What the HELL is wrong with these kids??

Babies having babies. This just makes me so sick :mad: :rolleyes:

Where are the parents of these children?

Wow. Being pregnant is fashionable? :rolleyes:

So getting knocked up is the new black huh :rolleyes:

In the immortal words of Napoleon Dynamite: "IDIOTS!!!" :mad:

Ahhhh, the UK. Doesn't surprise me, because a lot of the ****ed up pregnancy stories come from England and Scotland. This sums it up:

Her revelations come as official figures show England and Wales have the highest rates of teenage pregnancies in Europe - with the biggest increase among girls under 16.

my god that's sad

...thats disturbing.

P*iss poor parents.:crazy:

it's sad, but in some cases, that IS the idea a typical fourteen-year-old girl could get. it's mere human nature for younger people to observe a trend among their friends peers and think it would be fun, if not "necessary" to be one of them. that's just psychology for you. pregnancy can be one of those trends. and it doesn't necessarily take an idiot to see it that way; just someone who is naive. i'm absolutely not saying it's ok that she and other young girls are pregnant, just that her beliefs regarding such are logical.

you can't judge the parents so quickly either. you don't know what they've tried to do to prevent such things happening to their daughter, or why it failed. parenting is not the only thing kids are influenced by. there could be a million reasons good parents end up with a child like that.

ohno:

ohno:


You took the words right out of my mouth, Kelly.

Gosh, what's the world coming to?

Geez....this is totally disturbing! I wonder when the "fashion" would stop once money comes into place to raise these poor babies? It's not so "fashionable" then, is it?

Not to mention dirty diapers, spit up, teething, etc. Wait till you can't go to the mall and go to all the ball games anymore. Oh, we can just pawn the baby off on the adults while we go out and have fun!! :mumble:

My sister and her husband lost their first baby in a miscarriage and it totally broke their hearts. She did get pregnant again and in June gave birth to a beautiful, healthy boy. My nephew is the light of our lives, and at 24 my sister is an excellent mother. He's loved all the more because he was wanted so much, and his parents were prepared, financially and emotionally, for him.

A baby is not a toy or some gadget!! It's a HUMAN BEING with needs, and deserves REAL parents who know how to love and care for a child!! :angryfire
:2mad :livid:

I guess getting STD's or HIV is the greatest fashion faux pas...

Damn what's wrong with some people today.

"There's nothing for children to do in Paignton. I honestly think they get bored and think it's a fashionable thing to get pregnant."
Are you kidding me?! "Nothing to do" is a weak phrase. If they use their creative imagination, then there are other things to do - community service, write, read a novel, watch movies, etc.

Yeah! Read a book. Walk the dog. Getting pregnant because you're BORED??? :confused: :mumble: :mad:

Trust me, if you lived in THAT abyss of a town where I used to live (you know which one I'm talking about lol), you'd say that. There were always a large number of knocked-up girls at my high school.

(Thank the ****ing god I _MOVED_.)
