Teen pregnancies are not new in the world. So why do you think there is still such a taboo about it? It's been happening for years, yet girls are still looked down upon by some people in society.

I have been there, so I certainly don't judge :) Just because you are older, doesn't make you a better person to raise a family.

I believe that there are some really caring teenage mums out there, who fell pregnant by mistake and now have a responsiblity for at least 18 years of their life. What I don't agree with is, how some people consider it a career as the Government will continue to pay them to stay at home and pop out children. Especially when they bought out the baby bonus and were paying them $4,000 in one hit. Thank god they changed that..
Children are expensive and not a form of income generating via the tax payer.
There are those who know that to get ahead in life they will need to finish their education or find a job and thats okay to get supplements as they are low and single income earners.
But it should not be up to the taxpayer to fund an ongoing lifestyle..
