Working in the emergency department of our local hospital, I see so many young girls ranging from fourteen (14) and older having babies while still being babies themselves. Some are going on baby number two. Although I don’t feel like they are necessarily throwing their lives away, they are definitely making high school and the continuance of a college career a challenge. One could say this is where, between being married young and having babies’ young, the age old saying “barefoot and pregnant” comes into play.

I have read the material and have tried to apply the five components to wise judgment that is discussed by Baltes and his colleagues.

THe World State doesn't want people to give their people responsibility because they want, “Stability, No civilization without social stability.

The creator of the show, Brenda Hampton, said that the original title was The Sex Life of the American Teenager. In fact, it would not be surprising to find that many viewers would agree that such a name is much more fitting.

Statistics show that New Zealand has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the world, with around fifty girls in every thousand falling pregnant. Of these pregnancies, about half result in abortion. An advantage of putting a parenting licence in place will be to educate these teenagers on basic parenting skills to qualify them to raise a child, avoiding such abortions.
