My point exactly. Parents can teach children their beliefs...but when they walk out of the house, they are their own person.

Some 17 yr. old may think that a certain life style is OK because of what they hear, read and see people in the news doing. But, I personally don't think it is the majority of teenagers.

I don't believe that this pregnancy that the media has decided to put 'in everyones face' is not as important, nor will it 'give' the teenagers an OK to do certain things. What the rock/music/Television stars sing, wear and act on a daily occurrence are much more influential
