[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was not at all unusual where I grew up (small town, Midwest, corn fields, nothing much to do). There were always several really pregnant girls walking around my high school. They weren't shunned or anything. The high school faced reality and added a baby care class for the girls and boys who were soon to be parents.  The babies could be brought in for that period and the soon to be parents could practice diaper changes and such.

I'm sure some of the girls opted for homeschool but that certainly wasn't because they weren't accepted. As far as I know, those pregnant classmates are generally doing fine now, 20 years later.[/quote]

this is why we need to bring back shame.  There is no reason for a teenager to get pregnant these days.[/quote]

SHAME?

When did shame become a form a birth control?[/quote]

I'm Asian and honestly think some non-Asian Americans could use some shame. Stigma can be purposeful for keeping young people on the straight and narrow. There's a reason why Asians don't have many of the social problems that plague other races. [/quote]

I’m Thai and find this statement highly insulting.  Teen pregnancies amongst educated, middle/upper middle class girls are almost unheard of because being proper and well behaved is expected.  If you’re talking rural village girls, that’s an entirely different thing.  And all the girls in the sex trade are rural village girls.[/quote]
