In truth, teen pregnancy affects entire communities when you consider the economic as well as societal impacts.Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279537046432821889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108306776808685109.post-2876507976403239112008-06-24T08:35:00.000-06:002008-06-24T08:35:00.000-06:00I'll back you on this subject too. My Sissy, who ...I'll back you on this subject too. My Sissy, who is almost three years younger than me, always talked about having a baby early. I thought it was a phase, but then, just after high school she got pregnant. I half-believe that she didn't use a condom on purpose. When I questioned her about it, she gave me the lame excuse that "condoms don't feel good." I really don't care how they feel, you use protection! Now she has a beautiful 6-year-old boy, who I just love to pieces. However, she's now (or always has been) noticing all the "fun" she passed up by having a child so early. I'll just give you two words: alcohol and drugs. It makes me sick and fearful of my nephew's future.<BR/><BR/>These kids (yes, I use the term kids because that's what they are) have NO IDEA what they're getting themselves into.<BR/><BR/>I could go on, but this is your blog topic, and now I'm getting my anxiety worked up. Thanks for posting this.<BR/><BR/>Love!Willow Goldentreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799144000725742806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108306776808685109.post-6517238925898092342008-06-24T00:21:00.000-06:002008-06-24T00:21:00.000-06:00AMEN! Well done and well said!! We have one of t...AMEN! Well done and well said!! We have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates here in the State of Colorado right here in Trinidad. Too many of my children's friends think it is wonderful to have babies having babies. I am truly blessed to have a daughter who is very content to take care of everyone else's babies by babysitting. She has seen her fair share of heartache with her friends who have had to drop out of school or in one case the baby died due to getting caught up in his blankets and smothering. She tells me she will wait until she is older to have any children of her own. She wants to graduate college first and be a pediatric nurse or doctor. Keep on ranting, especially on this subject I will back you 100%.Kristi_Zehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742629542941792030noreply@blogger.com
