The Texas school where every student is a teen mother - BBC News

[@RandomPersonette]

I've always wondered what sex education is like in America, it doesn't start early enough and doesn't seem to be very comprehensive in certain parts. Also, I think its disgraceful how teenage fathers get exempted from the travails of teenage parenthood. Their families should hold them accountable too.

I agree - males are never part of the conversation. Adult males are responsible for about 30% of pregnancies involving a teen or adolescent girl, but we rarely talk about the violence of men. Instead,we focus on the promiscuity of teenage girls. I really think we need to start talking about the 25 and 30-year-old men who are getting teen girls pregnant.

There was a pregnancy school in Killeen, TX too. It’s a way to keep teen pregnancy out of the public eye in mainstream schools, but it’s also a way for the teens to still graduate. The students benefit greatly because the school staff also understand the issues that come with pregnancy and motherhood.

Hope the best for all these young women and their kids. When I was in high school in the 90s my state was the poorest with the highest teen pregnancy and high school dropout rates in the country. Out of 7 friends only 2 of us finished high school or got our GED and didn't have a child by 16. I've seen the devastating effects 20 years on for the young girls amd their kids. It's heartbreaking. One girl ended up with 5 children and no fathers around by 23. I hope this program changes things for these young women and their families.

@@balung it's actually a crazy story lol my friend was pregnant by a loser at age 15 in high school. She had the baby and broke up with the loser father and did a great job at staying away from him aside from exchanges of the child.....then 3 years later at age 19 she ended up getting drunk and slept with her loser ex one more time.....and then she got pregnant with TRIPLETS!😖😭. So that made 4 kids at 19. The doctors would not tie her tubes bc she was so young even though she begged them to. Few years later she met another loser, got pregnant again and by 23 she had 5 kids and the new loser left too, so it was just her and all her kids. (I do want to say the children are beautiful amazing souls but the circumstances they've had to endure I would not wish on anyone.)

The original story is about a school that provides pregnant teens the opportunity to finish school and offer them guidance if they don't have the help. This in no way says its okay to be a teen mom. What this school does do is help teen girls not lose that chance to finish high school and potentially go to college especially if she does not have support from the baby daddy or his family.

It's the lack of education that causes this - "abstinence only" sex education in places like Texas has caused an increase in teen pregnancy rates. How can these children possibly be expected to make responsible choices without proper knowledge and resources?

[@beckyd712]

South Texas has long had the highest teen birthrate for many years. Children having children also need education. Regular public schools do not make accomodations for pregnant students. Uneducated parents generally do not contribute to society; it behooves us all to educate young parents so they can raise their children and have some opportunities in life. I think the fathers should be made to attend these schools as well and participate in parenting classes too.

[@sebastian3217]

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Fathers should be MADE to attend these school??? Hello, theres no way anyone can constitutionally be forced to attend a particular school against their will. Also, mothers have the say whether the baby is aborted or put up for adoption or kept, so when it comes to having children, so it makes sense that they bear the most of the responsibility

[@patevans3709]

This occurs in every state! Just wait until Texas totally bans contraception--they have already banned abortions. The state government's main goals are to turn it into a Christian Nationalist society, rid their state of brown/black people, demand every resident adhere to cis-gender behavior and ideations, and dumb down the education for 'unwanted" residents. It takes 2 to make a baby--yet the males are often not identified or held responsible. I am a RN, and worked in a program for pregnant and parent adolescents--we had MANY students as young as 9 yo. They are babies themselves! If you do not allow age appropriate sex education instruction in school, kids will not know how to prevent pregnancy--and it is NOT being taught at home! When you have very young pregnant girls, the fathers are usually family members or family friends! We need far more programs like this! We need to help these girls--and we need to break the cycle of adolescent pregnancy and poverty!

Girls should be taught to keep themselves till marriage. The consequences of premarital sex is mostly borne by the girls. Keep yourselves girls...when you get married you can have all the sex you want and even get tired. Sex is designed by God to be enjoyed by married couples. It's sad that this is not taught to many girls in the western world these days.

[@deianogueira1]

I'm sorry but boys are part of this too. Stop putting all the responsability on the sholders of girls. Also, good sex education, with facts and how to prevent pregnancy are a better options

[@amaraokonkwo_]

@@deianogueira1 A guy (someone who was like a brother to me) told me years ago, when we were doing our complusory national youth service in Nigeria, that as a lady I should be incharge in my relationship with boys/men. Men do not respect any lady or girl who doesn't have boundaries. Also, it's easy for men to detach themselves from babies. A mother is much more attached to their babies, so eventhough you hold these boys responsible, they won't still be the ones to physically care for the babies. It's always a girl or woman's instinct to nurture and care for babies. So no matter what we do, it is still the girls that will pay the highest price of premarital pregnancies. I will still stand on what is best - which is the commandment of God- keep yourself till when you get married. Sex was designed for a man and woman who have been joined together legally as husband and wife. Men & boys (to a large extent) only commit to and feel responsible for anyone when they are married. There's a saying, there's no need to buy a cow if the cow keeps giving it's milk for free. Finally, it is actually difficult to stay sexually pure these days but anything is possible with the help of God- through His Son Jesus Christ. I myself am a living testimony that it is possible. Did I face temptations? Yes of course but God showed me a way of escape when I asked Him to help me.

You just said that some of these girls' own mothers went to this school. That does not sound too successful. The lady admits that only 50% finish high school and 10% go on to college. What jobs are the doing, hotel maids? farm work? fast food? Child care? And you are trying to pull this off as a success.

It is here in New Zealand. In primary school, children are taught about correct names of body parts and having self respect and good self esteem. Puberty lessons start about age 8. Sex education starts about age 11, and is very open, honest and detailed. Children are welcome to ask any questions. They are taught about masturbation, contraception, consent and healthy relationships. Honestly kids know about all this from the internet anyway. I'm glad that school teaches this stuff.
