to keep the balance between the two, try to go out every now and then to that special candlelight dinner , the walk in the park, or to that movie that you always wanted to see just for you can feel that everything is normal again.

To be a fashionista or not be a fashionista that is the question....
Can a Fashionista be a person that is devoted to fashion and labels? Can a fashionista just work in fashion? Can a fashionista be a male or female?
A REAL fashionista does not believe in trends if so that person would be labeled as a fashion whore or a shallow bitch. In today's urban society, "fashionista" is considered not be a negative term but when we look at most shows such as Sex and The City we look at characters like Carrie Bradshaw and we see that being a fashionista has been modernized into a much more positive, powerful and successful role.
Fashionista's look at fashion as a work of art, they feel that they can tell a story through their wardrobe. In our minds we think that fashionista's only work in fashion, but in reality there are some very stylish fashionista's that work in retail, libraries, and schools and even in some government offices. Society says that most females are the ones who hold the crown and the title of being the fashionista's, America has changed so much that females have to share that spotlight with our homosexual males. Is that wrong? Fashion for me isn't about the labels it is about how well you can put things together. When you try to be stylish you can sometimes overdue it and can fail tremendously.
Do some people think that style is a gift? Can you be taught how to be a fashionista? These are the questions that we will probably not know the answers to just because everyone has their own opinion. Trying to maintain a certain style cannot be taught and it can be a task within itself. So basically if you are a fashionista try to stay true to yourself no matter if you are a female or a homosexual, no matter if you work in a big tall government office building try not to be swayed by the labels if you love or like something I say go out and buy it and if you get stereotyped for being a fashionista I say turn around and tell people to kiss your fashionista ass........

Growning out of friendships are like a new pair of Jimmy Cho's...
Friendship is define as an interpersonal relationship that is considered to be closer then associaton. Most people look for values in a friendship. Values that are in a friendships can range from many things such as sympathy, honesty, trust, mutural understanding and compassion, enjoyment in one's company and the tendency to desire what's best for the other. With honesty being one of the friendship values that most people lack, I believe it is because people are afraid to speak or tell the truth espcially when it comes to pointing out another friend's faults.
In the past couple of months I can say that I have been through the biggest test of friendships, that I have never encounter before. The grade that I received on this test would have to be a bad one. I found myself losing friends instead of expanding the friendships that I already had. Like the old saying goes You Live and Learn, and I can honesty say that I am learning more then ever. So to explain the title of this post it bascially means that us as humans can grow out of things very often and friendships happens to be one of them ,so instead of trying to replace a friend we decide to go shopping and replace that friend with a good pair of expensive shoes which could be your first pair of fashionable Jimmy Cho's.........
