WHY IS IT MS ONLY COME IN AT FIRST PLACE WHEN ITS NOT A GOOD THING, LIKE OBESTY & TEEN PREGNANCY, WHY NOT SOMETIMES DWELL ON THE GOOD MS HAS TO OFFER, WE AS PARENT NEED TO TRY HARDER TO PREVENT ALL OUR TEENS, FROM BECOMMING PARENT, AT THOSE PRECIOUS YEARS THEY NEED TO ENJOY.AT MY HOME, WE HAVE FAMILY MEETINGS WEEKLY, WHERE THE KIDS CAN SAY WHAT ON THEIR MINDS, WHAT THEIR CONCERNS ARE ANYTHING THAT THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT. AND MY CHURCH HAS MONTHLY RAPP SESSIONS WHERE THE KIDS MEET ON SATURDAY MORNING, AND FREELY SPEAK OUT ABOUT ANY TOPIC. MAYBE IF OTHERS TRIED THIS. WE COULD BE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST FOR TEN BIRTHS. BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING WORST THAN A BABY HAVING A BABY.
