[B]It is illegal to have sex before the age of consent. Obviously kids break this law and never get punished. Why do we even need this law if there is not going to be any enforcement? That is my argument.
Shouldn't we be discouraging kids from having kids?
Yes, we should and that is taught.
I am not saying that teenage mothers are bad ones, I am saying there is an increased health risk to both mother and child if she gets pregnant during her teenage years.
Read this site for proof -
I was a teenage mother and I had no health problems and my children have been perfectly healthy. As for parenting classes I attended those to help me be a better parent on my own. After you arrest the teenage parents what are you going to do with the children?
