well....keep in mind that a lot of parents find that a touchy subject, also for the last 8 years of right wing leadership there has been a bigger push for "abstinence programs" which are totally unrealistic and idiotic. ALSO there are a lot of old fashioned parents who are incredibly repressive and eventually lead to runaway daughters but the top reason for this phenemenon, the true and most notable reason is TEENAGERS ARE STUPID. i recently finished high school and i have to say that there is no evading this truth if you went there recently. if you really want to get them to listen to this sort of thing you need to be frank with them. "When you have a baby your boyfriend is not gonna take care of it, he will dump you leaving you with a ba by you can't take care of or want to and then you'll panic and possibly stab it with a clothes hanger or you will be too busy taking care of it to get the education you need to succeed or get out of the ghetto. So even if you do take care of the child by the time he gets older your going to have a crappy job or none at all and be almost completely dependent on welfare, fulfilling yet another stereotype." this type of conversation would probably be much more effective. peace out. stop coddling them and get serious with this.
