Parenting & Hygiene: From Teen Trials To Fresh Starts

If I could make a two post response for the prompts given, I would have done that because I want to share my thought in them as they are very much what I've witnessed and experienced. So I figured the next okay option is to share my thoughts on both prompts in one post. Don't mind my title, it's the best weird way to combine both so let's just get on what matters, my thought hehe.

As much as we hate it happening and no matter how much lesson is given to prevent it, many teens still make the bad choices to get involved in immoral activities and are forced to become expecting mothers. While there are some that the blame goes to the parents for their teenager's behavior, there are many teenagers today who were brought up as properly as possible but still failed to carry on what they are taught.

Many times, I've always thought the odds are against the female teenagers but still, they don't seem to learn that it is the case for them. Teen girls should always be reminded what happens when they become expecting mothers much earlier than they dream or plan for. Even without the help of parents or guidance, they must have seen what others are going through because of their bad choices and learn from them.

If my teen daughter gets pregnant while waiting for admission, what would I do?

There is no point in shouting because it has happened already but I'll definitely remind her of my previous warning words and if possible give all the worst instances that could happen with her present situation, including death. Scaring her more on her bad choices should help her brain reboot on what she has done to herself so wrongly.

I'm not in for a marriage because pregnancy happened whether the guy responsible accepts the pregnancy or not. Instead, I'll hope the admission pushes through so she can continue with her school while struggling with the pregnancy until she's due for birth. It's her cross to carry and I can only assist as the mother. She would have to be among those who school while training her own child, hopefully the finances would be available.

Smelling nice is an important part of body care that I find fun doing. I've been trained to prioritize how I may smell among people no matter how busy or broke I am. Taking good number of baths, using good skin and hair products, perfumes and deodorants are a few actions I have made a routine to make sure of a fresh start everyday.

How people don't take this seriously and don't care about how they smell is still a bother to me. I've had bad experiences of terrible smells coming from people's body, mouth and even hair. One time, I had to hold my nose with my handkerchief for the person to get it, it was unbearable.

I do have a very sensitive smell sense but I still find it hard to point it out to anyone except very close that they smell badly, it's embarrassing really. One of the ways I've made peace with to reduce the bad smells around me is gift items for good smells. I remember gifting a friend deodorant and perfume, she has been smiling nice since then by buying for herself once it finishes.

There are instances I can't do anything about them but walk away or block my nose from breathing, so uncomfortable. Those times are mostly in public places like tramosort vehicles, bank queue or crowded places. If only the whole world would have a smell of nice flowers, I've always thought that whenever I smell a bad odour.
