    Now this is called news as well as the storys about the Presidet and other things that happen. This is a great consern about pregancy among teens, I know that there are out there girls, young little girls who become pregant at the age of 12 years old. And I wont lie I well tell the truth. The other day my son told me they think that my granddaughter is going to have a baby and she is only 13 she just trunned 13 in June.
    What a surprise this was to me, I ask them how they knew and said they caught her with a 27 year old man, well you no gradnmas I got so upset and ask them but how do you know she might be pregant? and they wouldnt answer me but still lets the man come around. if it was left up to me he would be doing time in prison for messing with a 13 year old baby. So this is huge concern and as parents they shold do something about it. I would if I could but being the grandmother my hands are tied but it dose not stop me if I see him.

      Goes to show who is in the way of parents that need to be allowed the ability to parent their children...we never wanted a government in the United States...that would prevent us from raising our own children.

      Babies having babies. Too many times I hear teens say my generation morals and principals are "old school".
