Sex for dumbies....

Okay this is insane! At my school we now have 5 girls that are anywhere from sophomores to seniors that are pregnant! Do they not know what causes this...and that there are ways to prevent it! Where are there mothers!

I am almost 28 years old and I am already worried if I am ready to have this baby! I can't imagine if I was 17! They don't have a care in the world about it though. they are still to caught up in their own little world saying things like "I'll have the baby in time to play basketball in the fall", "I won't have to worry about it for the first few months, it'll just sleep anyway", "We're going to get married, everything will be perfect", "My mom will take care of the baby, she knows how to do all that stuff"..........WHERE IS THEIR SENSE OF REALITY! At what point do they realize that this baby isn't going to be like all the other dollies they play with!

I worry if we will be ok financially, about buying the safest car seat on the market, about eating a balenced diet and exercising, starting a college fund, which baby monitor is the best, what toys are best for brain stimulation, and...even if we will be good parents...

When will all of these worries kick in for these girls? Will they get past their selfish high school selves to realize that soon life will not be all about them?

I'll get off my soap box now. It just breaks my heart that they are so nieve and clueless.
