I just don't get it.
Why does it seem like no one understands the seriousness of having a baby anymore? Back when I was a freshman, there was only one girl I knew of that was pregnant. Here, in my senior year, I can name off the top of my head about 10 girls who are either pregnant, had a baby, or are expecting one. And these are just the girls I'm aware of. I'm sure there are probably about a dozen I don't know about, and probably another dozen right now in a bedroom with some guy so they can become a statistic as well.
It's almost like it's becoming a trend. Something "cool" to do like wearing skinny jeans or smoking. I can't imagine what the upcoming generation is going to be like. They're being raised by kids, not by mature, experienced adults. How can you teach a girl how to be a woman when you don't even know how to be a woman yourself? How do you teach a boy what it means to be a man when you don't even know the first thing about being a man?
These girls have really gone wild. The funny thing about it is the guys are all the same: they are either blatantly cheating on the girl, or they are about to go off to the military. I was sitting in class the other day with a male classmate that had a girlfriend and a baby, and he was bragging about how he was going to bang so many females after he graduates. I also overheard a girl in my class complaining about being left alone with a baby because her baby's daddy is planning on joining the Navy. Not only do they not take babies seriously, but they don't even have enough common sense to choose a responsible mate. And then they go and rant about how useless and terrible all men are. The truth is this: it's not that all men are terrible, it's that you are attracted to terrible men. That's why you always end up in "relationships" with them. There are plenty good men in this world, but the majority of females overlook them and instead fall for the "thug", or the "football player", or the "pretty boy", and then they wonder why their life is ruined and their heart is broken.
It's boggling how lost these people are. They're about to live a life of complete hell and they don't even realize it yet. They're poor, uneducated, inexperienced, alone, and have a baby. So how good of a life do you think this baby will have? You think this baby is going to be an honor roll student? You think this baby is going to own his own business one day? You think this baby isn't going to make the same mistakes you made? You think the baby is going to love you or his father after he gets to be your age and realizes how horrific his parents were? How he should have both of his parents, how he should have had better guidance, how you irresponsibly brought him into this world before you were prepared?
Personally, I'd like a wife, but I don't want any children. I know that if I had a choice to be brought into this world, I would have chosen to never be born. This world is full of grief and stress and it's not getting any better. This world is quickly becoming worse. I don't want to wake up everyday knowing I brought someone into this hell we call "life". Especially while I'm still in high school. At this age, you should be planning your future, not making babies. Even if you do bring a baby into this world, it should be for reasons other than because all your friends have babies, or because you want to get on welfare.
People say all the time that they have given up on the people of MY generation. If you think we're bad, wait till the next generation gets here. We'll probably have girls popping out babies in kindergarten.
Anyway, just thought I'd talk about this. I mean it's not like I can say all this in a room full of high school students with babies. I'm not bulletproof.

The problem with these kind of generalizations is that you only have a small view of the world.

Just because you have a baby at a young age doesn't mean you're going to screw your life over. There are exceptions to every rule.
For example, when I was in the 9th grade, a friend of mine had a baby. In grade 9! 14 years old! I don't know about the father situation, but I don't think he's still in the picture. Back to my friend: After grade 9 she went to a high school designed for young mothers like herself. She got her diploma in less than two years, and began working to save up money for her baby and herself to make it through 2? years of college so she could get a decent job. She is still however living with her mother, but I think that's more financial than anything. My point is: Accidents happen. If you have a good head on your shoulders then there's no reason something like this should ruin your life. | |
These are not accidents. These are willing males and females having sex. It's not like they don't know how babies come into this world.
Even if you are a responsible person, you're still going to struggle and be stressed out especially if you're poor or if you had a baby you really don't want. | |
Well, just because you're having sex doesn't mean you're planning to have a baby. For example, I know two people who have regular sex, and are hoping not to get pregnant; however they do have a plan in place just in case she does get pregnant.

how is babby made
The school I went to was terrible (the school system itself was a pile of shit due to a number of reasons) and I'm almost for sure we set a record or something for most pregnancies. When I was in my senior year there were several seventh graders pregnant. | |

humans are a cancer of this world, they continuously grow and populate until the resources are used up, and then migrate to repeat the cycle - exactly like a virus, slowly infecting the earth
the human race will eventually destroy themselves, if they want to have babies at a young age fine, its not your problem. | |
This behavior is a logical extension of what you complained about in your Valentine's Day post (no offense, but I'm mildly ashamed of reading your blog as much as I do). People think that having kids is just something you do, they don't bother to think about its significance.

About 9/10 of the people in the UK (maybe USA too, not sure) do it for the money. The benefits and money you get from the government is better than getting a job. Not all of them think like that though, my GF for example actually wants to work still.

You know, the best solution is what the Japanese used to call "thinning out the rice shoots". Or just abortion, if you don't have the stomach for that.
On a more serious note, though, you probably are ruining your life if you have a kid in high school. Even if someone manages to try and salvage the pieces of their life, like F0lak said, they still ruined it by destroying a number of opportunities, like actually getting boyfriends (srsly, most guys don't want a girlfriend with a baby. Personally, I wouldn't be able to stand it). Regardless, having sex doesn't lead to a baby if you're smart or even have some semblance of intelligence (unless you have other reasons or are against abortion, which is ridiculous in and of itself when referring to a majority of the pregnancy). | |
You mean abortion? No. They have a list of things that they would each do if she got pregnant before he finishes at university, 6 years from now. That is, assuming that they're still together. The plan they have was pretty detailed the last time I asked about it. It included things like work schedules, places they would live, and the like. They've even spoken to their parents about letting them stay there. All in all, they're nothing if not prepared. I can't see them running into problems; with or without a baby. | |
"I also overheard a girl in my class complaining about being left alone with a baby because her baby's daddy is planning on joining the Navy." If he does join, its a step in the right direction. The military has great benefits. But if he is one of the typical guys you are referring to, then well, the government will take his money. "I don't want to wake up everyday knowing I brought someone into this hell we call "life"." You're in high school, actually have a life before you say its "hell" "People say all the time that they have given up on the people of MY generation. If you think we're bad, wait till the next generation gets here. We'll probably have girls popping out babies in kindergarten." OR, step up and teach the next generation how it should be to prevent them from making the same mistakes. | |
