This is an article about how more and more young mothers have started blogging about their lives, either about their shopping adventures or about looking after their babies.
Blogging is currently the in thing among young adults. Underage sex and pre-marital sex has been topics which have been widely discussed recently and it shows that the people doing them have increased in numbers. Therefore, it may not be such a surprise to see so many young mothers blogging. Through blogs, every one with an internet connection would be able to have a platform to voice out opinions about the world, show the world about their lives or vent their frustrations. In blogs, they're hidden behind this computer screen. Obviously, this would be pretty attractive to the young mothers who would be the 'victims' of some talk by being pregnant at such a young age.

As mentioned in the article, some of the blogs contained very emotional texts and i think after expressing their sorrows through words, they would feel better about their current situation. Although i admire the courage of the young mothers(or single mothers) for posting out their experience as mothers, i do not encourage people using blogs to express what they feel totally. People should talk to each other. If the young mothers are feeling troubled or vexed, they should tell someone else, like their parents, instead of posting it online for the whole world to see and to critisize. If people could only communicate through the net, after being protected or shielded by the computer screen, people would be forming walls between others, even those who may really care for them.
