When I was 15 nearly 16 and had just left school someone i know found out she was pregnant. She told me by saying hey guess what im pregnant and im getting married and im getting a house. Now that was back in 1983. I turned round and said she was stupid. Why have a kid you wont be able to go out and have fun. By the way when she left her hubby because he was cheating on her the council/government gave her another house and furnished it for her.

Why have a kid if you cant look after and provide for the child though. These kids of 14 who are having babies how are they going to provide for them. They are under the age of 16 and so cant work full time - mainly because they are going to school to supposedly get the qualifications to go out to work. So who is going to be picking up the tab for childcare while they are in school and for their food and for their clothes and pram and cot etc? People who are at work and paying their taxes thats who.
