I'm still not sure people understand the nature of their defensive reactions regarding this so-called 'sexual irresponsibility' when it's patently evident that not many people are aware of the underlying and influencing factors on teen/undesired pregnancy.
Why are so many people focusing on it, anyway? Is it because you want to look like a morally righteous person? Because it's some kind of brand of cool? Because it doesn't have anything to do with you?
Let's assume that there are cases where a teen becomes pregnant and is evidently not responsible/capable enough to bring the child up on their own, because yes, this seems to happen quite often. My first question is how is this different from an older parent who doesn't seem to know how to go about it, and my second question is what standards are compelling such a judgment/reaction.
Then let's go with the "they did something stupid." Consider yourselves, and whether you're never going to be doing stupid in the span of the rest of your life.
I bet at least some of you reckoned you wouldn't, and that's my point. Even with tons of forewarning, people don't think/aren't aware they're going to do something stupid which is precisely why in hindsight, we recognise that it is stupid, whether it's an act of sex, alcohol, violence, crime, negligence, betrayal or anything else.
