I had baby think it over but we never had to buy supplies for the fake baby and I wasnt paired up with a boy either...but I was never one of the stupid ones who went and got pregnant either. Granted I wasn't a virgin when I got married but I was also about 23 years old my first time and had been with the guy since I was 15 and knew proper precautions and took them. I am married to the guy today.

Teens think they have all the anwsers. IMHOP teens who are sexually active need to have counseling sessions with other teen parents. They need to see first hand what its like to be completely in charge of a small child (and babysitting doesn't cut it). some schools used to have classes for the kids. The kids were paired up boy, girl, boy, girl (like a young couples). They had a list of bills they had to pay, such as rent, utilities, groceries exctra. They were also given a baby doll. They had to buy clothes, food, and diapers for this doll. If they wanted to go out somewhere, they had to leave the doll with a real live sitter. The list of responsibilities goes on. I never had the opportunity to take one of these classes. But I do believe those that did .....suddenly had 2nd thoughts about getting pregnant.Sue>> It is amazing isn't it. They have no idea what they are in for. My oldest daughter works for Child Protective Services and the things she sees. She used to have a client who was 19, pregnant, never graduated HS, and had 4 other children!!!! ! They all kept getting taken away from her, and she'd just get pregnant again. And she didn't have anyone to help her, both parents were deceased, no family here at all.....had just followed a bf out here and then he left her.

They help out for work assessments, or as part of their probation. Right now I am trying to work with a 15 yr old girl. She has just announced that she is 2.5 months pregnant with her first child. She and her bf are very happy and excited....and get this....they are HOPING for at least twins! There is a history of mulitple births in both sides. They mother in me wants to smack thes 2 children up one side of their heads! The mother in me wants to tell these 2 to put this child up for adoption, finish school, and grow up. But according to store policy I am not allowed to do this, so I

have to keep my mouth shut. Thank you for allowing me to vent. I will shut up now.> Sue http://health. groups.. com/group/ betterbodybuddie s/?yguid= 137091429 > > http://www.peternoo ne.com.>

Really know how you feel....my son..who I got at age ten months (he's ten now)is child number 3...none of which she is raising..and has since had number four. Four kids, four dads. Even her own mother said if the courts could order her to be sterilized..that would be the best thing for her. I just don't understand how you just keep having kids and not raising them. My former mil..had 6 kids in five years...I(a set of twins in there)..she ended up getting rid of 4 of the six and messing up the other two...long story..all 6 are totally messed up. I raised 3 kids as a single parent to adulthood and now am raising this child as a single..albet old...parent, despite numerous health problems..if I can do it...she could have done it. But..in the long run..I am the fortunate one..I'm the one getting to see this

wonderful child (at least most of the time **grin**) grow up. Terri B
