> Young girls getting pregnant is nothing new

When I was in school, a pregnancy was shocking and almost unheard of. For a class of about 400, there were zero pregnancies in grade school, zero in junior high, and one in high school. I suppose this reporter would think I grew up in the Jurassic era.

The difference between then and now is liberalism. My generation was taught the difference between right and wrong. Liberals say there is no right or wrong, everything is relative, do anything you wish -- and they added sex education to teach kids how. Liberals threw out all the moral rules given us by 3,000 years of Western Civilization. Then after doing hell's handiwork for a century, they wonder why the country is going to hell.

YES....a pregnancy for a young girl used to be scorned...and looked down upon....now it's celebrated...(NOT ME, not anymore, by the way.) Creating little bastards has become a business for lots of agencies to take care of, IMHO.

Early childbearing is a feature of Mexican culture. Once, these girls would have been married at 13 or 14, under the control of men who expected them to be domestic slaves while the men slept around. In some ways, they're better off than their grandmothers would have been - they're in school (hopefully learning to read), they're not married to machitos and slaving for mothers-in-law. There's a possibility that they could get a real life.

If the schools want to do anything to help, they shouldn't be handing out contraceptives so the girls can be used as whores. They need to be teaching them there are possibilities in life other than being a doormat, and (lest we forget) providing a decent education instead of drivel.

You summed up the problem very well. Multiculturalism is just the latest euphemism of the left for the elimination of any traditional sense of morality or ethics.

I am not all that old, but I remember when my girlfriend told me that she and her boyfriend were sleeping together at his house after school, I honestly thought that she meant that they were taking naps.

No napping in New Mexico.

Ditto that. My high school, from which I graduated in 1986, had one pregnancy .
