Making mistakes is apart of growing up and maturing into a adult. When the teen depends on their parent to protect them from making mistakes they will always depend on their parent. Secondly, by the age of 16 I believe teens have made it to the age that in which their parents should allow them to make their own decisions. The age 16 is normally the age in which a teen begins to feel over protected by their parents and is begging for a little freedom. I feel teens should learn to take responsibilities for their actions.
Her husband left early on in Emily’s life and her mother was forced to leave her with friends or send her to day care. “…and I did not know then what I know now- the fatigue of the long day, and the lacerations of group life in the kinds of nurseries that are only parking places for children” (Olsen 707). Emily got nowhere near the amount of attention she needed. Maggie, on the other hand, was always with her mother. Maggie’s mother was also older and better suited to be a mother because she was older and more experienced however, Maggie’s father also left the family.

There are many reasons why teenagers should give their babies up for adoption. If babies are left with teenage mothers, there is a chance that they will be neglected and won’t have a very stable life. If the parent chooses to look after the child, they might not be able to afford it and they might have to drop out of school. Raising a baby is very time consuming and this makes it difficult for the parent to work. Whereas, if the child is adopted the mother can work, get an education and spend time with friends.
I tried going to alternative school while working and pregnant but that did not last but a semester either. I was to worried about what my child’s father was doing that I also quit going to that school. Six months after having my first child I ended up pregnant with my second one. I knew from then that I had no chance of ever going back. So I got married at 17 and started just playing the house wife and mom, till it came to me having to find a job.
Especially when she reminisces in the final stanza about the time she was young and beautiful, illustrating her complete lack of confidence. Nevertheless, she is still presented as a foul character who threatens the reader, with the line ‘Be terrified’. The poem also ends with the line ‘Look at me now’ which has a double entendre (double meaning). It could be read as a cry of despair or, as a threat – if you did look at Medusa you would die! This leaves the reader feeling conflicting emotions for the character, probably similar to how Medusa herself feels in the poem.

Unlike back then it is not the newly married couple’s number one priority to have children right away. Usually the modern couple’s first priority is to buy a house and maybe spend two to three years together and use that time for vacations. If a woman were to have a child before they are married in today’s day and age they are not necessarily frowned upon. Yes they may get a “slap on the wrist” but they are definitely now sent away from society. The way children are raised today is extremely different then the way children were raised in early Western Europe.
