Come on, girls who aren't even able to use contraceptive means have no clue about social welfare.

"Some families have taught their offspring for generations how to be nothing more than parasites" is the standard argument of right wingers claiming that these bastards of poor people are just lazy people living at their expense. This cliché runs for a while, especially among the people who have no idea of what is the life of the ones living with minimal resources. Of course, the behaviour you describes happens, but it is much more an exception than the rule.

Mrs Atkins told the Sunday Mercury: "I don't care what people say about me. I blame the schools - sex education for young girls should be better." Well as she doesn't care I can happily say the hospital should have made her infertile at birth, because she obviously has no understanding or capability towards being a mother. I feel so sorry for her children, and I wish for their sakes their children had never been born because as mothers they have already been led far down the wrong road. Lambeth (London) - 104.9 pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15-17 Blackpool - 80.3 pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15-17 Nottingham - 73.5 pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15-17 etc... That's 10% - and those statistics would ignore the 12 and 14 year olds from that news article. What is the common factor for all those areas? They are all areas with social and economic deprivation. The same levels of education work elsewhere, the difference is elsewhere the parents support the schools. Do you want to know what's happening in the areas were previously high rates are falling? Health care workers - state funded, sorry Stan - are talking to the target girls and boys and explaining the concept of responsibility to them. There is no magical school syllabus this woman's kids were denied, the state simply went out and gave the kids what they should have been taught from birth at home: responsibility, rules and respect. A novel concept I know! "He was my first love but now I'm gutted because he doesn't want to have anything to do with me or T-Jay." Assuming he didn't run away after you named the poor future state liability, what did you fucking expect? You were 14 when you got pregnant. I'm assuming the father was out of primary school himself? Not all men are like that but he isn't a man and if he's sleeping around the neighbourhood at 14 then you aren't going to get any loyalty. "Ooohhh but he was my first love." That's why you wait. Sometimes it will work out bust most of the time it won't. If the whole world ran around marrying everyone as soon as they fell in love we'd all have the divorce rates of the U.S. Sex education for young girls is perfectly adequate - they just need to look around them. If they can honestly say they don't understand how they can get pregnant while at the same having sex with council estate boys then they have far bigger problems IMO. Kids are developing more quickly with each generation - this problem is only going to get worse.

FWIW, i have a reasonably good idea of what it takes to live with minimal resources. It often isn't much fun. But it's no excuse for abject stupidity. I will accept no opinion hinting that it takes a high level of education to figure out that if you neglect your kids to spend your Gov't cheque on meth, you're gonna quickly lose both. And your kids are gonna grow up fucked.

It is all about social factors and very little to do with education. In high school I learnt all about the biology. In Biology class we even got to watch a condom being applied to a test tube, and other fun activities, which taught us fuck all anything about making decisions. I learnt more about the reasons I'm not a father today from my Religious Education classes than I did in Science. The only difference I have seen is that my parents, friends and local community all supported what the schools were doing, whereas nine times out of ten the parents of teenage mothers and fathers: a) have no idea what the schools teach, despite claiming they don't do enough, b) offer no at-home support to their children's education, and sometimes c) don't see anything wrong with what their kids are doing. The grandparents at 25 mentioned above are a case in hand. Many parents will try and raise their children to avoid the problems and perceived bad things about their own upbringing - it's what good parents are meant to do - but others will claim that whilst doing everything they can to force their children into their own mould. Living their own lives through their children. You can spot the problem families a mile off but what can we legally or morally do about it? Not a lot. They have as much right to be alive as anyone else which is the problem. Even bad parents love their children.

Excuse me Brian, but BS. When a kid becomes pregnant, this indicates a serious problem, either in the education or a psychological distress (abuses excepted). Claiming that the State is responsible for teenage pregnancies is having the same discourse than the mother of these poor 3 girls: it is being irresponsible.
Stade Toulousain, European Champions for the third time - Allez le Stade!
Fold with us!All I'm saying is there is a problem with kids not being taught to take responsibility for their actions or to consider consequences before they act. I didn't place blame anywhere (except maybe on the children). Having said that, I don't think all children are capable* of learning how to make informed responsible decisions. Some people don't learn to do that when they are adults. Basically, it's an issue that will remain an issue for a long time. Nothing the state can provide will protect individuals from making stupid decisions, though it might be able to make situations appear more palatable to those not directly involved. * By capable, I don't mean they have some fundemental deficiency, but that they haven't the experience or maturity yet to make good decisions.

Or they simply "disappear" for a year, sent off to a special school for unwed mothers where they continue school separated from society for 9+ months and return the following school year, and no one speaks about what happened... ever. Lots of things happen when you first say "it never happens here" because you have to prove it never happens by changing the rules. For the Southwest, that particular school for such girls is outside of dallas. The children are automatically given up for adoption, no choice to the girl, as it would destroy the reputation of the town when they return. I don't know the right solution, but a lot gets hidden in the communities that cannot admit that this occurs, and that isn't all together healthy either. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
