well i agree totally that we can be way too dissmissive of teenage opinions..im
thinking especially by older teenagers/youmng adults...the magical line you cross at
about 18 when anyone younger than you is a complete moron even tho you were a
bigger moron then they were...but in this particular situation isnt (shouldnt?) be
about amy being young..shes just wrong. i will admit..amy's posts always seem to have
more intelligence than you would expect from the average 15 year old but
im totally siding with leigh...bottom line should be: dont put chemicals in your body
when you are or could possibly be pregnant. i, in general am against putting
controlled substances in your body..and i try to stay away from chemicals in
other forms like preservatives in food and such..and if i was pregnant i would make
for absolute sure not to do anything that could possibly harm the baby. kids are
screwed up enough as it is. oh well there was no point to this sorry.
love
andrew
"Amy has a point. Most people wouldn't seriously consider the opinion of a
15 year old, regardless of how lucid their understanding may be. It's
actually kind of scary how dismissive of children this society is. You see
it in public schools, in so called "educational" material, or even in the
way advertisers go after the child market. I'd be more afraid of the
affects of your society on my child than shooting cocaine directly into my
unborn fetus' head. "
