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.

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.

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.

However the girls on Maury who are like I WANT A BABY SO I CAN DRESS HIM IN CUTE CLOTHES AND I'LL PROSTITUTE TO GET ONE!!! freak me out.

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!
