I'm a baby-boomer and I actually became a mother at age 19. I was way, way too young and unprepared for parenthood at the time. Back in 1970 we didn't have so many options and the Catholic girls weren't given information on birth control in those days, (unless you were lucky enough to have a very enlightened mother or older sister.)
I believe that teen girls need to be taught how to make informed choices, and how to make smart decisions that will affect their future. It's part of growing up, and teenage girls need to realize that they aren't ready to be parents yet. Well maybe they think they are, but wisdom comes slowly and it comes at a price.
