We shouldn't punish kids just because of irresponsible parenting or circumstances that are out of a person's control.
Since when does it take 2 parents to mentor a child. Every parent makes time, even if it's 30 minutes a day. You make time for your children; which is the exact point I was bringing up this entire time. Parents today do not parent enough, they do not make enough time for their children and to talk to them.

Education should start at the home and unfortunatley it's not, but you know what kids aren't stupid either. They would have to lead a very sheltered life to not know that if they have unprotected sex that there is a chance they will get pregnant. You act as if all teenagers are so naive.

Parents need to make time for their kids. There are NO excuses for this.
