90 girls pregnant at Memphis High School

[meesterperfect]

Ok, good point.

I knew you were only joking tiger.

I agree that this is a bad sign. Being a teenager, they are way to young to be having children. That being said, it's unfair to assume that all of these girls are irresponsible and don't know who the father is, etc.

that's true, but we know most of them won't further their education and become another welfare recepient.
unfair to themselves but much worse unfair to the kids.

No excuse for this level of ignorance. If you can't learn by your own well being, and if you can't learn for your future well being, and if you can't learn from other shitty examples from your own peers...

How can this be combatted???

Good question.
Its just the "in" thing.
its the most damaging in thing though.
these people are bringing a life into the world as if their getting a lower back tattoo and theyre too young and stupid to realize the consequences of it.

The media should help educate young people of the consequences,but they won't because there's no money in that.
the schools should really show kids the true consequences but they probably sugarcoat it.
that leaves the GOV and i don't know what the hek theyre motivation is, but every thing it does seems to be for the detriment of the country and not the improvement.

I agree.

Thanks.

I can agree with that much. I think the fathers are more to blame though TBH (as other posters in this thread stated).

You're right about the media. I haven't seen 16 & Pregnant but I've heard that it exploits the idea of being a teen mom. Not to mention all of the other sitcoms directed specifically at teen girls where teen girl characters are getting knocked up left and right.

The schools should have better units about safe sex/contraceptives/abstinance and have them at an earlier stage of school. Of course, whenever an effective course is developed the Christians have to step in and prevent it. And then they wonder why their daughters are pregnant. People need to understand that sexuality is a fact of life and that young people need to be educated about it.

Just my punk ass :2 cents: but the government don't really care about single moms, let alone teen moms. As far as those bastards are concerned, they're all just low class scum. They just care about their big houses, fancy cars and private jets.

It is really fucked up that abstanence and individualism have gone by the wayside. Teen programming such as Skins, Degrassi... etc do a really shitty job of helping in this cause. They either glorify the rationale of justification regarding the act or give an inside look of the aftermath of the poor decision made. Nowhere are examples of results of great decision making by teen peers which I think is just as important to show.

I think it is high time all of the options get put on the table prevention-wise, and I'm talking about going past the physical choices (which very few teens use anyway). All this give teens all of their contraceptive options alone doesn't FUCKING work. Let's start working on changing the mentalities. The media can paint a better picture for teenagers, so they can make better decisions. Enough of painting a picture to teens that say 'I'll get a do-over for fucking up' or 'I'll figure it all out later'. What reason are we giving them to do better? To be better? What tactics are we using to improve their quality of life? How the hell can we expect them to be on the right path without providing them a map?

Maybe they're all hoping to get on that show on Retard Television. Sorry, I mean MTV. They're thinking. I'll get knocked up, I'll get on the show, I'll get famous like my hero Snooki!

I wonder? Is the School Motto... "Old Enough to Bleed, Old Enough to Breed!" Go team! Go!

I don't know if they care about them but they pay for everything they own and eat plus more.

98% black uh oh.

where did you get that?
I think ts true though.
I found this:
Ethnicity statistics 2001
White: 23.9%
Black: 74.2%
Hispanic: 1.2%
thats for the area, not the school so i suppose 98% is about right.

I also found this video:

I'll say it and I'll catch some crap but this is for the welfare money, period.
it says 100% of the students are eligible for free lunch, paid for by federal dollars, that means peoples taxes.
So its safe to say most of these kids probably grew up in single family homes and on welfare too, so this is the life they know.
theys just doin like mama did.

This is one little area in one medium size city, multiply that by 10's of thousands and thats a pretty big burden on the working people.

The GOVERNMENT doesn't want to see black people stand on their own feet, succeed and support themselves.
They want to keep them just where they are by chucking them scraps of meat like a master to his dog.
But too many blacks fall right into it so I have no pity for them either.

Instead of supporting them for having kids they should reward them for graduating high school by using that same money to further their education free of charge to the ones that graduate with ok grades.
Oh, they already do that too, but no one wants it.
What good was Brown vs. The board of education if no one wants it?

its a sick, sad situation in the USA.
The poor reproduce like theres no tomorrow and the government forces people who don't to pay for it and if they don't they put them in jail.
Thats one way to get control of a country, break it down by overwhelming it financially.
Put everybody in the poorhouse sooner or later and the politicians not only stand by and let it happen but promote it, they don't care because they'll always be rich until the day they die and go to hell.

I wish more people would take this stuff seriously, its your country, your childrens future were dealing with here.
just look around .

you know the people of europe who lived during the dark ages in poverty and disease were surrounded by the great roman ruins from just a few hundred years earlier.
a constant reminder of how much better it was then, and how shitty it is now.
maybe thats the fate of the United States, sure looks that way
