but that doesn't make it right. We have a lot of teenagers in our community (and it's a very small one) who are pregnant, one in my oldest son's class and some as young as 12 years old. The one in my son's class was the head twirller last year and has really raised a ruckus because she wants....no, DEMANDS...to be head twirller this year, nevermind the fact that she will be 7 or 8 months pregnant at the time. A lot of kids have quit band because they refuse to stand behind her at football games and in parades, which I think says a lot for some kids. Another girl that is currently pregnant has had as many as 3 abortions in the past, and she is barely 16 years old, if that old.
In my opinion, there are too many options available to unwed teenage mothers these days, and there is no repercussion for their err in judgment that landed them in this perdicament. When I was a girl in school, pregnant students did not attend school under any circumstances, let alone participate in extra cirricular activities. |
