Everybody acts like 17 girls is alot. Well It is for small town schools. I go to a high school in detroit and out of the 500 girls in that school 50 of them are pregnant.

The media really isn't poorly organized at all. A handful of companies own most media outlets and have a stake in controlling most of the information out there. I think the media could do well with less organization and centralization and more public input as opposed to private (corporate) interests.

While I agree that the teens are primarily responsible, as only they have the ultimate ability to make their own decisions, the media most certainly is at fault. People are hugely influenced by their environments (nature and nuture, all that jazz), and the mass media has become a large component of the modern environment. The media is immensely powerful, and generally, they seem to deny this fact, and walk around like kids with WMDs. I'm just glad that the media is as poorly organized collectively as it is. It would be a truly scary thought if an entity with an eye for shaping the direction of society could control a significant section of the media. Perhaps I have a new goal...

I so agree with you, Maddy. I was dumbfounded when I learned this news, which is why I've been curiously silent about it. Besides, I'm a mom and no one listens to me, EVER.

these girls still are dumb for getting pregnant in high school, pact or no pact. the baby borrowers is premiering tonight, if i had a daughter i would force her to watch. no way i'd let her make the mistake these broads made. it's on nbc at 9.

Juno was the worst movie I saw in theaters in a long time (and yes, I'm aware that I'm the only one who thinks that) You're not. I hated it too. Good article, too. Very insightful.
