when i was in labor with my first child(at age 30), there was all sorts of screaming going on down the hall-"make it stop....i don't want to have this baby anymore.....etc". when my physician came in to check on me, i asked him what all the fracus was. he said,"just another baby, having a baby. if they only realized what they were getting themselves into when they became sexually active. now that she is in labor, she doesn't want to give birth. she is 14" i could hear the nurse saying," it's going to come whether you want it to or not, you need to just suck it up and do what we are telling you to do." they were not being cruel-this girl had been carrying on like this for at least an hour.

i gathered at the time that she needed to push, and she was not pushing, but was pitching a fit.

maybe if they took impressionable young girls into the labor and delivery rooms, they might prevent a few pregnancies.

teenagers see celebrities having babies out of wedlock, and think that it is the fashionable thing to do. they do not understand that these celebrity women have boucoup bucks and can hire nannies and nurses to care for the baby, run errands, cook, clean and answer the phone. celebs can hire trainers and nutritionists to help them get their prepregnancy body back. girls are being presented an unrealistic example of how a tiny minority can afford to have a baby and still live the life they did pre-baby.

Gilmore Girls

To piggyback on what FSUZeta said, it's not just celebrities-- it's in on our popular sitcomes. Not to bash the Gilmore Girls (lord knows I love it) but look at the plot. A girl gets pregnant; she runs away from her family; is now best friends with her ivy-league daugher and runs her own business all on her own. I suppose it helps having millionaire parents (even though they don't have a good relationship, enforcing that 16 year olds can do this without a problem).
