i understand a teen pregnancy it's not a big deal anymore but when a 17 year old girl is pregnant with baby number 2 what is your opinion on it?
17 that means she's not even out of high school?

I think its sad. Society puts more emphasis on sex and beauty instead of education and intelligence. Parents are also to blame, kids have way too much freedom these days and parents arent taking an active role in their child's life. If children were forced to participate more in extracurricular activities and not given so much freedom to come and go as they please teen pregnancy wouldn't be as rampant.

It means both the parents and the school are failing to provide adequate sex education telling the children how to obtain and use contraceptives. Teens are going to have sex, nothing anyone says or does will stop them doing it. It is the duty of the older generations to make sure that they know what they are doing and know how to do it safely. If she is having unprotected sex - which she obviously is - she is in danger of contracting various diseases.
The people most responsible for teenage pregnancies are the religious groups that preach abstinence and "saving yourself" till marriage. It has never worked in the past and never will. By all means teach children that abstinence is good but at the same time teach them about safe and responsible sex.

my opinion is the same as all of the above. why isnt she on birth control.. is the dad the same for both? if not that also looks really bad. If i were her I would pry find a family willing to adopt the baby im pregnant with and try and move on and go to at least a 2 yr college after high school. oh yeah, and get on serious birth control

It means she isn't making decisions with her head, and that's a tragedy for the children that she is having.

Very bad. Bite me once shame on you. Bite me twice shame on me. You only live once. To mess it up that early is a travesty.
