"I've been crying every day and every night. I keep on blaming myself for this," said the 18-year-old Selby, who is six months pregnant.

all too often it's the system, the parents, tv, movies and music

Quote:

Abstinence-based programs have been growing nationwide at schools over the past few years. In Ohio, the Bush's administration and the state's health department have awarded $32 million in grants to Ohio agencies for abstinence education since 2001.

$ 32 million to teach abstinence, and where did it get them?
Wake up America - abstinence is not the answer. Proper
sex education and easy availability to contraceptives for teens is the answer.

I truly hope this will be a wake-up call for parents, teachers,
schools and legislature throughout the nation.
