What is this world coming too?

During lunch I sometimes go into my Core teacher's class with my friends. Mrs. Dodds is way nice and a little bit crazy in my opinion, but My friends and I usually find out important things ahead of time when we go and visit her. One time we found out our big writing test results before anyone else, and I also was the only one who found out which kids got what parts in our production of Romeo and Juliet ahead of time. But back to the point, what is this world coming too? While in the classroom, Mrs. Dodds was curious what the top 25 teenage books were, so we looked it up. Of course Breaking Dawn was on the list, but most of the others we had never heard of. And we were in for a big shock when we started reading the previews it gave about the books. Number five on the list was about a girl who got raped and pregnant, and about her struggles and how her supportive boyfriend and parents help her get through it. Actually, most of the books were about sex. I also forgot to add that teenagers rated these books theirselves. I mean seriously, do no teenagers actually not read that stuff besides mormons? And I bet lots of mormons also read that kind of crap. There is a 16 year old girl who lives down the street from me and she rides my bus. Can you guess it? Yep, shes pregnant. I feel so bad for her because you can tell that she is struggling and wondering how she ever got to that point. And last year there was a girl in my PE class who got pregnant and was gone for half of the school year. And she was only in eighth grade, I'm as old as her when she got pregnant. Thats hard to believe. I just hope that no one I know personally ever gets in that situation.
