Questionable Prom Favor

If you consider not becoming a grandparent while your kid is still in high school a “favor,” then you may not be opposed to the parting gift being handed out to some Brooklyn teens attending prom. According to reports, students at Bedford-Stuyvesant Preparatory High School in Brooklyn, New York, will be offered a unique party favor upon leaving prom next month – a free condom. The school’s principal, Darryl Rascoe, told the New York Daily News that hundreds of condoms will be made available to students on the night of the big dance. “This is necessary,” Rascoe told the newspaper. … Continue reading →

Thinking Twice About Teen Moms

“There’s nothing more dangerous than a woman with a child.” I love that. If you are a mom in any capacity–biological, step, adoptive, or otherwise–that quote is likely to resonate with you in ways that are hard to articulate. Incredibly, the words were uttered by a mom of just three months, who just happens to be… 18 years old. Who says all teen moms are like the ones portrayed on MTV? Sarah McKinley is turning the teen mom stereotype on its head, thanks in large part to the courage she showed on New Year’s Eve. Courage and quick thinking which … Continue reading →

Less Money, Fewer Babies

While MTV and Dr. Drew would love to take credit for the dip in teen pregnancies, experts believe the poor economy is the reason fewer babies are being born in the United States. According to a government report released yesterday, there’s been a major dip in the number of teens and females in their early 20s giving birth. In fact, the federal study found that pregnancy among young women has fallen to the lowest rates since record-keeping began in the 1940s. The startling statistics published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has financial experts crediting the slumping economy … Continue reading →

“Teen Mom” Star Avoids Jail

… for now. Proving that you don’t have to reach the age of maturity to become a parent, MTV “Teen Mom” star Amber Portwood is back in the headlines following her arrest for beating on her baby daddy Gary Shirley. The reality TV starlet pleaded guilty earlier this week to two counts of felony domestic battery and showed her two-year-old daughter why she shouldn’t follow in her mama’s footsteps. Thursday’s plea signified a major change in Portwood’s original argument that she was 100 percent innocent. In December, the 21-year-old mother went public decrying her arrest for assaulting Shirley, her on-again, … Continue reading →

The Not-So Sexy Side of Teen Sex

You had to see this one coming. From the very first minute I saw Dr. Drew Pinksy’s new primetime HLN show last month, I knew it would be just a matter of time before his peeps from MTV would show up to chat. For the record it took exactly 29 days. The good doc had to wait less than a month to parade out the mega-popular teen moms, who went from complete obscurity to tabloid fodder after getting knocked up by their boyfriends, and letting MTV document the tumult that ensued in the series “16 and Pregnant” and the spin-off, … Continue reading →

Parents with Parking Privileges

My daughter cackles like Woody Woodpecker each time I drive past the stork parking spaces at Wal-Mart and suggest she get back into my tummy, so that we can snag the sweet spot. It’s a great joke. Kind of. Maybe. Ok, I’m not really joking. I really wish the kid could crawl under my shirt so I could pull into the first stall… but only during the winter months… and when I am in a hurry… and during the back-to-school sales and… Who am I kidding? I would love to bypass the jokers in the parking lot, who drive like … Continue reading →

Can Breastfeeding Reduce Teen Pregnancy?

According to a new report, women who were breastfed as babies tend to get pregnant later in life compared to those who were bottle-fed as infants. If that’s true then my daughter shouldn’t expect to get pregnant until she’s in her forties. That kid nursed 24/7 for the first 18 months of her life. Give or take a few months. By my calculations that means she won’t be procreating until she’s well past her teenage years. Then again, perhaps, I am reading too much into this new study. The published report in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B shows … Continue reading →

Jamie Lynn Spears’ Baby Daddy in Car Wreck

Britney Spears’ almost-but-not-really brother-in-law has a cracked skull. At least that’s what one media source is reporting. Casey Aldridge, the father of Jamie Lynn Spears’ 10-month-old daughter Maddie, was reportedly injured in a car accident early Sunday morning. According to police reports, the 19-year-old was driving his Ford F-250 truck when he lost control around 1:30 this morning, and drove off the shoulder of a Louisiana highway. Police say Aldridge’s truck flipped over and he and his three passengers sustained injuries. There are conflicting reports on the severity of the teen father’s injuries. One report claims Aldridge suffered a “cracked … Continue reading →

Sarah Palin’s Future Son-in-Law Breaks His Silence

The Juno of Juneau’s baby daddy is talking. Levi Johnston (a.k.a. the teen who impregnated Sarah Palin’s daughter) is finally setting the record straight. In a new interview conducted by the Associated Press in the driveway of his family’s home in Wasilla, Alaska, Johnston is spilling the beans about marrying the governor’s daughter, Bristol, and becoming a dad at 18. In the interview Johnston maintains that he was not forced by the Republican vice presidential candidate and her husband to marry their pregnant 17-year-old daughter. Rather, the hockey-loving teen says he intended to spend the rest of his life with … Continue reading →
