pergant

For a while now, I've been reading pregnant teen communities with kind of a sick fascination. Much of the time, it's like watching a train wreck. A number of the members can't even spell pregnant.

Something is seriously screwed with our educational system if kids bright enough to figure out LJ can't spell pregnant by the time they get their first period, let alone by the time they get pregnant.

Then again, the youngest mother ever was 5 years old. If they're that young, I'll excuse them for spelling it wrong.

And then you see someone who's 18, having her second child, and getting her Master's degree. Impressive.

Gee. Twisted and snarky are not valid LJ moods.

The reason teen pregnancy bothers me is because of the roll teens play, etc. And because it tends to be a result of irresponsibility more than anything else. And then we get into the bell curve issues of it all...
