Every woman knows at least ten women who had a baby with a man who didn’t want it. Those women, selfish beyond no other, had the children hoping to trap a particular man not realizing they were only setting a trap for themselves. These are women who unfortunately did not learn as children that no means no. Pay Attention - All children should learn this lesson. Once children are able to understand no means no, they are better equipped to handle life’s rejections. It is the lack of being able to handle rejection that causes a person to cling to someone who doesn’t want them. As adults we know a baby will never make a man want a woman yet every year we have young women (and older women) walking around with children whose fathers do not want them. As teachers in the lives of young girls, it is our responsibility to inform them as young as possible over and over again that having unwanted babies will not bring them any closer to a man. There are many young girls walking around miserable and heartsick with children they are incapable of raising because the children are products of fathers who did not want them. By constantly reinforcing into young girls heads rejection does not take away from who they are you plant a seed. And while it may take a few generations for the full effect to be acknowledged, it really doesn’t matter how long it takes as long as it takes. If we don’t break the cycle soon every woman will know at least ten women who have been on television telling the talk show host (and the world) how her Baby’s Daddy won’t acknowledge their child.
