Preggers!!!

Some things you don't rush into. Buying a car. Accepting a job. Getting married. Choosing a school. Lending someone cash. Converting religions. This is usually considered "normal" behaviour. Another thing that most people would add to the list is getting pregnant.

Pregnancy is a strange thing, sometimes. The joy of life, parenthood and all that is often harped upon; almost as much as the dangers and consequences that the youths of today are bombarded with even before they get hit with the era of puberty. Little kids who believe that Dora the Explorer is an actual person can name you the various anatomical differences between guys and gals.

Most of us wouldn't be here if pregnancy hadn't occured, of course. Life is a sexually-transmitted disease, as the saying goes, and pregnancy is its first symptom. This condition is usually brought about after the exchange of certain bodily fluids in heterosexual relations, in most cases. Theoretically, it would be possible for two people of the same gender to "conceive" a child, though I don't think it's ever been done. Not that it's never been tried before...

For many (unmarried, unemployed) people, pregnant is something they don't want to be. Active or not, it's something gnawing at the back of their minds. It's the perennial "What if..." that may or may not cause them momentary hesitation or periods of grief and stress as they await the arrival of something they usually abhore.

For some others, however, it seems that being pregnant is a dream. Of course, you would sympathise with the family who've had three miscarriages already. Or the aging couples who just want a little one to smile at and laugh with. But what about 15-year old Victoria?

Now, the above begs the question, "What's gotten into her"? And before the smart-mouths out there say "Oh, three guys..." I already thought it first, so don't congratulate yourselves too much.

Seems like the rather ghetto teenager simply has to get pregnant. Not so much the desire for sex, but rather she wants a baby. Her crying mother looks on as she describes her brilliant and well thought-out plan of taking care of the baby, at 15, by prostituting herself and with the "ton of baby clothes" and "three extra pacifiers". Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's one of the stupidest things I've heard since Mutant-X.

Don't even get me started on the question on how she's going to prostitute herself after giving birth.

Of course, more than a few people would say the whole thing is fake, or staged. Same people who hoot triumphantly whenever they state the same over similar "talk shows" like Jerry Springer. Personally, I have an inkling towards this idea as well, if only because that damn girl just sounds too... too... too black. Listen to her. She sounds blacker than anything. Now, this isn't in any way racsist or discriminatory, but it's just plain fact. Like how only large-boned African-American women can sing like Aretha Franklin.

Still, it makes you wonder. If that story is true, what the hell is going on inside the head of that girl? A few people would jump at the chance to.. well, jump her. Others would be disgusted. She wants to be pregnant. At 15. Wrong? Natural? Immoral?
