I realize that everything we've ever been taught in life has reinforced the thoughts, values and morals that make us who we are. I was on myspace, and this woman who is four years older then me, i just clicked unto her page to view what she was like. Some people have a tendency to do that to other people's pages to see if they are able to either become friend with that person or just to see what they put out there. Well as i was viewing her page i saw that she was a party girl and i don't knock her for doing as she pleases she's a woman and she can do whatever makes her happy, but as i started scrolling down the page i read her status and it said proud parent. So i went into her photo album to see what she was all about and as i viewed her photos all i could see was this woman or rather girl, because there is a way to carry yourself as a woman, she was practically getting sexed on the dancefloor, drinking liquor like a dude and just taking pictures with her pregnant stomach at these parties as if that was the life to live and the thing to do. Like i said before i don't knock anyone's lifestyle but its like your supposed to be a mother mind you this is what you portray to your social circle and this is who you are as far as any man concerns an easy lay. This is who this woman is, as far as the internet is concerned but its like you have a child and this is who you are? So when a man comes up to her one day and just approaches her due to the image that she has put out there and responds to the actions portrayed by her "motherly character" what can she say then?
Van Hunt said it best "Where is your character?"
I'm only 20 years of age and there are just somethings i won't put on the internet or won't put out there due to the fact that one, its my personal life is at stake and two, i know better not to put something outrageous out in the open to be questioned about. Not to say that im innocent but i know my limitations and my boundaries. My morals and values call me to act better hence the term common sense. There are times when i know better but this is just blatant disrespect of self. Worst case scenario: if i were pregnant and that were me, I have wayyyyyyy more at stake now, i have my life, my child's life, the father of the child's life, the family's life, my education, my position as far as financial needs are concerned, my reputation of self would definitely have to change. I couldn't live knowing that my mother or my father we're taking care of a responsibility that was mine to begin with, when i took the chance in committing myself in the act of sex with someone knowing the full on consequences of this played out scenario.
Like i said there is way to carry yourself as a woman but it all depends what you define as womanhood.
Society supports this behavior in which a person should act reckless and enjoy their youth until they fall into a mistake and this is when they must collect themselves and this is the time in which they should be ridiculed for their behavior, this is the time in which society must point the finger of shame. Why??? It makes nooo sense. What happened to the instruction in which a person needs to survive, what happened to the principle and standards in which a child should be given ahead of time so that if they do fall into this sort of mistake they have full on knowledge knowing they've done wrong and can gradually bounce back into common sense. It seems unfair but hey when society is offering the glitz and glams of what life should be like, its like hey i want that too and i want to do that too. It seems so innocent at first but then you get wrapped up into it and then before you know it your in that position, the point of no return and with that lack of knowledge you really don't know how to bounce back and you really don't know what to do except move with the wave of the crowd.
In the book of Proverbs in the third chapter it says:
My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight;
In the book of Eccleciastes in the fouth chapter it says:
Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take warning.
and lastly one again in the book of Proverbs the sixth chapter it says:
For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life,
Take that into consideration what image you put out there regardless if its the internet or whatever or wherever you are. First impressions are the lasting ones.
