Answer 1

They have laps in judgments because they were not taught self respect or self reliance.

People dont want to raise their kids anymore. Everyone is too free spirited and too busy so instead they let them do what they want and when its no longer convenient they get a Ritalin prescription.

And then they wonder why there are more women living in poverty then men.  This isnt an accident, its because they made stupid choices and its biting them right in the *** when the go to the real world.  Then I make good decisions and become successful in life and as a result I get penalized with more taxes, thus I have to pay for Their foul judgment with access cards and section A. Unbelievable!

Its called the forgotten generation. I think that's an understatement

Answer 2

all you really need is one person to corrupt the minds of many.  its too bad that the real victims here are the babies who are being born to mothers who are children themselves.

Answer 3

You mean that article in Time's magazine in particular? I read that. It was alarming. As a fourteen year old girl myself, I can't imagine myself or any of my friends having a child; and we're responsible compared to some of the kids who would.

But I don't think there's much we can do to change it. Birth control, abstinence, whatever. People will do what they want.

Answer 4

I just read that news article. That's crazy! The ones I feel most sorry for is the babies to be born. They won't have much of a chance for a good life, being born for a pact! Those girls are stupid....what kind of parents will they make if they are dumb enough to get pregnant because of "peer pressure"? What will they tell their daughters in 14 years when THEY are asking hard questions about s*x? "Ummm...well I did it as an agreement with my friends, but you shouldn't..."?

Plus, who is paying for these babies? The US taxpayers and the girls' parents. Why do you and I have to pay for this? No one paid for my babies to be born, because I had a job. This giving away money needs to stop. Especially because these girls are showing us that you can simply get pregnant and the government will support you. Don't name the daddy on the birth certificate, and he doesn't have to pay one red cent! The nice working Americans will pick up the tab.

Answer 5

girls were probably getting pregnant at YOUNGER ages in less liberal societies.

Don't you think.

Answer 6

Yeah it's sad. Did you hear about the story where there are 17 girls in one school under 16 years old are all pregnant! Half admitted to starting a pact to get pregnant and raise there kids together! One of the fathers is a 24 yr old homeless man! How messed up is that. Parents need to keep a closer eye on their kids and raise them to respect themselves.

Answer 7

Yeah, that is dumb. People just get pregannt becuase sometimes it is just fun to them but it really isnt. You or anybody else should be pregant by the age 24 or younger.
