And what is probably as scary as these teens lives changing, as you said, is the possibility that given their current lives, they believe this (pregnancy) is a good, achievable, goal; but that college and waiting for kids is somehow either a, negative, or b, so far from possible that its not even a consideration.Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-80341267295801512182008-06-23T08:51:00.000-04:002008-06-23T08:51:00.000-04:00The media will twist the facts to make a story mor...The media will twist the facts to make a story more interesting. That's why I don't have a subscription to my local paper. <BR/><BR/>The story does make me sad. There are 17 girls who have no idea how much their lives will be changed. They've lost their childhood.<BR/><BR/>Btw, I really liked Juno. I liked how she felt about the adopted Mom.Chrisbookaramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972547663609480210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-88871445261767843112008-06-22T01:14:00.000-04:002008-06-22T01:14:00.000-04:00This Glouscester High School teen pregnancy pact s...This Glouscester High School teen pregnancy pact sure sounds like your typical "self-destructive" behavior seen by young people as a society becomes more of a social state and less is expected of them by society. These kids all know that the government will pay for all the costs of their pregnancies and their baby's care till the babies grow up at age 18. You see, these kids really don't see any consequences to having a baby. Call it a tragedy, but I live in New Orleans, and very few pregnant mothers get married down here (even when they live with the father) because they'll lose their government benefits. The liberals WANT a dependent citizenry so they just give out the checks. No questions asked. If you don't believe me, then ask ANYONE from New Orleans about the "baby mama scam!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-73676170692564375962008-06-21T23:14:00.000-04:002008-06-21T23:14:00.000-04:00Right on.
