Jamie Lynn - another great role model for young girls

The idea of a supprt group doesn't sound too bad to me, but the FIRST thing that would need to happen is that the father-to-be get a wake up call (i.e. a swift kick in the nuts... metaphorically speaking, of course).

This proposed support system would have to first make sure the father had the maturity and discipline to be a fathter, and if he didn't, then it would need to be equipped to help shape him into one.

As far as teenage pregnancy, I'll never agree that it is entirely the male's fault. It's 50/50 anyway you slice it (assuming both are teenagers... in the case of some letcher taking advantage, that's another situation).

Anyway, our legal system is supposed to operate on a "case by case" basis. If the father can demonstrate a true, legitamate intention to take proper care of the mother and his child, then I see no reason to lock him up (provided he actually follows through).

In fact, the threat of retro-active jail time for NOT taking proper care of your baby and his/her teenage mom might actually help the problem.

Obviously, I'm a grown man now, but I was raised with my sisters by a single mom, who worked two and three jobs at a time to provide for us. My dad was a dead beat, and my mother was always hoping that there was a man out there that would treat her, and us right. She had two serious relationships while I was growing up, but neither worked out.

In anycase, I had to learn a lot of lessons about being a "man" (as opposed to a male human being) quite late in life (figuring things out as I go along, basically). There are just some things that a woman cannot teach her son.

Sending a WILLING father to jail is a virtual guarantee that the mother and child will go through something like that.

If it were my son who got a girl pregnant, I would start off with the aforementioned swift kick in the nuts, and then I'd take him out, buy him some dressy clothes, hand him a shiny new pen and drop him off downtown and say: "I'll be back in six hours. You better have no less than 10 job applications filled out by then."

If it were my daughter who got pregnant, I'd find her boyfriend, and pretty much do the same thing, and I'd tell her that she needs to start working (she's only got nine months to make something happen) to save up as much money as possible.

Whether it was my son or daughter, if I saw that they were committed to this child and the other parent (at least as far as agreeing to raise the child), then I'd match whatever they'd saved up.

If they were slacking off, I'd take them both to court and have a custody battle for the child (hopefully before the child is born, it can be resolved).

I think its sad that kids that age feel like they are mature enough to be sexually active.

I have 3 daughters (oldest is 16) and the thought of something like this happening makes me cringe. I can't imagine being put into a situation where I am raising my grandchild.

I have had several "Talks" with all 3 of my girls and hopefully they will make the right choices. (fingers crossed) I also am very strict with them when it comes to dating. I would not allow my 16yo to go out with a 19 yo unsupervised.

I met my wife when I was 21.. and she was 16. We got married when she was 19 and I was 23/24. We didn't do... much untill we got married :wink:

May sound scary but not uncommon in the community I grew up. I know a few couples that got married when the girl was 18-21 and their husbands were 10 years apart :eek: Yes, this was all consensual, and no I'm not Mormon.

Those guys will have it good for a long time :tongue:
 
Anyone got any pics of this young slut? Im just kidding :wink: I dont believe I've ever seen her:biggrin:
 
Oh, forgot what this thread was even about...

Perhaps an unpopular view, but they've been together for over two years according to the short news story I came across, since they were both minors, and the age difference is only 3 years; My parents are 6 years apart, and have been happily married for nearly 30 years.

Sure, they have limited plans for the future, but many young couples that are of age have even less plans, and it seems the TV cash this girl has will go a long way towards securing at least some degree of future for her and the child. It seems as though her mother supports her, the boyfriend's family supports him, and there is very little at issue here, except for those who try to press their morality on others. I can see how this situation may be frightening to parents of daughters in the same age bracket, but, ignoring this, what is the fundamental issue here? The age difference is not that severe, they seem to share long-term feelings for one another, and she has opted to have this child, rather than have it killed.

It seems she is taking responsibility for her actions, however unplanned they may have been.

I agree with your rational response. The usual knee-jerk reaction is that someone is gonna kick the father's a**! Despite all the macho talk, this rarely happens, mainly because it would be illegal assault, and not that many people want to do prison time for assaulting the boyfriend. (The few who do try it seem to end up on Springer.) Every generation acts like a girl being pregnant is somehow shocking! when the fact is that youthful pregnancies are as old as time - human nature never changes. Young women have been having babies for thousands of years, and will continue to do so for thousands of years. We will continue to freak out and then get over it for thousands of years.

I have a daughter in the same age bracket. A teen pregnancy frightens me, but the best I can do is to promote early abstinence. How successful is early abstinence? Probably less successful than it has ever been. Teens these days have become hypersexualized by the internet.
 
You guys are bad...

This just went from sad to pathetic. If some old fart really knocked her up, I really think they should throw the book at him. :frown: An 18 or 19 year old with a 16 year old while illegal in many states, is still very common, but throw in a 40 year old in the mix and you have a sick pervert. Yuck!

I can tell you, that as a former 17 year old dating a 15 year old, when I turned 18, the thought of statutory rape never entered my mind. I probably speak for 99.999% of all 18 year olds. I swear, if Britney's dog was caught humping a lawnchair it would make news these days. It is just sad that the topic at hand...teenage pregnancy, will most certainly get lost with todays media. By the time she has the baby, God knows what other crap they will dig up. Maybe some parents will take this as a wake up call and sit down with their kids.

In high school, I always figured 13/14-18 was free game as a high school student but Jr high was a no no and 19 was dependent on the other person's age. Maybe I'm weird like that but high school was game on time as long as the person wasn't freakishly abnormally young.

ah wtf am I saying. cause there are situations that always brings up exceptions to what I just typed. 9th grader with a 8th grader cause they dated in Jr high together before one of them to high school, etc etc.
