Carrie22 you are right about the teen pregnancy and as much as I love and enjoy kids I am sad to say but children having children just keeps getting worse year after year after year. High schools here have a program where the kids have to play married so for one week they take turns with this play live baby that crys the kids where bands that have bar codes on them and the fake baby has different crys and the parents of the baby have to tend to the crys , feedings and changing the baby and burping the baby. By parents I mean the kids. when the baby cries they run the bar code across the babys back.If they did things right the baby stops crying. When they go back to school there bar codes are checked to see if they did feedings on time changes on time and so on. And how well the kids did when the baby would not stop crying. They even had to take the baby to class with them. And the teachers could not beleave how many of the kids thought this was a joke. The idea was to get kids to see how hard it would be to be a mom or dad at there young age. This had some good points but kids just did not care. Some of the kids failed because of joking around with there baby like paying someone to watch them or throwing them up in the air or play around shaking it and if you shake the baby the computer would log it in so to most of the kids it was just a joke. So what do we do have the school give out condums that's like saying go ahead have sex its ok and the kids win I feel, but even if we don't they still do it. In a way I think comericals could help if they would show a young girl that had a dream but had a baby and now has to be a mommy. It hard now a days because options don't seam to be options at all. I don't know what the answer is but I know more and more children are having children . And most avg.familys today don't have the money to care for their childs baby. We don't live in the age where a mom can stay home and care for her family and her kids. Now kids come home and no one is there so what happends they get into trouble. Theses days both parents need to work to make ends meet. I think kids need more after school things to do like sports. But again it takes money like here where I live your child can do a sport after school but you have to pay to do it and parents don't have the money so what does the child do? goes home a lone or gets into trouble. What is the answer ? I get so mad at thoses talk shows about big familys and how great it is. Don't get me wrong some of them are doing great but here's the deal (This is a true story.) I have a sister-in-law she is 36 years old and has 15 children you do the math. She goes on all the talk shows saying how great it is to have a big family and when they do the show you never see where they live or how they live they don't tell you all there kids lunches are free and how they even get a discount on the light bill they don't talk about the hard or bad sides just the other stuff. If your going to do the story tell the whole thing. I can tell you her kids don't do sports no one has a room of there own and only the oldest of their girl and boy get new clothes everyone else gets hand downs from underwear to shoes. At christmas we where asked to only give toys that they can all use. I'm sorry I feel this is wrong in every way. They live in a town house 3 rooms parents in one boys in one and the girls in the other, they do have what you call a Calf. king bed and they share it. they take turns sleeping in the bed and the ones who don't get the bed they sleep on the floor till its their turn. They get free food that people give them ect. and only the father works. They where even given a 15 person van I don't know when she will stop but she is do to have another one in Jan. I could go on but you get the picture. In fact she will be on the Opra show here real soon. She thinks just because her father came from a large family she can to, hello different times. The family offered to buy her a house if she would stop well you know the answer to that was a big fat NO.
