I guess you can argue that having a baby while financially dependant of your parents is a good idea. I guess you can argue that the added stability and security can add up to a safe environment when growing up. I guess you can also argue that having a baby at an early age will add several years’ worth of maturity the moment a small head peaks out and draws breath. But I am sure that none of these thoughts crosses a fourteen year old girl's mind before she decides to get pregnant. OUT OF BOREDOM!

I cannot even begin to contemplate what goes through a young girls head at the point where thinking ‘babies are cute’ equals ‘I want to have a baby’. But perhaps it’s a natural progression from seeing that hot celebrity with the ridiculous mini-dog tucked away in a thousand dollar bag with a ten thousand dollar collar. They do tend to produce babies just like the rest of the adult population after all. ‘I want a dog like that’ is similar to ‘I want a baby like that’ I guess…
