I completely agree. There's a girl who used to go to my school who had her first child at 16. Since then she's had two more with a different guy, and the first is now looked after by her mother. I think that it's all about whether people put in the effort. If you give your child 100% then of course your kid is going to end up a better product than if you only looked after them half-heartedly.

- its all about responsibility and how serious you take being a parent.
I think nowadays most teenagers don't realise the difficulty of being a parent, or what it entails, as we're at that point in our lives where we feel like we don't need authority. We're less likely to sympathise with parents at this age, which to me, gives the impression that we may be worse at being parents for that matter. Nor do we really understand the value of life anymore. It seems like so many people just make children nowadays with no consequence to their actions.
