It’s not popular to talk about nowadays, but some old fashioned morality would solve a lot of these problems.
As far as responsibilities are concerned, it is good for people to think about, what if she gets pregnant? The burden falls more on the female, I understand that. But both should think about, what if something happens they didn’t intend for? Are both, especially the female, ready for that life altering event?
Young women follow the worst possible examples set for them in film, tv programs, and all over the MSM. Women in those films and programs, etc. often are able (without public assistance) to bear children out of wedlock. But women and girls who follow that example, think they TOO can live totally without a concern for supporting themselves and their children.
They have completely forgotten about waiting until you can support a family BEFORE you have one. Besides... they firmly believe that the US taxpayer must support them and their children.
I was always taught that ‘if someone supports you, they OWN you, too!.’ So I guess young people have no pride and of course NO shame or they wouldn't permit themselves to get into that kind of situation, and worse yet, bear children INTO it. SHAME
