A teenage mom has been praised for taking her toddler as her date to the school prom. Melissa Mccabe, now 16, became pregnant at 14 and gave birth to Arthur in November 2020. Mccabe, who lives in Tranmere, England, describes her 1-year-old son as her "little blessing" and wanted him to be part of her prom. "When prom came around, no one could really have him and I wanted him to be a part of my prom day. I ordered him a suit and took him with me. All of the teachers were saying how gorgeous he looked," Mccabe told The Liverpool Echo. She said it was amazing to bring him along and get good pictures of them together. "We don’t really have any nice up-to-date pictures of us. He loved it and he particularly loved all the snacks!” she said.

Have you ever asked your child to do something simple but no matter how many times you ask, they keep ignoring you? 

For example, on a school morning you may call out, “Sarah, put your shoes on. We have to go!” as you are trying to finish an email, clean up breakfast dishes and make it to work on time yourself. 

You get no answer and no signs of shoe wearing. So you repeat it, this time a little louder and then again. You finally get a frustrated response from your child: “but I can’t find my shoes!”. And so...

Empowering Resilience Through Fairness and Inclusion. As an educator and advocate for arts education, I've seen firsthand the importance of nurturing resilience and a sense of fairness in our children. The debate around how best to foster these qualities often centers on hard work, but it’s crucial to recognize that resilience involves much more than just effort. True resilience also requires a fair and supportive environment that provides equal opportunities for all children, regardless of their background or appearance.

Riho Maruyama and her husband got married freshman year. By senior year she was pregnant. Their friends helped raise their daughter.

I had a baby during my senior year of college. My friends helped raise my daughter so I could graduate and continue working.

Once I had my daughter, I was inundated with sexist and eye-roll-worthy comments about how hard girls can be to raise. They’re more expensive. They’re moody. They’re just plain difficult. Before my daughter could walk or talk, there were so many preconceived notions about who she was or what kind of person she would turn out to be.

In Indianapolis, Indiana, Sylvia Marie Likens — a young 16-year-old girl — died a brutal death on October 26, 1965, after experiencing weeks of torture and abuse. When the police found her malnourished body at the Baniszewski house, it was bearing numerous injuries from burns to cuts and bruises. Worst of all, the words, “I’m a prostitute and proud of it,” were carved on her abdomen like a brand. The young girl had been living as a boarder under Gertrude Baniszewski’s care, a single mother of seven, who convinced the parents of the Likens that she’d look after their two girls — Sylvia and Jenny — in her care for $20 a week while they traveled for work.
