Get off the crack pipe before it''s too late.

What did I not spell correctly?
-----------------
Take your previous message to school and show it to your English teacher. Ask the teacher what you spelled wrong.

I bet your still a virgin.

And you don''t know how to spell.

It shows what''s more important to YOU.

Really, it''s the grownups fault. They''re the one who allow so much sexxual content in entertainment and the media. Kids are exposed to so much, they get confused and don''t know right from wrong.

So the bottom line is, she had a BAD TEACHER. That''s why she did it.

Give her a break. She''''s only 17 and made a mistake. You can tell that she is really sorry. Leave her and her baby alone.

It was an accident. It wasn''t her, it was somebody else. Everyone else was doing it. Stop everyone else from doing it, then she won''t do it.

She didn''t realize it was wrong. She didn''t know anybody would mind. OK, now she knows it''s wrong, she promises she won''t do it again. She deserves a second chance. Maybe now she''s learned from her mistakes. She older and wiser now, punishing her for learning from her mistakes would only send the message that she shouldn''t learn.

She forgot she wasn''t supposed to get pregnant. She didn''t realize boys could make her pregnant. Nobody told her that getting pregnant would make her have a baby. We live in such a sexxually repressed society, teenagers are deprived of getting enough information about it to make an informed decision.

Maybe if grownups weren''t so uptight about the subject, teenagers wouldn''t feel the need to rebel by doing it against their parents'' wishes. Wouldn''t it be better if we didn''t have so many prohibitions that make it like the "forbidden fruit," which only encourages youths to experiment and explore?

These and many, many more ridiculous exuses can be heard EVERY DAY by the parents of any teenager...

This story is really sad. Have you guys heard of that show Baby Borrowers that is coming out. It''s supposed to educate against this sort of thing by giving kids to teen couples. I''m not sure how effective it will be but I''m glad to see new ways of trying to talk to teens because stuff like this should not happen.

I agree that the media and it''s coverage of all celebrity pregnancies glorifies them and makes them seem like this fantasy. And with movies like "Juno" and particularly Jamie Lynn Spears highly publicized teenage pregnany it''s giving the wrong impression to teens. The teen pregnancy and STD rates are sky-rocketing in this country. I saw previews for this new NBC show called "Baby Borrowers" where they teach teen couples who are wanting babies a lesson by making them take care of babies, toddlers, pre-teens, teenagers, and elderly. It seems like an interesting social experiment and one that might have a positive effect is teens can see how difficult it really is. Too bad the show was too late for Jamie Lynn.

Go check your facts. Bonobos do not engage in *** all day long, only infrequently and casually. They do, however, use *** to resolve conflicts. The main reason they don''t kill each other is because the females rule the communities.
