    American girls must be really stupid if they base their behaviour on movies. Did the success of The Graduate start a generation of young men/older women sexual relationships? LOL!

    Here is another article about it:
    Pregnancy Boom at Gloucester High - TIME

    "They're so excited to finally have someone to love them unconditionally,
    And Digg's discussion of it:
    Digg - Dozens of high school girls make pact to get pregnant

    It has nothing to do with the system but more to do with sh*tty, neglectful parenting. Parents too busy chasing the almighty dollar usually.

    In the movie 'Juno' pregnancy is portrayed as something that could be shrugged off. A no-big-deal. Let's have un-protected sex and if I get pregnant, it's okay, some loveing couple will want to adopt my baby...

    ... NOT!

    I hate hollwood for that. Maybe in the glamorized life of a celebrity it wouldn't be hard at all to have a child and actually support it with their millions of dollars. Unlike them, 'lower-class' citizens don't have the dough to invest 1 million dollars into a nursery. Golly, if I had a million dollars... the possibilities.

    Does hollywood think that teenage pregnancies are that easy?

    Lets make a movie about middle to lower class teenage girls getting pregnant and trying to survive. That's real life.

    I loved that movie!
    I'm sure that there are young men/older women sexual relationships going around (infact we hear it every so often) but it isn't an epidemic.

    Movies don't influence people as much as you think they do. Did Trainspotting reduce the number of heroin users? I don't think it did.

    Also liked that movie as well...
    It was really freaky.
    There are still heroin users unfortunately.

    There is a fine line between hollywood and reality.

    Why are teens so immature in a era of information?
    Because their parents don't hold them to any sense of personal responsibility--and part of THAT is because society (and even the kids themselves!) will call CPS if a parent tries to discipline a child.

    I've been advocating the idea that in order to get Welfare, you must have a job and a high school diploma or GED for years.
