    That's real talk son, people now a days seem to completely give up on keeping traditional family values. Marriage, children living with both their parents seems like a outdated way of living now when it should always be like that. I know marriages are 50/50 now but you still gotta try before you just decide to not get married and have children.

    I never understood why people have babies when they know they don't have the proper resources to take care of that child..........and when I say proper resources I don't mean welfare and child support.

    i dont say congrats, PERIOD.

    what is there to congrat?

    congrats on goin raw?
    congrats on ? 'n?
    congrats on that accidental discharge?
    congrats on that broken condom?

    ? and gettin a nut in is not a difficult task. no congrats should be given for that.

    congrats should only be given once your child is an adult who turned out well.

    Too much emphasis on the wedlock part and not enough placed on poor position to raise a child.

    people used to think that the proper steps were to date(get to know someone) then consider marriage then have a kid
    now its more like meet, have a child within that year breakup, repeat, maybe repeat again then look for someon to marry

    Im beginning to think all blk people think like this. Have a child as a teenager, maybe two, with anyone even a homeless crackhead will do. then try to find someone to marry. we are doomed...

    Well marriage is BS but we've been brainwashed to think it's extremely special and it's a "sin" or "wrong" to do things outside of a marriage.

    As for youngin's, I was 17 and my wife was 16 when we had our first and all is still good.

    would you recommend doing what you and your "wife" did to others? or would you inform them of the errors of your ways?

    because ur someone who don't know what life is, therefore you don't celebrate it. U don't understand that people can die, so u can't understand why some people celebrate the fact they mutiply. life to most is a image, and they are trying to obtain a image of perfection that never existed. Life to some is SHORT.

    we're at the store and she gettin a gift for the baby shower.

    im like, wtf, she gets a baby shower for being a strumpet?
    that dont make any sense. what message does that show to other girls and the girls younger than her?

    be in the streets, go raw, have a baby, and get rewarded with gifts at party?
