Couldn't have said it better myself. =) This is the best post in this thread. Seriously, reading through this thread made me wonder how a lot of you can have so much compassion for fish, but none for people. What would you do if your kids were in the same mess? Throw them to the streets, let them handle it on their own? Throw your grandchild out there like that? Not me. I'd be mad, yeah. Ripping mad. But I would help them. Make sure my kids finished their educations so they could get good jobs to be able to support their kids in the future without my help. It's called breaking the cycle. If you just send kids on their own to raise their kids, how do you think that third generation will turn out? They'll do the same thing. When life is hard, vices are key. And let's face it, sex is a vice.

My step sister was 18 when she had her son.... and Yes her mother threw her and her 2 week old son out on the streets in December no less. She walked 5 miles to my house in the snow with only the clothes on her and his backs. So yeh it does make one a little less compassionate about people sometimes

I know what you are saying, butif I had kids, I would make sure they didnt get into that mess in the first place.

=3 Good point about the fish. Problem with 'making sure' is that you can't make sure of something like that. You can do your best to hope they learn what you try to teach them and abide by your rules, but in the end it is up to them. If it was that easy, we wouldn't have these kinds of problems.

How would that make you less compassionate? If anything, seeing something like that happen so close to home (or literally in your home) should make you feel for these people and understand why these things happen. I am from "the ghetto" and it's all around me. Friends, family members, neighbors. My mom's best friend's 15 year old daughter just had a baby last month. I could (and often do =X)say a lot of bad things about my mom's best friend and her parenting abilities, but at least she is supporting her daughter and loving her no matter what. Puts a warm spot in my heart for her where there otherwise was not one.
 
i think the whole thing is shameful. it's a sign of the degradation of morals in our society. sex at such a young age when there is a risk of pregnancy is just the warning sign of it.
