Topic : 12/27 Runaway Dramas

I think it's time for Heidi to step up and take some responsibility for this.  she lets her daughter onto myspace with no supervision.....her daughter gets pregnant, and now they want to dump the little "problem" with a nice infertile couple who are just waiting for another old right wing man to convince another young teenage girl to give up her child.  Sick Sick Sick.  If you ask me, just as sick and the guy who had sex with the teenage girl in the first place.  They try to make "mom" out to be this holier than thou mommy who loves her "baby" so much?  what a laugh.  if she really loved her she'd step up and be a grandma instead of trying to make it all just " go away".  Yup, put  the guy in jail, and dump the baby in a strangers' house to raise.  Sound like a great "life plan" Dr. Phil.  

HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER SAT BACK AND REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR LIVES AS THEY ARE NOW?  DO ANY OF YOU EVER THINK "IF ONLY I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW?"  I AM 27 YEARS OLD AND I WAS A VICTIM OF STATUTORY RAPE WHEN I WAS 15.  IT WAS MORE THAN "STATUTORY" TO ME, BUT BECAUSE I KNEW HIM (HE HUNG OUT WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE I DID. PEOPLE RANGING FROM 13YRS TO 19YRS, EXCEPT FOR HIM. HE WAS 24) IT WAS RULED AS "STATUTORY". MY LIFE CHANGED DRASTICALLY AFTER THIS HAPPENED.  MY EMOTIONS WENT CRAZY.  I STARTING THINKING OF SUICIDE.  I HATED MYSELF FOR LETTING THIS HAPPEN.  THEN AFTER A WHILE I LEARNED TO EXCEPT IT AND MOVED ON WITH MY LIFE.  BUT THE ANGER, FEAR AND SADDNESS DIDN'T GO AWAY.  I DIDN'T SAY "NO" TO ANOTHER MAN UNTIL I WAS 21 YEARS OLD.  I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I NEVER GOT PREGNANT AND I NEVER (THANK YOU GOD!) GOT ANY STD'S OF ANY KIND. I AM NOW A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON.  I MET MY HUSBAND WHEN I WAS 22 (HE WAS 25) AND LIFE HAS BEEN GREAT EVER SINCE.  HE WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING OF MY PAST AND HE KNOWS HOW MUCH I WOULD LOVE TO CHANGE THOSE 6 YEARS OF MY LIFE.  I HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY. 

IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, I NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE.  AS I SAID BEFORE, I AM 27 YEARS OLD NOW AND I AM STILL LEARNING ABOUT LIFE'S LESSONS.  IF A 15 YEAR OLD CHILD IS GOING TO LOSE THEIR VIRGINITY IT SHOULD BE WITH ANOTHER "INEXPERIENCED" 15 YEAR OLD.  IT IS VERY VERY WRONG FOR AN EXPERIENCED ADULT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE (YES, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS) OF A CHILD.  THAT CHILD MAY THINK THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, BUT THEY DON'T.  AND FOR AN ADULT TO INVADE IN ON A CHILD'S INNOSENSE THAT WAY IS SICK AND WRONG.  CHILDREN NEED TO LEARN AND EXPERIMENT WITH CHILDREN THEIR OWN AGE(BETTER YET, ABSTAIN COMPLETELY UNTIL MARRIAGE).  NO MATTER HOW OLD A CHILD IS, MATURITY WISE, THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FUTURE.  AN ADULT HAS BEEN THERE AND KNOWS WHAT IS TO COME FOR THAT CHILD.  IT  IS WRONG AND VERY UNFAIR TO THAT CHILD.  THERE IS A LOT OF "BAGAGE" THAT COMES ALONG WITH SEX WHEN YOU ARE NOT READY FOR IT.  TEENAGERS NEED THOSE YEARS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY WANT FOR THEIR FUTURE.  THEY SHOULD NOT BE THROWN INTO THE "BAGAGE" OF SEX BY SOMEBODY WHO ALREADY KNOWS WHAT IS IN STORE FOR THEIR FUTURE.  YOU CANNOT KEEP THESE CHILDREN FROM DOING WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, SO THE ADULTS NEED TO BE THE "ADULTS" AND DON'T GO THERE.  DON'T HAND THAT CHILD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MESS UP THEIR LIFE.  LET THEM LIVE AND LEARN WITH PEOPLE THEIR OWN AGE.

You are as wrong as the original poster!

Why do you think there are laws on the books about adults having sex with young teens? It's called RAPE and it's illegal!

Children, even if they BEG for a sexual relationship, are still emotionally and LEGALLY children. It's up to adults to act responsibly (and LEGALLY) and stay clear of young people who are easily swayed and manipulated. Sadly, so many young girls aren't getting affection and care at home that they believe everything these older, scummier men have to say!

Sorry, but that's not acceptable...and it's not LEGAL. PERSONAL RESPONSIBLITY has to do with ADULTS, not kids. Kids will always be dumber, easily swayed and gullible; that's why they're called CHILDREN!!!!!
