Children born for what? Violence and torture against children is a fact to which we are witnesses, even if we do not want. I have seen children beaten, made to beg, crippled or abandoned by parents. If you want to be a parent but you do not have security for the future of your child, then I think you should to think twice before you give life to an innocent beings. Child care should be a priority. What you think about this? What should be done to prevent negligence and carelessness of the kids?

:cry:

I'd say about 80% of the human race shouldn't be allowed to breed, especially the poor/jobless/stupid people, they're more likely to physically abuse their children, I saw some idiot chav pick his kid (must have been <2yrs) up by his throat on Saturday and then blow smoke from his cigarette in his face, Not fun to watch

I wouldn't say "stupid" people, I think people that do things like that are just evil/mean. You don't have to be overly intelligent to be able to give a child a good life. As long as you really want to have the kid, and are willing to do all it takes to take care of him...you're qualified. (well as long as you can pay for it too as that's an important part in our society sconfused )
The problem is that people sleep around far too much without being cautious and get unwanted pregnancies. And a lot of times the new parents are still kids themselves :roll:

As most issues in life, things aren't as simple as that.

As far as the money issues go, income changes within ones lifetime. A couple could be perfectly stable when they first have a child and 10 years down the road both have lost their decent paying jobs. So, they went from being able to provide the necessities and more to barely making it paycheck to paycheck and just providing the basics. Sure, they could have some fault in losing their jobs, but is it their fault that their financial future, much like the rest of ours, isn't/wasn't 100% sound proof?

When it comes to aggressive parents, there's obviously no excuse for that. But, it's not as if all parents seem aggressive or see themselves as aggressive prior to having a child. Unfortunately, a lot of people with bad tempers and aggression problems don't notice them themselves. So, they don't always have a child with the intentions of using them as a 'punching bag' someday down the road. Again, I'm not saying that it's ok to hit, etc a child.

And an underlying issue there would be that some parents don't believe or approve of the school boards offering sexual education classes in school. Not that these classes are the end all, cure all, but I'm sure they help in the long run. I'm sure we'd all be baffled by how many young teens, etc don't really understand, as well as they should, how 'things work'. Obviously they can put the basics together, but a good education in anything always makes for better and more informed decision making.

There's a bunch of different underlying issues. We could all sit here for days and talk about this stuff.

I think the underlying issue in a lot of teen pregnancies is called alcohol :wink:
Sexual education classes are obligatory here, and it doesn't seem like that makes much of a difference stongue

I don't disagree, but alcohol isn't the only cause for bad choices. stongue Lack of knowledge is still a problem, in my opinion.

Yeah, well... shush! smad

You never know, it could. :laugh: If it's mandatory, then you don't know... teen pregnancy rates could be higher there if it wasn't mandatory.

Doesn't take much knowledge to know how babies are made? sconfused
I don't really think it's lack of knowledge, teens know that if they sleep around with a bunch of people and aren't careful enough and use protection...there are consequences.
Maybe they don't believe "it'll happen to me" or whatever but I don't think sex education classes would change that attitude much sconfused

Maybe, but I don't think it'd make much difference personally :twisted:

My theory...people are annoying scool

No, the basics concept is fairly understandable. :laugh:

Eh, I still think teens need to be provided with the knowledge. I know most people understand that unprotected sex leads to babies and protected sex tends not to. But, there's more than that that people need to know. Like, there's other 'birth control methods' that some couples chose to follow outside of birth control and condoms. Those birth control methods tend to not be overly successful. So, taking a class where the teacher talks about those things and verifies that they indeed aren't a sound form of protection is definitely not a bad idea and probably beneficial in the long run.

Maybe yoiu should explain? In case somebody doesn't know? :wink:

Well yeah, information helps a bit. But I still don't think it's the root of the problem sconfused
