my new idea

ok, warning


some might find this post offensive


you have been warned



ok, here is my new argument



TEENAGE PREGNANCY:

so i dont think teen pregnancy is a problem.

(i am the daughter of a "pregnant teen" and a former teacher of lots of teen moms)

nope. teen pregnancy is not the problem.



Palin's daughter has been getting a bad rad for her pregnancy. But Jamie Spears is praised? What??



Teen pregnancy is NOT the problem.

In most of the world, a girl under 20 is perfectly capable of carrying, birthing, and raising a child. Historically the same has been true in our own country.

I will not for a second believe that something is genetically different with girls in the USA that makes them incapable mothers if they are nineteen and under.



sorry


teen pregnancy is not the problem.





the problem is irresponsible sex.



i dont care if the woman is 16 or 36- unmarried sex is the problem. I know many 16 year olds who have made fine mothers and many 36 year olds whose lifestyle is so wild that they are unsure of the baby's fathers name.

seriously, why all the beef over someone who is 17 who is pregnant and marrying the baby's father.


nope.

a teenager is capable of taking on the responsibility for a child. with a social support structure, the mom and the child can make it. i did.

we must change our mindset that AGE makes mothers capable.

no, responsibility does.

the problem isnt getting pregnant before some magic number age, the problem is irresponsible sex.



the baby is not the problem.
