Parenting & Pregnancy > Pregnancy How to cope with a high-risk pregnancy: 1 of 8

A year ago I was pregnant with my second child, now seven months old. This pregnancy was full of complications galore, was anything but fun and had it been my first, it would have been my last. I found out I was pregnant with my second child a week after my oldest had her first birthday. Like many Americans, I had no medical...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: The decision to homeschool: 13 of 43

You would think with all the advancements in technology that today's American children would be more knowledgeable than their counterparts from 20-30 years ago. They know how to use the disk defragmenter to compact the hard drive, thus they must know more, right? That is very, very wrong. What today's kids do not know is ast...
Parenting & Pregnancy > Fertility & Infertility Issues Why birth control and pregnancy health care are not fairly accessible in the US: 1 of 1

Why are there not birth control options for all women? Why is it the only women who can get birth control are women who can afford to have insurance and/or are married?

Books open new ideas, thoughts, and vocabulary to a child at any age. When a parent first reads to their child they are babies and it begins a love affair with books and knowledge.

Politics, News & Issues > US News School shootings are becoming an American dilemma: 5 of 8

This is becoming an American dilemma, partially because of the American media. There are too many news. There's the local news on the local channels, then there are the 24 hour, all news, all the time, such as CNN, Fox News and Court TV. Lets examine the people are doing the school shooting. Usually its a young man, about 19...
Health & Fitness > Autism Can vaccines cause autism?: 6 of 9

Twenty years ago, the number of children's vaccinations has doubled. In that time, the number of children diagnosed with Autism has also risen.

Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary The rise and fall of Britney Spears: 19 of 28

I admit I am not the biggest fan of Britney Spear's music. It's just not my cup of tea. Honestly, the only reason I'm discussing her is because of her idiotic way of living. Anymore, all you ever here on the news, mainstream and entertainment-only, is Britney Spears, Brittney Spears, and oh yes, Britney Spears. Other celebri...

What can a woman give to the man who made her a mother and himself a father? What gift could a wife give to her husband that's greater than the gift of baring him a child or children? Well, speaking from a woman's perspective, there isn't, but you can still give your husband a great gift nonetheless. Buying a Father's Day pr...
Jobs & Careers > Online Jobs (Other) Work at home scams: Workers beware: 11 of 15

It amazes me that in the 21st century there are not more work from home jobs that are actual jobs and not scams. With all the modern technology now available, it seems like this would be an obvious for the modern age. Unfortunately the modern has also brought along a devious set of individuals and/or companies that wish to p...
