From what I can tell by looking at all these questions and answers, teenage girls (starting as early as 13) are getting pregnant. Whatever happened to waiting till adulthood. For pete's sake, if I had had a kid when I was 13, my parent's would have killed me. Why would teenagers want to start having kids that young. It's like...seventh grade. To make matters worse, there seem to be a large number of pregnant teenagers. Are you concerned?

Yeah im worried,i think alot of it is all because of what the media and hollywood is pumping out and force feeding us basiclly brainwashing young americans garbage.The stronger ones will see the madness and disgust in some of these sick tv cartoons and tv shows and turn out fine. But so many kids are taking the hollywood mass media bait and follow along and just don't care and do want ever they want and when ever they want.Just watch some of these music videos, that there is just one small example of sex being pushed upon young americans.Other sources are from magazines,internet.And i also think kids need to have required uniforms in schools that would help out a great deal because younger girls are dressing and showing way too much skin at a very young age and it does'nt belong in school anyways.

Young people are bombarded with twisted views that encourage sexual activities. Many are led to believe having their own children will free them from their parents. They believe they can live off entitlement programs and do not have to work. The media raising up so much tension clouds their judgment and they take refuge in blocking out the world and just trying to have as much fun as possible before the big bang. I am very worried about the future.

Yes, it does concern me but, they are not becoming pregnant because they planned it or wanted a baby. It happens because they are not mature enough or responsible enough to have sex. So many kids nowadays start dating at 12 or 13 years of age.

Their acting more mature with all the techonology they get. Cell phones, PCs, balckberries, and whatever the newest trent is. I graduated in 2003 and I saw a definite change in HS from 1999 to 2003.

Nah...every generation always thinks the young people are just going to hell in a handbasket. They'll get a little smarter as they grow up, and will turn out fine.
There sure are some stupid little snivel sh.its out there, though...

Frantically so.
And they don't seem to be able to express themselves with any degree of maturity
