    African Americans were enslaved long before the American revolution by Europeans and still are today within Africa. Slavery should always be remembered just as civil rights should be celebrated. But still think that everyday people are losing their rights and being forced into labor against their will. Issues that are dead in our country are still being practiced all over the world.

    I also had a child at 19 and completely lost the shape I had when I was a teenager. I am 23 now and very much over it. I spent a long time with no self esteem and horrible depression. With the help of a little therpy and awesome friends I overcame it. I did this by eating somewhat heathy (I learned dieting is really hard with a kid and full time job) and just making an effort to be active. I don't belong to a gym or work out everyday but I try not to be lazy. Also I went back to college which has made me feel so much better about myself. While I am no longer a size 7 I feel attractive and smart. I know that I have a lot to offer. And when I come upon people wrapped up in looks and things I just blow them away with my views on politics or art whatever the topic is for the moment then make a joke of it(sense of humor is good). So I guess my solution would be stay active (walk where ever you can and play with your kid all the time) stay smart (when looks fade that's all you will have left) and also surround yourself with positive people. Your weight and height are not bad and nobody should be making you feel that way. Being a mom is hard work be happy you are doing it because you know your child loves you no matter what size you are.
