Thomas, the mother of two, is not working and said that by the time she enrolls in school, she will have to drop out to have her baby. She is, however, in a twice-a-week literacy program working toward her GED.

She can't read but she can have babies. I think I see the problem here.

But don't you dare try to tell her that! I wish I had a dollar for every young pregnant girl who, upon being confronted with the irresponsibility of having children without the means to support them, suddenly got a don't-tell-me-what-I-can-and-can't-do-who-do-you-think-you-are attitude. The fact that many people tolerate (and some even promote) a culture among young people today that creates this problem just turns my stomach.

Oh, and my normal reaction to the don't-tell-me-what-I-can-and-can't-do-who-do-you-think-you-are attitude? I'm the one with the college degree and the job...
