		<description><![CDATA[Andrea@- Yes, parents have a ton of fault.  But when the kids spend 7-8 hours in school, with a liberal agenda that teaches kids that parents are stupid and don&#039;t know anything, it&#039;s hard as a parent to make an impression for 2-3 hours in the evening. I can tell my kids to save sex for marriage all I want, then they will go to school and learn how to put a condom on a banana. Today a little lower, tomorrow we&#039;ll have even lower standards.
How can I take responsability for the state of this country when I told my kids that homosexuality is wrong and they see their agenda promoted everywhere? How can I do that when I say to my kids that killing is wrong, but you see murderers walking free and praised? What more can I do?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Pink Eyes and all who agree with him:
I was trying to find info on these girls and found your site. I was surprised to find yet another person who feels that withholding contraceptives will save teens from pre-marital sex. That is simply not true.
As was pointed out by Is that so?, teen pregnancy and pre-marital sex is NOT a new phenomen. It didn&#039;t begin with people who lacked morals, nor did it begin with people who had access to birth control. It began with people who were not informed about their own bodies and the consequences of sexual activity (and not just meaning babies or STDs).
My problem with your opinion is that the school or the governement is doing something wrong. THE PARENTS ARE. When a child&#039;s parents are not continually involved in their child&#039;s life, they are giving that child permission to do whatever it is they please without consequence (and then when schools, police, etc become involved, they then teach the child, inadvertently, that it is the GOVT&#039;s problem). The PARENTS should teach their chidren about their bodies, puberty, sex AND relationships, and if the PARENTS want their child to be safe, AFTER informing them about the possibe results of sexual activity, then the PARENTS can provide any type of birth control they see fit.
I didn&#039;t have sex in high school. Condoms were readily available. And so was sex ed, to fill in the gap that our parents left. Please stop blaming everyone else and take some personal responsibility for the state of life in this country.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think offering or not offering birth control is not the problem.
They wanted to get pregnant so they did, but I&#039;m surprised that one of there friends did not say &quot;Wait, I don&#039;t think that is a good idea for the following reasons&quot;. Teenagers are not ignorant in fact they are at times smarter than your average adult. Some just DO NOT CARE about the consequences. Most just live in the now.
I myself am a teen mom. I got pregnant on purpose at 14. I always was a straight A student, a goody two shoes, always did the right thing, but I had an awful home life. So I decided I would get pregnant and get married and I did.
My situation is different from these girls. Had my home life been normal I would have never gotten pregnant,I would have finished school, went on to college and followed my dreams.
However, I didn&#039;t and my decision was best for me. I am now 19, had a second child, got my ged, and I plan on going to college next year.
That said I think the girls were wrong to do what they did and most of all I feel sorry for their children who will have to do without certain things.
But I hope and pray that even though they did put themselves in this position that these girls can get help because they are going to need it. My heart goes out to the parents also, no one wants their precious babies have babies themselves at such an early age.
Well, most wouldn&#039;t , mine could care less]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Where is the falasy? Our kids are served with pill control and sex education because some may have sex and at least have safe sex.

Same, some may use drugs, so why not teach them how to use them safe?

Did I say that he was named after Saddam? I was just using his name. 

Molehills? The democrats&#039; agenda is everywhere in public schools. They want the kids&#039; brain washed, and they succeded so good, that the new generation of voters don&#039;t use logic and reasoning when they cast their vote for president. Didn&#039;t history teach us that socialism/communism is a failure?  Too stupid to look at that.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the fall, I&#039;ll make a petition to my school district to show teenagers how to use neddles in the safe way if they want to use drugs. Knowing that some do, why not teach them to do it safe, right? Or to have courses that teaches them how to use cocaine safely, too. 

This new generation is desensibilitized and sexualized with all the sex outside the marriage being a wonderful thing. And that&#039;s how we get a generation without morals that is willing to elect B. Hussein as the next president.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m torn on this issue in so many ways.

First of all, I don&#039;t want kids like this having sex. But then again I know a good percentage of them will and I really don&#039;t want them having children (or abortions, for that matter). I think these kids think babies are dolls and &quot;it&#039;ll be so cool, to all have babies together&quot;. They apparently don&#039;t understand how much attention a child needs.

I&#039;d be all for distributing contraception in the school if it meant kids wouldn&#039;t be having kids. But apparently that isn&#039;t the case here because these girls PURPOSELY got pregnant. I&#039;m pretty sure that if they wanted to prevent a baby they could have gone to the nearest drugstore and bought themselves some condoms or whatever. 

The problem is that teen girls are thinking it&#039;s ok to have a baby without a father and they have no clue to what caring for a new human being 24/7 is like. Babies aren&#039;t toys, you know.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jenn, my point was that because schools are handing out condoms it gives the impression that minors having sex is okay. It condones children having sex. By extention girls that want babies then feel that if sex is condoned than what is wrong with a minor having a baby. Common sense is the problem,you are right, kids that age don&#039;t have any, so I think that once they feel that adults are condoning sex they could leap to the conclusion that having a baby is okay.]]></description>
