So, how hard is it to have a baby?   Some of my friends have babies.

P2 Crew:  It is difficult to list all of the ways that having a baby can impact you, but consider this; having a baby will impact your social life, emotional health, school, and finances (money).  A baby can’t take care of itself, so it’s going to depend on YOU!  That means the babies needs will have to come first before your own needs, dreams, and goals. 

You can sometimes get help with food, diapers, medical expenses, etc, but do you really want your kid to have to depend on others all their life or would you rather be independent so that you can provide for your kid yourself?

Can’t afford a baby and not looking for baby mama drama?  You may want to Avoid the Risk.

Social

We’ve all heard stories about wild parties. They’re about the bangin’ music, hot girls, and hype dancing all night long. Parties like this often include alcohol, drugs, and sex. What we don’t often hear about are the consequences that often follow these situations. Many people that have sex while under the influence would not have made the same choice if they were sober. Regret, guilt, and worry often creep in and can even lead someone to isolate themself from others, or continue the reckless behavior because they feel that it’s too late to late turn things around.
 

Think About It…
Real friends keep each other’s best interest in mind and hold them accountable to making positive choices. Are you surrounded by a group who is pressuring you positively or negatively? Want to be a good husband or wife someday? Practicing self-control will pay off later in a good marriage relationship. 

Don’t want to put yourself in a situation where you might make a bad choice? You may want to skip the party and Avoid the Risk.
