I'm going to show you one of the biggest reasons why teenagers and other young people with no maturity and no money get married or have babies.  I see it on my Facebook all the time.  I'm about to show you a specific example that demonstrates this well.

-By Caleb Jones

For those of you old enough, think back to the 1950s, 60s, even 70s or 80s.  What happened when a teenage girl got pregnant back then?  What happened to her social life?  Her family life?  Her school life?  Were people supportive of her decision?

I went to high school during the late 80s.  Not that long ago.  There were about 1200 students in my high school.  I remember a grand total of three girls who actually got pregnant, did not get an abortion, and had a baby.  In all three cases, the girl was immediately considered a slut and a whore and too gross to even hang out with by boys and girls alike.  In all three cases, the girls suddenly vanished out of the school, never to be seen by the students again.

That's why only three teenage girls out of 1200 had babies. My memory is that there were a grand total of two girls during my four years in high school who actually got married by age 19.  In both cases, everyone ridiculed these girls as being stupid.  Kids made fun of them merciliessly. That's why only two teenage girls out of 1200 got married.

Last year I was out with a 19 year-old girl.  She was a normal girl from a typical, middle-class, white, suburban area. She said of the seven close girlfriends she had, five of them already have babies.  This is the norm now.  Let me show you why.

I'm going to paste a real group of comments from someone's Facebook page below.  Let me give you some background to put what you're about to read in perspective.  This certain someone is an 18 year old girl who was a virgin two months ago.  I'll call her Suzi.  She now is dating a guy (who I think is 20 years old).  A musician. Which is another word for "no money".  Her relationship with this new guy is less than one month old.

This morning she changed her FB status from "In a relationship" with him to "Engaged". These are the real responses she has received so far in less than 11 hours.  I have not changed anything except for removing the names and irrelevant posts.

And this, my friends, is why teenage girls do such stupid things.  When they announce they're getting married or they're going to have a baby, they are showered with positive attention by everyone they know.  This includes their parents, by the way, who will support the happy new "couple" financially (was well as any children that result).  You can see how Suzi is drinking up all this positive attention and loving every minute of it.

(You're probably thinking that she may not even end up married.  Possible, but that's not the point.  It's also possible the only reason for the engagement is that Suzi is pregnant, which makes all of this even worse.)

I see this stuff on Facebook and in real life all the time.  I'm sure you do too. Rewarding bad behavoir creates more of it.  If everyone celebrates stupid irresponsible behavior, that's what society is going to get more of.  Sadly society has sacrificed this concept on the altar of "being nice". The real tragedy here is five to ten years down the road, when Suzi is a bitter, jaded, near-poverty single mother, she's going to blame her situation on "men".
