Don't talk to her she's in a slump Have you seen her belly bump? Its beyond belief that she's so young What kind of family is she from Doesn't she have a mom and dad Where were they while she was bad She'll never finish her education That poor girl she needs salvation What about the father does she know his name She was probably promiscuous oh the shame You've studied together well not anymore I won't have you friends she is a whore Ma'am you're wrong and need correction Those other girls just use protection And some get caught.. Go to the clinic You're uniformed don't be a critic I was the girl who caused that scene Yes I was pregnant at sixteen I had much love from Dad and Mother A family as good as any other I was with one boy Not several more We were in love I was no whore My parents said you have an option You can give him up for adoption If you keep him you'll stay at home You're too young to live alone Yes I was blessed with that curse I went to college became a nurse Raised my son he's now thirty five My parents love taught us to thrive Not everything is as it may seem When a girl gets pregnant at sixteen...

Well said, but you were right on the money! Females were designed to best give birth between the ages of 13-16 before their bones have set, and the quality of sperm rapidly declines once a lad reaches age 18. Stupidity declares sex among teens illegal, resulting in defective children being born to those who choose to wait until after they are 21! Aloha! Rico
