Massachusetts Teen Pregnancy Pact: Unlucky or Morons

Glosslip's been railing against this upsurge in unmarried pregnancies in Hollywood for a while now, and then to make matters worse, we had Jamie Lynn Spears who gets pregnant at 16 while still starring on her Nickelodeon show "Zoey 101". We haven't even bothered to mention the explicit sexual content on teen shows, movies or sitcoms. And let's not forget the over-sexualization of young girls as exhibited by Disney's "wholesome" young women like Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens, who've both had risque photos leaked out on to the web. But now, we have these numbskulls in Massachusetts pretty much bragging about having sex before they are even adults and out of high school.

The above video interview with one of the 17 pregnant teens who is part of the alleged "pregnancy pact" and her 20-year old boyfriend (she's 17) illustrates what's wrong with today's society. Kids who think it's perfectly acceptable to be having sex, getting pregnant and dating guys who aren't even in high school anymore. And when they asked the expectant 20-year old father why he thinks there are so many pregnant girls at his girlfriend's high school, his response is "they're unlucky I guess."

Unlucky has nothing to do with it. How about just plain old irresponsible and immature. That's what these girls are and the boys who had sex with them. I know teens have sex and sometimes people get pregnant, but this is getting to be regoshdamndiculous.

I blame Hollywood, a lack of family values and plain old-fashioned lazy parenting. Man, do I sound old and out of it.

Oh, and don't get me started on that condescending dickhead interviewing them. Those two knuckleheads are lucky I wasn't interviewing them, they'd both be in tears crying to their mama. I do NOT play.

Parenting isn't "FUN" y'all. It's hard work, it's a thankless job much of the time, it robs you of your youth (and sometimes your will to go on) and in the end, assuming you do an ok job, you get to spend your retirement on sending these "blessings" to college.

Sure it's an important job that needs to be done, and that's why it should be left to adults. We're already miserable, what's some barfing, pooping, sass-talk and sleep-deprivation?

I can hardly stomach the blatant stupidity of these kids.
