[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2020612, member: 1242"] soonersfan, I do believe you hit the nail on the head. I had my first child when I was 24, college-degreed, out of my parents' home and working and supporting myself. I cannot imagine being under 20, no high school diploma let alone no college degree, and finding myself pregnant. The comments have been made in other threads here about girls who just have baby after baby to stay in the welfare system. I can completely understand some girls feeling like they have no other choice than to do just that. However, that choice comes with a horrible emotional toll -- one these girls are not equipped to handle at all. And I don't even know what to say about the boys. All I know is my boys were taught from day one that if they didn't want to be saying "do you want fries with that" to pay some girl child support for a baby they really weren't ready for they had best be keeping little Dick close to home ... However, I've seen some people talking about how proud they were that their boy was getting his wild oats sown and out of the way early ... I used to think my grandpa was over-reacting when he bemoaned the state of this country. Now I sound just like him -- only our problems seem to be much, much worse ... or maybe it just seems that way because what used to be "grown up" problems are now the problems of children who should still be trying to figure out what to wear to prom -- not how to buy another can of formula when pay day is still way too far off ... :( [/QUOTE]
