16 yrs ago I became a teenage mother.I came from a normal middle class family. My parents were great role models, and I was aware of birth control ect..None of it could be blamed on anyone but myself and my partner.Sadly, he turned into a statistic. A so called dead beat dad. My life turned out rather well. I am happily married, a mother of four. I am not what usually happens! I am lucky to have had the support of a loving family, and a great husband. Many girls really do (as I did)think that their boy friend will be around pleeaassee do not belive them!I really wish the world would stop blaming tv ,upbringing, ect. These girls are aware, but I wish they would stop being fooled!

Girls need strong father role models in the home. Sadly, they are disappearing from our society. There are many reasons for this shocking pregnancy trend but absent fathers don’t help the situation.

The guys are never going to have to accept any responsibility and it is the woman’s decision!
Until men have babies it must be a woman’s choice.

Teenagers are more likely to finish what middle school? There are programs out there to assist single teen moms with babies at home so they can finish high school, but statistically this is not the norm. You have a child at 16 years of age and you are very lucky to finish high school and you can forget the whole college experience. You will be scraping the bottom of the bowl for the rest of your life struggling to stay afloat and probably on government assistance.
This is the reality and this is what our teens need to her-THE TRUTH!

The government has to step in when parents are not doing their job as teenage pregnancy then becomes society’s burden.

Teenagers are not ready to be parents and its time that parents of teenagers parent and educate about birth control.

Actually, teens who get pregnant are more likely to finish school.
Really, f you're going to get pregnant as a teen, it's a new age. I'm not advocating it, but it happens.
If we're going to call it an accident, isn't a child the best accident that can happen? A new life?

And I agree with GG. A law? What laws oculd there be? Punishing girls who get pregnant, guys who impregnate them?

Why dont we let the government be the government and let parents PARENT.
