Modern Cleo

Working on the beach

It’s summer which means it’s time for a holiday. Unfortunately booking a holiday wasn’t much of a priority at the beginning of the year. Work has piled up and if I was to take anytime off I was told in no uncertain terms by my boss that I would have to take my phone and laptop with me.

The company laptop was fine if a little outdated although I’m not complaining. When I asked about how I was going to use the internet whilst I was abroad, my boss looked at me and said that he didn’t care how I was going to gain access as long as I had access. I was a little upset, but he soon apologised and told me not to worry and that we’d figure something out. He then looked like he was having some kind of seizure, but it turned out he’d simply had an idea. Why couldn’t I use my phone to access the internet?

It was a smart phone after all and I had been known to plug it into the laptop at work when our servers went down on occasion. My only concern was the data charges I might receive whilst abroad. I remember reading a piece on the BBC news website last year that has since made me cautious when using the internet abroad. My boss told me not to worry as the company would foot the bill. He’s lucky I’m with a good provider.

So here I am, sitting on a beach in Spain and writing this blog. I hope my boss isn’t reading this, after all I am supposed to be working this afternoon.

Teen Parenting

The advent of the modern lifestyle has made the child today much confident and smarter than earlier. Technology has made them independent and times are more favorable for kids today to live on their own terms.

However, there are many pitfalls of this lifestyle and teen pregnancy is one of them. There are hundreds and thousands of teenagers who are facing this trouble on their own and are infact fending for a moment’s easy breath.

Pregnancy is a challenge for the most seasoned of women and it can get really demanding and cumbersome for a teenager. The troubles for the girl are usually more than they are for the boys. Dealing with one’s own growing up, studies, child birth, a job to support the expenses and the constantly prying eyes of strangers can have many negative effects.

Girls, who have given birth at an early stage of their lives, often are thought off as being of “loose character” and the “sleeping around” variety. It is as if they get branded with printed tins. The feeling that the society gets is that a teen parent is highly irresponsible and not equipped to handle a child on her own. Even if the girl follows a highly qualified child expert, the impression at large is that because age is not on her side, she is likely to be a less responsible and caring parent than a normal aged mother.

Teen fathers are usually not around and even if they are, they soon vanish at the first sight of trouble. Therefore, with little support from all quarters, a girl is left on her own devices to deal with life and the child. New boyfriends and fresh company is not easily available for the teen mom. Relationships with parents often become strained and this only further adds to the misery of the teen mom.

Therefore, it is quite important for teenagers these days to be aware of the repercussions of their decisions, some good and some not so good.
