Damage on Repeat

The teenager who thinks life will get better when she gets pregnant is an at-risk child who just wants something to have. There is no thought as to what this will mean for the child growing up to teen parents with no place to live and no job prospects on the horizon. You can't support a child braiding hair, and crashing at other people's houses, I want to tell her. But it won't do any good. She's been lied to and abused her whole life thus far, and so the generational flaws repeat.
