All I can say is wow. This actually grosses me out. Not so much the fact that this fifteen-year-old girl was even dating a kid who's thirteen (but was 12 when they had sex), but as the article says, looks more like he's eight. Where I live, she would be in grade 10, he'd be in grade 7. That's like, some of those girls at my school going out with my 12 year old brother! EW. Anyways, it's more the fact that they had unprotected sex, got pregnant, and didn't get an abortion that grosses me out. It didn't say in the article from The Sun if they were religious or not, but come on. Maybe I just think it's absolutely wrong not to get an abortion if you're young, especially as young as them! If you think about it it's just saving that kid from a bad life to begin with. Plus I cannot grasp any of the reasoning religion has against abortion, and other things, so I won't get into it.
It's obvious this kid does not know what he's getting into. In the interview he's asked "What will you do for money?" And he just shrugs his shoulders and says "I dunno." He and his "girlfriend" are relying mostly on their parents. I just do not see how this is going to work out for the good.
Haha, I also read this, and no offense to anyone from Britain but I thought it was funny and icky at the same time: "The UK now has the most (and the youngest) teenage pregnancies in the world. (More than the USA and Asia). Britain is often referred to as the 'horny nation'..."
Nice to know the US isn't screwing up completely.
*sigh*, then there's even this.
"Last night Michaela Aston, of the anti-abortion Christian charity LIFE, said: “We commend these teenagers for their courage in bringing their child into the world.""
How can you "commend these teenagers" for their courage? They kept the baby because they're stupid and irresponsible, and had no clue of what they were getting into. Gah.
Anyways, enough rant on that. It grosses me out, and kind of makes me mad at the same time, for some odd reason. But whatever.
Now, about those poor people in Australia. I have to admit I'm usually pretty ignorant of the problems of any place that isn't near to where I live. But I truely do feel bad for the people who're going through those horrible fires in Australia. These pictures from The Big Picture really made me feel for them. They kind of showed me how serious it really is over there. Not to mention all of their wildlife. Whenever I think of Australia I always think of it as a nice place, not just view wise but even the people. I have no idea if the people there are polite and nice (like us Canadians, wink wink) or not, I just get that impression from the things I hear about the place.
I hope they get things under control and start rebuilding soon. : (

So less depressing news stories I want to talk about, and more about... uh, well my boring life. I got my hair cut today, because it was getting long and really ugly and eew. I got it differently than I usually do, but I loove it. Now I just need some different colour, or maybe just recolour of what it is. Then we went to Red Lobster. I think it was for Valentines Day tomorrow. I'm sure there was some reason, my dad isn't the type to just take us to an expensive restaurant like that for no reason. Then the Niagara Square (actually we went to the Niagara Square first because when we went to Red Lobster the first time it was packed and there was a 20-30 minute wait. When we went back we didn't have to wait at all for a table, and not very long for the food either.) We pet bunnies and a guinea pig. Looked at some birds and talked to a lady who thought the rats were gross. Haha. Then we went searching for a belt for me since the one I have isn't small enough. Well the only ones in the first store were all too small. Then we stopped at one of those vendors in the middle of the hall and the lady (who had some sort of cool accent, yet I could still understand her) tried to help us find one. But they were either too small or WAY too big. So no new belt. *sigh* My pants will just continue to fall down slowly during the day.
Well now I'm all out of things to say, so I'm off.
