i think that teen pregnancy needs to slow down in the united states there is a time for every thing and for some teens it is not there time to have kids so they need to try to slow it down. teen pregnancy is the big thing here and it is geeting bad. so some teen girls need to stop having sex and geeting pregnant....................

The Wall Street crisis was planned the night of Obama's meeting at Bill Ayres home to put Obama in The White House. Together they put a beautiful plan into place.

This Strategy was first elucidated in the 1966 issue of 'The Nation' Magazine by a pair of radical Socialist Columbia University professors, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.

David Horowitz summarizes it as:

"The strategy of forcing political change through an orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of Capitalism by overloading the Government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

Obama begin with ACORN by funneling millions into their organization. He then trained ACORN to stage protests in banks to force them to issue risky loans or they would be threatened to face racial charges. ACORN was trained to intimidate financial institutions into giving ???Ninja??? loans to people with NO assets, NO job and NO income, who couldn???t afford these loans.

That caused the housing bubble two years ago it was by ACORN's actions they were able to destroy our credit system.

As this played out, D-Barney Frank and D-Chris Dodd were able to cover up the millions of improvident loans to these bad risky house buyers. And Barney Frank and his chums successfully were able to block all of President Bush's attempts to put a rein on this problem.

So Fannie & Freddie was forced to purchase all these failed subprime mortgages.

Then both Frank and Dodd denied that there were any problems, and refused the Bush Admin. requests to set up a regulatory agency to watch over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and they were still pushing for these agencies to go even further in promoting sub-prime mortgage loans almost up to the 'minute they failed'.

Democrats then blamed Bush saying it happened on his watch knowing it would hurt the Republican Party in the election setting it up that Barack Obama could use this to his advantage.

Karl Marx once compared a Revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface.

Barack Obama is that Marxist mole !

Movies and television share the commonality of including at least a section of 'teen pregnancy' in their scripts, but are they addressing the issue in the right way? I think not. When good ole??? ???June-Bug??? told her father and step mother about her pregnancy, the only thing they could say was "I thought you were the kind of girl who knew when to say when.??? If there is something missing in the staging of these reactions, it???s definitely reactions. Parents aren???t going to be as calm and cool with their baby, having a baby! They never wanted to see anything like this happen to their own child, and yet, in these movies and T.V. shows, these parents can???t seem to lay any sort of derogatory mark on the table. Maybe the reason why so many teen girls find themselves pregnant every year is because they aren???t actually showing the consequences that are the parents??? reaction or when the mothers choose to keep and raise that baby. Hollywood has turned not only pregnancy into a glamorous fashion statement, but teen pregnancy into alluring state of being. Teen pregnancy will continue to be glamorized as long as the media makes it so.

I had a very interesting conversation with a teen the other day. She told me that she was reading some of the various comments with regard to teens having babies. This 15 year old told me that she is very angry about the terrible comments aimed at teen parents, especially teenage moms. When I questioned her on why she felt angry with this topic, she exclaimed that it was, "none of an adult's business to police a teen's body when it comes to sex and babies because they are all just jealous of how teens can make babies faster and easier than old folks; let them all shut up and let us run our own bodies because we are smart people and in charge and more richer and mature these days!" Upon quizzing this little upstart on why she feels so empowered and opinionated on an ADULT decision to have kids, she replied that her 17 year old sister has twins(a girl and a boy) who complete the 17 year old's life and therefore she must follow the same path. I pushed harder for details, getting only her mushy and dewy account of her version on parenthood. When I reminded her of how expensive and important such a responsibility is in parenthood, she shot back with, "That's why we have the government, stupid! They are there to pay for everyone even if they are teens or illegals. That's why my parents and grandparents pay taxes and why my sister can have kids now and finish school if she chooses to later on ! Family first, school and all that jazz later. She's gonna be cool and neat just like Jamie Lynn Spears!" Aha! No wonder such resistance! There is her great example and idol! It's right out of the mouth's of babes. Of course, not all teens or kids will feel this way, but look at the ones who do. It's bad enough that kids/teens are underdeveloped in brain capacity via nature/biology. Now we may have somone such as Jamie Lynn as a fill-in for parents who don't educate and caution their children on sex before kids are 18 and over or married. This kid was wrong in seemingly every angle of her arguement and conclusions and also used a richer-than-most teen diva Jamie Lynn as an example of real life in her "world" (along with her older sister with the twins). Government exists for this? I'm stupid? Sorry baby girl lost. You probably have parents who could care less about your future or your sister's present path in life(perhaps like Britney and Jamie Lynn"s parents). I'm proud to say that at age 40, I was taught better than those how seem to have less morals, standards, and values. It's still safe to say that well, ...........some people are just too dumb to know how dumb they are!

I was a pregnant teen at 16 years old. I was with a boy I thouught I loved. I kept my baby and though it wasn't easy I raised him with the help of my parents. This was a difficult situation for them but they were always supportive and helpful. I graduated from highschool and went straight to college. I was determined not to be a statistic. I met my husband at 19 and married him at 20. He has been a terrific father to my son and our other 2 sons. I am now 33 and my son will soon be 17. I can't imagine my life with out him. I don't sanction teen pregnancy. I do believe you can take responsibility for your actions and be a good teen parent. I now am a teacher, a parent , a wife and I have a great life. I don't think pregnant teens should give up and drop out of life. Keep going, be sucessful, finish school and make a life for your child. It really can be done. I am proof.

When a teenager gets pregnant, not mentioning the reasons, she should take care of the children because is a way to deal with the consequences of an unprotected sex and she must not give the children to adoption or doing an abortion, the new mommy now has to deal with the situation and grow up with the new experiences.
If she doesn´t want this way ,it was better to think first. and so the family.
I´m from Brazil, sorry the mistakes.

Quite simply, kids shouldn't be having sex. That would eliminate the problem, but reality says that teen sex is something we will continue to have to deal with. And we aren't doing it very effectively. We need to not only preach abstinence, but consequences. Sex can lead to a variety of problems, and pregnancy is only one. The media has started glorifying and glamorizing not just teen sexual behavior, but also teen motherhood. And teen motherhood is NOT glamorous. Jamie Lynn Spears could have done the world a favor by not having sex or using protection, but once she and her boyfriend got themselves into this situation, they could have made a noble choice and given the child up for adoption to a family that has the wherewithall to actually raise the child in a stable and loving environment. Yes, that's a tough choice to make, and it has repercussions, but sometimes you have to put the child's best interest ahead of your own. I work with kids in this age range, and I so often hear, "No one will love my baby the way I can." Then not too long after that, the child ends up in the care of the state because the teen can't provide appropriate care. Wouldn't it just be better to place the child in a better environment from the get-go?

It would be even better if Hollywood stopped glorifying teenage sexual behavior and embraced a new sexual revolution. Teens -- and adults -- need to understand the virtue of chastity, which is far more than abstinence. An expression of selflessness, chastity informs how and when to express sexuality properly in a relationship between two people. It helps people to refrain from using others as objects of sexual satisfaction.

Teenage pregnancy now a days is becoming more and more common, I know when I went to High school during my freshman year there were a handful of girls pregnant, then my sophmore year I was one of them and so was a lot of other girls, I am now 19 with two kids and seriously half of the students I went to school with then are now parents of one or two kids. It's sad but very common around were I live. I did graduate High school and so did the majority of the other girls that got pregnant, I am in my 2nd year of college, and I am getting married in two months, but I owe all my success to my family being there, my mom and gap and gma mostly. It???s sad to say that teen pregnancy is a common thing now but it is and parents need to talk to their kids about sex and do whatever it is possible. Hell if I had I teenage daughter and I couldn???t get her to take birth control and didn???t trust her judgment I would give her the pill everyday and just tell her it was her vitamin or something. LOL. There has to do be something someone can do, Motherhood is the best experience in someone's life but if you really think you'll be a good mom to your child, than the best thing you can do is to have WAIT, and who really knows when that it is? No one, but the idea is to wait until you can be able to support you and your family on your own. Give your baby the life you had or always wanted to have by waiting. P.S I love my kids more than anything and I wouldn???t trade them for anything in the world, and ???I love being a young mom, just not this young.???

Yes teenage pregnancy is a traumatic experience for both the expectant mother and father, but the absence of a support system is what makes the circumstance a lot worse. When a teenage girl finds out that shes pregnant, she is frightened to tell her parents because of the fear of getting kicked out or ostracized from her family. In most instances, her instincts are unfortunately right. To me that is the most horrible thing a family can do to an expecting teenage mom. Yes she had sex and was careless enough to get pregnant but in reality, the outcome of the situation is a new life, and why should she be punished for bringing a new life into the world? I think the reason for the killing of newborns as mentioned by ProudParentof3 and other horrible occurrences is the absence of a family support system. If a family fostered an environment where in the event of such an unexpected teen pregnancy were to occur, they would be there to support emotionally, mentally and financially. In my opinion this will lead to an increase in teen mothers continuing their education, a decrease in newborn murder, and the list of positive benefits goes on.

I'm not saying for parents to let it seem as if the child messes up it will be okay, but i think a parents love and support for their child should be unconditional and not subjected in certain conditions.With that being said, my advice to teenagers who are sexually active is to use birth control at all times until your married or old enough to support a child on your own.

I am so thankful there's finally been an article printed discussing some of these issues. I was completely outraged about the article in OK magazine about Jamie Spears. It disgusted me how the article made it look like being a teen mother is so easy and carefree. Sure, if you are famous and can afford a nanny, a 300 thousand dollar house and all of the other costs of raising a child. I had my son when I was 17 years old and I can tell you that it definitely wasn't easy. There needs to be an article on real teen mothers so teens know the truth. I had to work to support myself and my son, plus go to school. I can remember waking up in the middle of the night crying out of frustration b/c I got no sleep and my son was always crying. I was lucky enough to graduate from high school and because of the wonderful support of my mother and my now husband who I met 4 years ago, I will be graduating from college next year. Most former teen moms don't get to say that. Still, I didn't get to be a teenager, I didn't get to experience the college life, and I had to work my butt off to accomplish what others can do much more easily. I love my son and wouldn't trade him for the world, but he came with a cost and teens need to be aware of that. Parents should be educating their children about sex and pregnancy. And it IS the responsibility of those in the public eye to educate teens about the risks because they have the power to do so and should be role models and educate others about the mistakes they've made.
