Teenage girls earn extra cash for college -- as long as they don't get pregnant
When Mia Hubbard of Greensboro, N.C., enters Wake Forest University next fall, she'll receive a little financial boost from the nonprofit support group she joined in seventh grade.
For six years, Hubbard has belonged to an adolescent girls' group called College Bound Sisters, which focuses on fellowship, goal-setting, age-appropriate sexual education and getting into college. Hubbard will complete the program by graduating high school and enrolling in college. At that point, she'll receive a stipend of more than $2,000: a dollar for each day she's been a participant in the group.
There's just one minor caveat. The deal's off if she gets pregnant while in the progam.

It sounded really rediculous when I read the title, but its not so bad when you actually read it. It basicly comes down to the girl being paid if she behaves. It may not be my personal way of stimulating positive behavour, but I cant really get angry over it either.

Yeah I got pretty excited about it for a second thinking it was going to be some weird thing, but it's not... although much better than the news stations who tell me they have great secrets but I have to wait through six commercials breaks to hear about some shitty tool that some investors developed.

Some girls just can't keep their pants on, if you know what I mean...
I know teen mothers is a problem but if you don't offer help from both sides (boy and girl) there is no reason for the guys to care.

Well I think guys should automatically get money because I'm pretty sure I won't be getting pregnant. And if someone paid for it I would take some classes....

Some good fathers are created this way, but these guys are rare to come by. Becoming a father after making a childish mistake takes a huge boost of maturity. Yet there are those success stories where the father takes good care of the child.

I don't think having sex necessarily makes someone immature.

That's not what I meant to say. I meant to say having sex as a kid (still in school with a job that pays minimum wage) is stupid.
