No, these young grandparents should not be holding their heads down but how can they hold them up when they failed to prevent their children from making the same immature mistake? As stated in an earlier post, these young grandparents are probably (I have no stats to back me up!) less educated and lower income. How is having 3 generations dependent on society something to be proud about? How many of these young grandparents are in college or encouraging their teenagers to go as well? I don't see anything to be proud about!

When I was in high school, around 10th grade this boy that was 16 had one year old boy and his mother was 14 when she had him. Then there was a girl who was in the same grade as my neighbor she got pregnant at 13. So it's not all that unusual, but why shouldn't people try to take pride and make a bad situation possibly good. Maybe by stating that they are 28 year old grandparents, will help some women or child think about that children are having sex and a way to prevent it.
