Questions to kick it off:

1) What would you do if your daughter(Or some theoretical daughter you may one day have) got pregnant at, say, 14 or thereabouts?

2) Do you think this is actually anything new, or just the way it's always been, but less socially acceptable and less easy to cover up these days?

3) Do you think there's anything to be done, or is it just human nature?

4) Do you think these girls are making a terrible, stupid choice or that it's perfectly legitimate to decide that you want to be a mother in your teens?
1) Put her up for adoption.

2) I was under the impression that a couple hundred years ago 14 was the average age women got married/had children.

3) I'd say only dumb kids want to get pregnant on purpose at that age. Any kid that received a decent education would know this isn't a good idea. Oh well... more trailer trash.

4) A terrible choice.
