When I was interviewing the person who wants to remain Anonymous she felt very proud of the situation she’s in. She’s going to be a teen mother and is going to go through a lot but when you talk to her she seems proud and she’s not embarrassed of her situation.
I feel proud that she feels that way and I did look up marijuana and birth defect and there where none that I found. I found this to be highly interesting.
