    @BeatingNgSource …
    @BeatingNgSource TOTALLY AGREE, thanks to stupid teen behavior, parents get incriminated right away and thats not fair.

    Yes, I do realize …
    Yes, I do realize that teens have the same urge like adults to have sex but if your parents are not there to explain birth control to you and the difficulties of raising a child, you probably would not be in this perdicament…Not to mention the abortions you probably had which could have been prevented if your parents had any sense raise you right.

    @Y2p731 what? I… i gave you some facts :P … im just gonna leave this convo, PM me if you feel like responding to me saying, im out…

    Here to a person …
    Here to a person who is freaking out and out of control after I mentioned the different religions and nothing else. Congratulations BeatingNgSource for having no life.

    @Y2p731

    The …
    @Y2p731

    The United States is described in mainstream media as largely Christian (between 70 and 80 percent – depending on the study – identify themselves as Christian).

    But “Christian” is a very loose term, within christianity you have 20-25 churches (catholic, orthodox, anglican, lutheran, jehovah’s witnesses etc), and, a VAST majority of any study show that 70-80 percent of adults in your country are able to identify themselves with one of these…

  7. Y2p731 says:

    All I’m point out …
    All I’m point out that some guy thinks most people in this country are Christians, which is not.

  8. BeatingNgSource says:

    Hmh, interesting …
    Hmh, interesting how you point all blame towards the parents… teen pregnancy happens because teenagers are horny, like fuck…

    What are the parents supposed to say?

    They can educate them about condoms… i am certain, that EVERY TEENAGER ALIVE IN THE WESTERN WORLD knows about condoms… you are blind, deaf and dumb if you don’t.

    … Or they can say, what really is their only option, “dont til you’re older… DONT!”.

  9. BeatingNgSource says:

    Not buddhists …
    Not buddhists actually.

    Not deists, deism is believing that there was a god that started everything, and have no power to intervene with the present world… why the would wearing a condom be wrong for deists, believing god cant intervene?

    Atheists?… you honestly think, that atheists, believe wearing a condom, is wrong? I wont even explain that one, you should realize how dumb that statement is…

  10. Y2p731 says:

    You forgot, …
    You forgot, Catholic,Roman Catholics, Atheists, Buddist, Islam, Judiaism, Deism , Hindus and of course the troubling group that is affiliated with polygamy.

  11. chingon711 says:

    The point I’m …
    The point I’m trying to make is that parents cannot expect the school system to raise their children, especially when it comes to these type of matters…Parents need to teach these children control, what and what not to value.

  12. AngelQueen55 says:

    Really its not just …
    Really its not just the parents fault for not educating the kids sex ed is being shoved down the kids throat at school and its their form of expression of getting to be against the trend of being skinny also the people feel that they need to be pregnant to get attention

  13. bookworm13130 says:

    only if this was out when i was writing my paper….

  14. chingon711 says:

    The parents are to …
    The parents are to blame because they are front & center when comes to educating their children about sex…All I can say is that both the parents and pregnant teen are in for a rude awakening…We are living in uncertain times where the american dream is non-existent.

  15. fadyb56 says:

    they should be …
    they should be killed right away

  16. Purrrsuasive1 says:

    @xavierxxaj more …
    @xavierxxaj more pregnancies happen when the economy is down, because there is less money to keep people entertained and out of the house. So, more inside entertainment is being done and watch….this will now turn into a baby boom era. I assume the economy is hitting the teens too. Meaning they don’t have jobs or money and there ya go…they need entertainment.

  17. BeatingNgSource says:

    @Y2p731 according …
    @Y2p731 according to christians, thats wrong, most americans are christians… i guess thats not the main reason of teen pregnancy at all though

    We need more easy, effective sterilization techniques for boys…ya agree anyone?

  23. Y2p731 says:

    Good Economy = Teen …
    Good Economy = Teen Pregancy on the decline

    Bad Economy = Teen Pregancy on the rise.

    Of course this means absolutely nothing if people just a freaking condom.
