= = = **journal entry 1** = = **Jan.17.12** =

You meet up with your best friend after school and they tell you that they have become pregnant or that they have gotten someone pregnant.

1. What is the first thing that you think you might say to your friend? 2. What options would you say to help that person through this situation? 3. Do you tell another friend and would it start a chain of gossip? 4. Would you stand by that person in whatever they decided to do?

= = = **If i found out my bestfriend was pregnant the first thing i would ask is "D****id you tell him?".If she asked for advice i would be honest and tell her i had none, but i would support her in every way i could. i would never tell anyone that she was pregnant until she was ready for people to know.** = = = =** journal entry 2 **= = **Jan.18.12** = = = Now that you are a parent of an egg baby, everyone in your family wants to see your new baby/babies. 1. What would it be like in your family for one day as you visit your relatives?

a. Entry must be at least 1 paragraph long (at least 5 sentences). Your baby is sick. You have to decide if you or your guardian will stay home and which will go to work or school.

1. Who would win the battle of staying home and watching the baby?

2. If you are the one staying home, how would you get to the doctor’s office while your parents are working? Assuming you can’t drive because you do not have a license and you aren’t of legal age to operate a car or other vehicle

You get up to take your child/children to Six Flags Over Georgia.

1. What friends or relatives are going with you?

2. How does the baby affect your having fun on the rides?

3. How will this change your selection of rides?

==** If me and my child went to six flags i would take my mother because not only could she help me watch it but she could dicipline it if it got out of line. I would indeed have to sacrafice riding some rides and instead go on kitty rides. **==

1. Should a mother give up her job to stay at home to raise her children?

2. Do you think that a mother is a better “stay-at-home” parent than a father?

3. Should mothers always get custody of the children after a divorce or separation?

Why or why not?

==** I dont think ** **that a working mother should give up her job unless she had a partner. If a mother did give uop her job there is no way she could support her child, however a mother is more fit to be a stay-at-home parent than a father because every child has more of a connection to its mother and i beleive this is because for 9 months the baby is withen its mother not father. To me whoever gets a child after a divorce should be based on records,the environment,and the amount of money that would be put in to keep this child alive, although the child should be able to visit the other parent and make a deal of how many days it gets to stay with that parent among the judge**. ==

1. Now that being a parent of an egg is over, do you think that you were a good parent during this project? 2. What were the most troublesome times during the carrying/caring for the egg? 3. IF this was an actual baby, would you be ready for the responsibility? Why or   why not?

==** i do think i was a good parent but if i did have a real child i think i would be a wores parent because of all the stress. I think that the hardest part was walking down the hall and feeling like every persobn was out to get my baby. **==

1. As you live in Northern Jefferson County, you may have come across physical abuse towards children. What could you do and who could you talk to if you had a feeling that abuse was happening to someone in your community?

== **If i had a feeling that someone in my comunity was being abused i would talk to someone that would spot the signs of abuse and take action. Iwould not tell anyone about this but the investigator and my mother.** ==
