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.

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.
