There are plenty that do that and some who do have a job even if its part time and loving homes if 17/18. Why a kid would want a kid beats me but is best summed up by the answer I got of my nieces pal. She was going on about being 16 in March and I asked her what was so important to which she answered "it will be legal" so that somes up the attitude of these kids. My young cousin regrets it as it stopped her doing what she wanted to do at colledge and uni. Asked why she got pregnant she said it was an accident and besides her pals said they were all sleeping with their boyfriends. Whether this was true or not it shows the peer pressure part without the realisation of what the consiquences of it going wrong due to contraception failure/non use (lads are the worst for this) leads to.
The story shows that we are still failing children in an area that will affect them for life. Maybe its time to stop glamourising sex and change the mind set of these kids before more have their lives destroyed. I have a daughter and worry about what she will trying in a few years time and how I would react.
