why is it that the younger you are now the sooner you need to have babies? Really my recently turned 16 year old brother had a baby 2 monthes ago and now wants another one!!! what the hell is wrong with him really? He only has been with this girl for 10 monthes too! And she is a huge *****. She is controlling and evil! Wat is with kids today?

I was just having the same conversation with a friend this morning. We were trying to figure out when it became ok to have a baby before having a husband. Why is it cool to have a boyfriend and a baby? And just who is supporting these children? Is your brother holding down a job to buy diapers and formula? Is she holding down a job to buy diapers and formula? Are your parents and her parents stuck with the burdon of another family to support? Are your parents kicking your brother's behind to support his child? I'll guess that either the parents are footing the bill, or we are, with welfare and wic.
Welfare and WIC are two very important programs and I do not begrudge anyone assistance when they need it. However, 16 yr olds belong in school not in someone's bed!! As my kids get older my friends are encouraging me to change the shift I work...they tell me my kids are old enough to be home alone. And they are, just old enough to be home while I run up the street to take one to dance, or to the school to pick one up after an activity, for a few unscheduled minutes 30 or less it is okay. But the older they get the more I feel I need to be at home to be involved with all that they do and who they are associating with. Call me crazy, but I don't want to be responsible for my grandchildren yet. And maybe that is the problem we are not makeing these kids RESPONSIBLE for their actions. I am a parent...not my child's friend...not yet anyway. When they are grown and gone then we can be friends...till then: PARENT. And maybe that's the other part of the problem.
Maybe you should talk to your brother...ask him how many diapers he has bought and changed. Make him think about what he has really done. That child needs his father...to be a father not just a once in a while buddy. Maybe if he starts to take responsibility for his child he won't want another one right now. Someone should talk to him...

It's mainly because of their parents and people like me.
Back in my day (not too long ago) I had to be halfway through my teenage years before I even considered the possibility that I had a particular liking for the opposite sex.

It's not really the kids it's mostly the parents and all of these people who don't believe in spanking their kids. So they are raised up to feel no remorse when they do something wrong, and there is no consequences. People just let their kids do whatever whenever and let them run them and that's why this world is filled with a bunch of bad a** kids.(I spank my kid by the way, when he's naughty)

Judging by your spelling and grammar, I'd say you're rather young too. Don't you think it's a little hypocritical to say what you are? So all teens (or young adults) are irresponsible except for you?
I agree that it is out of control, but you need to think of what you are saying. Don't stigmatize all young kids just because a few have screwed up.

That's not really fair, not all "kids" are like that.

kids today think that if they bug you enough that they will get whatever they want. if your kids start bugging you alot then punish them until they will ask politly.
