Re: ~Highest Teen Pregnancy Rate In The County

I think you are both right, Caz and Lilly.
Morals and responsibility need to be taught from an early age, not just contraceptive practices....and contraceptive advice is freely available to youngsters...more so that ever before in the past.
The girls today do not seem to be ashamed of being a single mother...it is almost like they are cocking a snook(no pun intended) at society.
The sad thing is that the children of young unmarried women are likely to follow in their mothers footsteps......and yes it is very sad that girls these days do not value themselves more highly....they have so many chances of education and betterment and they are willing to throw it all away for a quick fumble.
