Yes you learn from your mistakes, however with a support system around you, that is how you learn and educate yourself how to not make the same mistake again.

I don't konw how you can't wrap your mind around the fact that without the love of a family/support system, girls like this would sink so fast in the real world. Even though they made their beds, they need to realize WHY they made that mistake, and HOW to prevent future errors. To do that? Have a support system in place: Love of a parent or family.

Its not that hard of a concept to grasp.

Dude, no one is swearing, or at least i am not towards you, so try to give me the respect i've reluctantly gave you.

I think a big part of this whole problem is that the support system was not there in the first place. Otherwise, why are they looking at this big fairytale world of "Oooh, If I have a baby - they will love me!"

You Know I saw this and it saddened me. With so many people I know who can not have children and would be perfect Parents who could give them the love, the nurturing, the patience, the structure, a warm home and food, shelter, all the things a child needs to survive in this world.You know, I used to think part of Sex ED was for Youth to see what actual child birth was like then spending time in a Nursery with sick kids and then doing their community services at Child Care Place. So they would know just what would happen if they had child. Let's not forget let them meet people who have STD ( like HIV) This would be naturally approved by parents to me you cant any real then that.

As far as parenting, I've seen good parents do all the right things and have one kid just go wrong sometimes kids do things we just do not understand My kid we say what happen? If you do all that you can I mean all that you should teach them right from wrong to love and respect teach them the meaning of earning things instead of being handed to them.Teach them that you can't just go around hurting people with out it coming back to bite you in the butt. If you did it all and they fall short from your guiding hand I told friends do not beat your self up sometimes kids see and follow thier peers its a new world today, as sad as that may be its true.

Does this stop me from loving being a Mom? No, I have to have faith in what I taught my children and believe in that and I refuse to beat my self up if they ever should as adults fall short. Will I always be there?, yes, but not to condone their action, but to let them know I will always be their Mother.

Uh...the girls got pregnant without a loving husband/father in the picture.

That's the PERFECT reason for adoption.

Just because the girls made a mistake, that doesn't mean the child has to grow up not knowing her mother. Adoption in this case to me would just be another quick fix.
