This doesn't justice how funny it is. Basically the girl gets pregnant and doesn't tell anyone and she is a Catholic.

It is most definitely because they want to have unconditional love from their kid.

One of my friends wanted a kid at the age of 13 because she wanted to have that love. But she thankfully waited until later with a guy who loved her and their kid to have one (but she was still 16). She's expecting a second child now.

And now one of my other friends has been TRYING to get pregnant for about a year or so because they want that love too, even though she picks pricks who don't give a shit about her or the kid they would have, and would definitely not pay child support. Thankfully she has miscarriages =|

It doesn't mean that much to me,
Sometimes I don't mean that much to you
And I don't even know what I'm hiding for...
And I don't even know what I'm crying for...

Um, hi, Juno gave her baby up for adoption, and the couple in Knocked up were in their late 20's. How are those kind of movies responsible for more teens planning pregnancies? I mean hey, if there was a rise in adoption then sure, blame Juno. But why would that be a bad thing?

It's really clear in Juno that she knows she's not ready, and right from the beginning she knows that keeping the baby isn't an option. All these girls getting pregnant on purpose clearly don't have any plans to give their children up for adoption, so I don't see what Juno has to do with it.

Anyways, that's my Juno rant. I don't claim to know why every teenager decides to get pregnant, but I think there should be younger sex education, younger parenting classes, and more easily available contraceptives.

I COMPLETELY agree with your last paragrah. The reason I put the movie Juno as one of the polls selection is because I've been hearing it everywhere, and thought I'd put it up there. So, I agree with you there too.

My mom goes on and on about Juno, and it pisses me off, because she's so clear about not being ready. It's not like she planned it or anything.
