ARE THEY A SCHOOL FOR PERGNANT TEENS IN TENNESSE WITHIN THE KNOXVILLE,GRAINGER COUNTY LOCATION???

It doesn't matter if schools are open or closed, the pregnant teens have already put themselves at risk. The rate of increase in teen pregnancies would make it seem that pregnancy is contageous and not the result of the act that older generations were led to belive caused the condition.

I suspect there were a few pregnancies back in your school days, but pregnant girls were often not allowed to attend school if they were "showing" enough for anyone to notice them.
As for our more coarse culture, you can thank various medias created, sold and sponsored by corporations for that. As for guns in schools, you can thank corporations for selling those too. Drugs? Well, they say that a goodly chunk of the problem today is prescription stuff flooding our society. Gee, corporations again? Who could have guessed?
I never saw a single episode of "The Sopranos", and I have never played any of the vidoe game editions of "Grand Theft Auto", but I hear that both are really somethin'.

Why are these teens pregnant in the first place. When I attended school there was not even the idea of a student being pregnant. Is it not wonderul how far we have come? We can have pregnanct teens and guns in lockers and drugs on the playgrounds and language that would not have even been used in locker rooms. We definitely need to pat our society on the back, we are doing a great job raising and educating the young people of today, arming them with such a terrific set of values.
