You were fortunate that your family was supportive; however, there are a great many young ladies whose families are not supportive. Their families are destructive.
A co-worker of mine who had a child out of wedlock grew up in an abusive household, with a drunk mother and a stream of "boyfriends" (one of whom sexually abused her at 6 years old, only to have the mother defend the creep!). Thankfully, in between the parade of booze, drugs, and boyfriends, she was married for a short time to a decent man. My co-worker went to live with him for a while, and considers him her father (even though he is no relation to her).
Sadly, folks, there are some real horror stories out there. Families so disfunctional it would make your head spin. Entire neighborhoods where life skills and job skills are simply frowned upon or mocked, so they go unlearned and untaught.
Our kids are blessed, really, to be raised with parents who actually cook a meal, have clean clothes for school, who make sure they do their homework and know where they are when the lights go out.
If we don't get to these young ladies know, and empower them to turn their lives around, we will condemn not just them - but their children, as well - to a lifetime of sub-par existence. And, ultimately, we will pay the price. In taxes, crime, you name it.
But we will pay.
Yes I understand many are not as lucky as me. I get tired of being included in the horror stories. There are MANY of us who have have success stories but you never hear about those. I refused any “government help” as it was a trap then and still is. I did much better staying away from “professional” community helpers.
