Pregnancy plague on Facebook

[Cabal]

Say what you will about Facebook, but it's great when it comes to seeing the general mindset of the female species in any particular generation.

In the last year, 36 girls on my Facebook between the ages of 18-21 have become pregnant. Boasting about it like they're a celebrity in an interview with Ok or Hello magazine..

None of these people were married. Or engaged. In fact 7 of them had been together less than a year. A lot of the posts referred to they are having their "first" baby meaning obviously they plan on more.

Girls are out deliberately getting pregnant the moment their teenage years end/are ending and they have to take responsibility, because they know they will have trapped a man to take care of them. This in no way suggests the woman will be faithful to the man; all but two of these pregnancies were an 'accident' the guys were not too happy about. One guy was 19 and about to go to university; all of that crashed and burned. These woman have no care about how what they do affects their partner (in one case, a partner of six weeks!).

It's disgusting. Let's discuss.

Anyone else noticed this?

that's messed up.... seriously 36 girls? well here where I live there is a lot of christian people and stuff so even sex isn't such easy to come by... where I go to school so far I've heard about 3 pregnant girls but that's from 1300 people, about 900 girls... the age is from 15 to 19 though...

your first response when eharing such news on FB should be..."who is the daddy?" going by scientific statistics, approx 10% of them will be lying

I'm curious how many Facebook friends you have, what percentage are women, and what nationality they are.

Either way, this does not establish the percentage of women getting pregnant. I only heard of one girl getting pregnant and I know a lot of women in that age group. My last oneitis from 2011 is pregnant.

The worst thing a girl could do is get pregnant by a guy who hasn't graduated college yet. She just ruins his life, she doesn't gain anything. He has no means.

One of my friends is a teenage mother and she has about 5 teenage mother friends.

I can't speak for her friends but she is remarkably mature enough about it. She has been with the guy for about 4 years (had been with him for 1 year when pregnant) and they have moved in together, have jobs and are rasing the kid well.

There was a time, not long ago, when single mothers were publicly shunned and shamed. Today, the behavior is encouraged, babies treated like cute puppies to show off, with a fat government and/or child support check waiting in the mailbox.

The days of being raised by two parents with high moral standards are dwindling. God only knows how society will be affected as these kids become adults.

In Australia, our government pays mothers for each child she has and if the mother is unemployed, she gets extra pension each fortnight for each child she has. If she is a single mum, she gets even more.
This was designed to boost our population but all it has succeeded in doing is spawning a new generation of teenage mums who get pregnant as early and as often as they can so they don't have to work.
So now are country is full of single mums with no education and who are willing to be impregnated by any drug-fvcked scumbag with a d1ck. And they're proud of it!!
It truly stinks.

Maybe I should move to Australia.
