But seee...it's as you said...any WORKING female. Any female that is providing an income to a household that she is running...Presumably a working person doing more than 20 hours a week...that vs a teenager still living under her parents' roof.

A few things to keep in mind


- Is used for job security has nothing to do with securing your education. You decide to take time off from something that is mostly 'free' in this country (high school) that is on you.

- Not to mention is used if the employer has a certain amount of employees and the ones that qualify have to have been working there for at least a year.

so essentially it's almost no reason to grant that for a teen when they have plenty of opportunities to make that time up...again there is the option of summer school or night school...there are plenty of people out there who had kids very early in life and found a way to do it (make up for lost time) so why should the bar be lowered any further to allow this generation of soft crybabies to do it?

You made your bed...sleep in it and be responsible...life isn't about getting it easy (easier either) ...everytime you lay there and the 2 of you agree to allow the penis to enter the vagina, one has to consider how much change your life will go thru with each stroke.


And on that note....

Good night all.
Oh, I think I love you. <3

It is the job of the state to educate, and the right belongs to each child in that state. And we all know that with rights come responsibilities. Ok, so you make a stupid, hormonal decision and end up preggers. It is your responsibility to make use of your right to an education. If you can't keep up, then you should withdraw until the next year and take your classes again. That is, if your education means that much to you.

I had a friend in college who got pregnant. She was an ok student, but when she found out she was pregnant, she really got her butt in gear. For the last three semesters of college (pregnant, having the baby, and then taking care of the baby), she made the President's List. Why? She said it was because she was getting her degree come hell or high water. She learned to organize, maximize her time, and get things done. I think if the pregnant teens felt that way, they'd do anything they could to get things done ON THEIR OWN, not trying to get more time to "bond" or "heal" or whatever, and certainly not advocating for care that I as a taxpayer would have to cover. Get a grip.

But I still think that some repercussions should fall to the father, as well. I don't know how that would work... I don't think the schools could not let them register, but if they could, that would be great.

One thing about your college friend....note too that people tend to dig a little harder when it's something they are paying for *wink*

Not to downplay it or anything like that...matter of fact BIG kudos because a lot of people tend to put that on hold.

But high schoolers in most cases don't really have a lot of finanical responsibilities, thus that's probably a part of why this came up...public education is free...you are free to drop in and out as much as the system will alow...but I bet that if you had to pay for it and make it worth what you are paying for...that whole attitude would change.
