Well, my mother was a teenager in the late 60s, early 70s and she saw it then. Sex ed is a mixed bag in England...sometimes I felt I learnt more from my teen mags than school.

I really don't care about Maury Povich and who's my baby's daddy today because I'm 12 years old and I wanna be a teenager...

My concern comes in when kids are having sex without a condom and the risk of HIV/AIDS starts being a factor among many other issues.

And Gardisil takes 3 injections spaced out...

So these little girls, because that's what they are when they fcukin' do these things, practically ruin their lives for some facade fairytale that doesn't exist in this reality.

And the tax paying society has to pay for that crap...

You wanna see breakdown, one look a Britney Spears bald-headed psychoses tells you homegirl is having post-partum...

Raging hormones are abound in teens. What makes us think that the post-partum psychosis would not be different?

That's why it is unhealthy for extremely young women to be pregnant and have children.

But hayle, I have anscestors and cousins that were pregnant at 12... :(

I'll be 28 in 3 weeks and their is NO WAY IN HELL I could imagine raising a teenager right now!

Plus, just thinking about I know my life wouldn't be the same. I'd probably still be working on my undergrad, not starting my second masters.

Add to the list: "The baby's daddy is going to be in the NBA/NFL/Pro something or other/Rapper/etc so I'm going to ensure I have some money and never have to work."

I've had at least two girls tell me that to my face...not even counting other stories from other teachers.

Well, since a baby IS an accessory, I want mine to be Coach.

This is a topic that comes up every couple of months on another forum that I post on. Apparently teens that get pregnant (out of wedlock) in England receive something known as a “council house.” Basically if you think American Taxpayers get screwed over on teen pregnancy lets just say that European welfare programs defiantly go above and beyond.

Thanks. So she saw it "happen" or was it happening in large percentages back then?

I don't believe the percentages were as high, but she said she used to walk home from school and pass a home for unwed mothers where there would be about 15-16 babies in the house at anytime.

Oh wow! I just saw this thread and had the opportunity to view that video. I was sitting here with jaw to the dang floor. If my daughter ever got that out of hand, I'm afraid I might kill her from beating her down. :(

Oh hell naw! What happened to "I brought you into this world, and I will take your ass out!"?
Sorry this is the parent's fault for not putting them in check from the get go!
