More than ever, the men are expected to support these children, so I think the boys need to be given the birth control lecture as well.  But girls, we do pay a bigger price and therefore need to bear the bulk of the burden. I wish that parents would give the same emphasis on birth control to both sexes though, and it would be easier for the girls to insist on protection.

But then again, there are a certain group of women who just breed indiscriminately.  They seem to have no regard as to how they will provide for these children, and then they become everybody's burden.  I just don't know what the answer is, because most of what we should do ends up with the children paying the price.

My mother believes that some people have no souls and are "alive" only to serve those who do have souls.  She calls them props.  I call her mentally ill.
Well, I tend to consider some people "not plot-important in my life", "fodder in my life", or even "NPCs". Though to be fair, I do questioning myself whether I am mentally ill or not.
