it's all about personal responsibility. all of us go through it. once we have established personal responsibility, then we take the consequences for our actions, we get help, figure out what the problem is.............. or join the cellar and whine ad nauseum.

Gha! Impossible....Spanish stuff freaks me out and you got "Suspendí el español tres veces." written next to your name...as far as I know that might say "I want to cook and eat your eyeballs in your brain cavity!" |

I suspended the Spaniard three times.
Still says nothing to me! It might as well mean "I want to eat your eyeball brain soup out of your skull!" |

isn't tube tying relatively permanent? what about when the girl gets her shit together and is actually ready to rear a child? I am refraining from judging april's ability to perform said rearing, in this case, but wouldn't an ounce of prevention (as opposed to the pound of prevention that sterilization represents) be more appropriate?
as far as baby eating goes, i'm against it. they give me gas, ......and a modicum of guilt. why not donate them to science? or a reality show? food for thought pun intended

It's not permanent; (it CAN be) but generaly it is not.
Strings are tied over the tubes. Thats it. The strings can just as easily be untied. I am not a doctor and I have not done research on this recently but thats what I know. |

Of course, nobody's saying that she should have it done _to her_; for obvious reasons, it has to be a voluntary choice. But it's a damn fine suggestion, as is giving copies of Tube-Tying For Dummies as Christmas gifts to her teenage kids, or at least a couple of cases of condoms for each (which'll also help keep them from contracting something nasty). |

You'd be surprised how many women under 25 would love to get sterlized. They are more focused on career than childrearing, and that's why many wait later in life to have kids, or opt to have none at all. The thing is that many doctors will not perform the procedure because THEY think that the girl is too young, she'll change her mind later, etc. I'm on a newsgroup of childfree folk, and many of them are young girls asking how to find doctors that WILL perform the procedure, no questions asked.

So it's not so easy to get tubes tied. Not that I don't think it's a great idea... having one baby so young is a mistake (or plain stupidity) and having more babies after that so young is straight up stupidity. note: before everyone freaks out about my use of the word "mistake", I don't mean to imply that the child has less worth, but that the parents in question made a mistake, be that in "I thought babies were cute, and I wanted one as a teenager" or "I chose to have unprotected sex."
