So Im sitting here slurping my coffee, and watching the news as i do every morning, and there is a story about a group of 16 - 17 yr old highschool girls, that made a pact to get pregnant together, and if i heard right, 8 of them are.

One of the fathers or should i say sperm donors, is a 21 yr old homeless dude.
The news commentator asked WHY??? and the answer was so that they would have that sense of acceptance, legitimacy etc, being a parent..blah blah.....
they also mention our celebraty culture, and wanting to be pregnant like they are.
good gawd what has this nation come to.......

I am so sad to think that in THIS day and age, young women, with their whole lives ahead of them, feel that they HAVE to be pregnant to feel accepted.
They cant feel that way in college?
They cant feel accepted with a man that loves them?
They cant feel accepted just dating?
..working?
..traveling?
..backpacking through europe would do it for me! LOL


ugh, i need more coffee...

Some people are just stupid. It is easy to get pregnant (at least theoretically) and when you have given birth to a baby, you have achieved something.

I feel the same way as you do. I am glad I am not together with my first boyfriend any more. I am glad it was over 11 years ago. I went to university, lived in different countries of Europe, travelled, learned new languages and made new friends...
Maybe they should watch Dr Phil

Honey-bunnyyyy...

*shakeshead*....craazzzy....

I wonder how the parents reacted.....

Parents: Why did you get pregant?
Girl: Because I want someone who will love me, accept me and just be there for me...
Parents:...........whaaaa?

I don't know how I would have responded, especially when it was intentional and a group pact or something...Maybe parents just not spending enough time with the kids and it just keeps snowballing. Maybe, they tried to get love from boyfriends and that too failed, so they all decided to have babies. These girls don't seem to have much love for themselves and are missing something that only they could give themselves....People looking to others to feel up holes in their hearts or whatever are just looking for a mishap...I dunno...trying to figure it out....How many girls were there orignially? Where there 12 in the beginning and then the ones who had sense just dropped out and then that left 8?...

Oh god, I read this story yesterday and yes, it is so sad that girls today feel that they have to get pregnant in order to feel like someone will love them unconditionally. No doubt they came from broken homes and families and have experienced lots of disappointment when it comes to having loving relationships. I personally know a girl who grew up in an environment where her parents made her feel worthless and unwanted. To validate herself she basically would sleep with anyone who would give her the time of day. She married a complete loser who was abusive and cheated on her. She ended up pregnant with his child and she was so excited about it because she was exactly like these girls, she wanted to prove that she could do something meaningful with her life and she even told me, "Now I'll have someone who REALLY loves me." Thank god now she's away from her husband but she has a really difficult life and she tends to take out her frustration on her son by being overbearing and overly protective one moment and then completely ignoring him to chat with her male 'friends' on the internet the next. The kid is constantly doing bad things in order to get his mother's attention. *shakes head* I'm not saying she doesn't love her son, but obviously she had absolutely no idea what she was getting herself into and she still has the mentality of a high school student with no direction.

I'm afraid to eat what's in this can.

Oh my god.


That makes me SO angry. I wouldn't allow most kids these days to babysit my CAT. How the hell do these people keep procreating?

And as far as the celebrity thing.. what's so glamorous about Britney? She's crazier than bat shit, she has to pay her dirty ex-husband TONS of money because she was stupid enough to marry him, her family treats her like she's 4 (because she's crazier than bat shit), and they took her effing kids away.


Yes, please, I'll take that with a side of screaming infant at 3 am.

she's got Bette Davis eyes

Someone needs to teach the lesson that broken parents yeild broken kids.

I'm glad I waited to have children when I was 30. I'm much more self-aware then I was when I was younger. Sure I still have problems, but I know not to project these onto my son.

I used to wish that my marriage didn't end so soon after my son was born, but in hindsight it's for the best. He's a much better father on a part-time basis as sick as that sounds, and I'm available to parent my son without having to parent his father too.

I guess one would think as a nation we were so much more evolved than this?
I mean, women have alot of options for their futures, education, jobs etc and you dont HAVE to bear a child to be valuable.

I have daughters, and i raised them to be confident, independent women, I cant imagine them getting pregnant to feel loved, I would hope they get that from me, and this girls are so young, they dont realize that
BABIES ARE THE EPITOME OF NARCISSISM, they are not able to love a parent until they are older, they demand food, to be changed, etc etc
they are not going to look into your eyes with loving adoration..they would prolly throw up in your mouth.....lol

and dont even GET me started on teenagers....*shakes head*....

These girls just have no foresight at all. They don't think about the screaming at 3 in the morning, the diaper changing, or how having a child will ruin their own childhood. They just think that since they made this 'pact' that all their friends will help out and be totally selfless. I don't care how mature a 15 year old thinks they are, they won't be mature enough to deal with it on their own, let alone helping to raise someone else's kids too. They are in the honeymoon stage right now but that will quickly disappear and then I feel very sorry for all their children who will most likely be neglected when their mommies want to go out and party or have their old lives back.
