Why oh why does the government give teens free houses and money for getting pregnant? Everyone wonders why there are so many teenage pregnancy's in this country (UK)
Why does the govt. give these teens free council houses, £500 maternity grant, a wage each week etc etc when they do absolute jack s**t?
from a teens point of view it's cushtie..... they're say 15, bored, hating their parents etc & think "i know, i'll have a baby and get a free house, loads of money..." & so on, not thinking once about the poor little babies their bringing into the world!
Now i'm not saying every teen is like this but it's a FACT most teens have babies because they get all this free stuff and have to do absolutely nothing!
I was 17 when i had my daughter, who's now 7, but me and my hubby worked our arses off to provide for her, we saved and saved until we could afford a house of our own & continue to work so we can afford our guyren...IT CAN BE DONE! i'm now 24 and have 2 more guyren, i'm so fed up with these teens doing NOTHING & getting everything! why is it fair they do.. | I agree with you about how unfair it seems that certain people work hard to keep their head above the water and these scroungers get to sit on their lazy bums all day, swigging beer, smoking cheap fags, leaving their poor sprogs to drag themselves up. But i have to say i wouldn't want to swap shoes with them at all. Most of these live on rough council estates, their homes are dirty, they mix with bad ppl which means their poor guys will grow up rough, likely criminal and not well educated.
Im not saying all will be like this, the odd few will come out ok but i grew up in these areas and this is what its like.
Luckily i got out of it, married a hard working guy we bought a house together and i also worked until i became pregnant and lost my job unfairly, the government paid me £100 maternity allowance a week which has stopped now, and we got the £500 maternity grant due to my hubby being on low income.My baby is 8 months and im about to start working again as we are struggling to pay a mortgage and bills.
But i know my baby is very well looked after, living in a decent friendly neighbourhood, will go to a good school and not have to be associated with the people i grew up around, and hopefully she will be able to have ambitions that she can achieve, you'll notice council estate ppl just mimick their parents instead of bettering themselves.
So just feel proud that you are not bringing your babies into that world. | Know where i can get some cool free stuff by mail for teens? Please help me out with this someone!!!? You know in fan clubs, they use to be cool and all and would send you things by mail. Well, now they only rely on email. But does anyone know where i can get some free stuff, whether it be on a site or by a free fan club?
For example, peta2.com gives packages of free stickers and other things to promote vegetarianism. My mom always said take whatever is free haha, plus im bored and i would really like to know some cool stuff. Whether it be videos, magazines, anything like that.
Oh and anything like related to extreme sports would be good too. Wakeboarding, surfing, bmx, parkour and so on. But if not, just music, movies, or anything free! Even dumb things like petas package (no offense to vegans)
Give me some sites, or tell me where i can get some. Please save the smart *** remarks for someone else. Im not causing any harm. | What came to my mind is to organize a way for teens to earn money and buy products offered by groups who help save animals instead of getting free stuff. Making and delivering free items takes away from the actual caring of animals which is very expensive. Thank you for caring!

oceana.org | Why Do Teen Welfare Bums Make So Much $$$$ ? Can anyone explain to me why, in Canada anyway, a teen mother who sits on her *** all day gets more money (and lives better) than I, a working person does? I have worked hard for years, and like most lower-income people, find myself struggling sometimes to afford things in life. Yet my upstairs neighbour, an 18 yr old single mother, always has plenty of cash. I was talking to her one day, she said she gets about $1,600 a month from the government, plus her guy tax credit, plus guy support ($400). She has never worked a day in her life and has no plans to. She has a grade 8 education, and was given her own apartment by Guyren's Aid at 16. Technically she isn't on welfare yet, Guyren's Aid (CAS) will provide her this free existence til 21, providing she's in school. She isn't, just gets correspondence books from the school and doesn't even have to work on them. She hasn't earned one credit in 2 years. She is constantly going shopping, comes home in a cab frequently laden down with baby items and new clothes for herself. Always getting take-out food and trunk loads of groceries, when I struggle to do these same things WORKING and contributing to society. She even gets a TAX REFUND!! How the hell is that possible, she doesn't pay taxes, she's given free money to stay home with her baby while the tax payers foot the bill. She'll never work, she as much as told me that. (Why would she? The government will pay her more than she needs, and she gets to stay home for the next 18 years.)Yes, I know it must be hard raising a baby alone at this age, but she wants for nothing, has every need provided for by CAS and doesn't have to pay a single bill. Can anyone tell me, is the system like this in other parts of the world, or are we in Canada just far too liberal as far as providing teen moms a free pass in life? It would give me hope to know it wasn't like this all over the world!! | | Don't feel bad for you dear, feel bad for her. What kind of life has she had, out of her parents home at 16 and already a single mom at 18 - you should feel sorry for her. No plans of college and no education. You are struggling now, but i gather you're on a path to success. You'll see the difference in five years...... keep your chin up. Trust me once that guy becomes school aged - she'll struggle - what is 1600 a month. Are you in college - I hope so because no matter the profession with a college degree you'll make double that in a month or more - By the way, you say she always has money - you might be surprised to know how she gets it - hmmmmmmmm Your life is better Im sure............ | Where To Find Teen Bloggers? I'm hoping to speak with teen bloggers about the social-network for social-good I've been launching called JackTheDonkey.com, the community where your time online supports the charity of your choice.
JackTheDonkey.com is a community like Facebook and other social networks where you can "be social" with new and old friends alike. A big difference is that we donate 1.1 cents every click of the mouse to your choice of more than 20 charities from Canada, The US and UK...the number of clicks and how you create them is up to you. jackthedonkey.com/Organization.aspx
To help drive a bit more buzz for the charities we give a poop about, this year, I am living buzz free, and perhaps making an *** of myself, as part of my personal challenge to go all of 2011 without cutting my hair or shaving as part of OneYearNoShear.com for the charities we give a poop about on JackTheDonkey.com (now with iGiveapoop.com promoting indie music that drives change to the charities we give a poop about).
Why am I doing this? Because thisassgivesapoop.com and knows you do too.
Would love to chat with you further (and would also appreciate you joining our growing community today: jackthedonkey.com/Register1.aspx).
Thanks David,

deviantart | Teen pregnancy...........? Why do some teenagers think that they will receive free money if they're pregnant? I have seen some question like what kind of money do teen get if they are pregnant. I mean, If you want money then work you *** for it. No one is going to get you free money for nothing. | | Because more than likely they CAN because they are minors. WIC and DSHS (free medical), and EBT. Don't be so condescending about their situations, because I'm sure if YOU were pregnant at the age of 15 (random age I put), you would be NEEDING all of these benefits. | Paris hilton a role model may ***...? hopefully this sentence for paris will teach all the lil teen girls that think she is so awesome realize that just being pretty and trendy and rich is not a get outta jail free card.. who agrees? | | She is a spoiled little brat that needs that arrogant chip knocked off her shoulder. | The young teen iraqi given 2 million? what the hell is this all about ?...how could we let this happen?....our troops and the troops from the US put there asses on the line everyday in iraq and afghanistan ....they are killed or badly wounded on a daily basis ..do they get 2 million quid in compo??..NO....so why should some snot nosed sponger ..come to our country ...get free healthcare ...and free housing get 2 million quid for doing NOTHING????.....where is the justice in this?? why should he get the life of a king while our troops and there familys get next to sod all ??? sorry if it seems like im ranting....but i would like to know who the hell agrees with me on this... | | i totally agree with you! damn b*sterd, they should have shot him in the head not the spine! | RHH: Give me some feedback on these lyrics......? Rate comment, and do you think it should be one whole story or separate verses.
I heard he was the talk of the town, so I came around
to listen to his lyrics, and envision his sound
Vocals were astonishing, a breath of fresh oxygen
watching him in the hood the crowds stood acknowledging
In amazement, he was the poet of the pavement
With a brave wit, if Hip-Hop is dead, he can save it
Voice is music when it's heard, the prophet of the streets
Absurd treats of word, like Easter sweets, lofted over beats
A resurrection, through every section it was heaven sent
In the next election, I nominate him for the president
Like Eric B, and to see him was like to view Rakim
They said he's next coming, that's what I feel I heard them humming
And dude was pretty real; I think they're for real on to something
Talking about he was great, had more than few blocks rocking
Even with a bad state, you'd never catch rate of his stock dropping
Plus he stayed true to himself, drew attention with massive skill
and, his soul he would never sell to get mass appeal......
Studio time was driving things closer to a record deal
Every time he blessed the mic, he gave the right type of feel
A rappers delight, took flight to a newer height
A truer light and only a few could view the future sight
Or had an idea about what was destine to be
He tested at a degree that had yet to be let free
Still a teen but his style was rather clean
And behind the scene, he was just a guy with a dream
But without a team, he chose to go alone for real
Got a call on his phone it was known he has shown his skill
A big company they said they liked his vibe as whole
Gave him a paper with a line for him to sign his soul
The fine print was not shown, he had yet to dance wit the devil
To him the industry wasn't know, far advanced pass his level
His crystal ball now got rearranged his destiny in all changed
But in his mind at the time he didn't now what he was
About to sign with that dotted line
He got out his pen would he seal the massive deal
Would he really sell his soul to get mass appeal?....
He got his lime light and the fame his name came quick
He was still a hit, still legit all in all it was the same shyt
Did a couple shows, ready to drop his first LP
Steady with the flows and his stock was wealthy
He had his spot locked, and the people was still looking
Till the industry started talking and it wasn't what he had cooking
They said the people don't want to hear intellect prevail
This isn't '94 lyrics with knowledge doesn't sell
Half of the viewers aren't in college, the rest could care less, what your saying
**** facts they just want hot club track and beats playing
He started to argue, this is my music
I choose it, I'll never lose it, I own my sound, so don't abuse it
Try and use it, to make money and profit
This **** ain't even funny so stop it
I'm not hear to be played and slayed, to get you paid or changed
Music is to be made, I will not be enslaved and chained
They then turned to each other and said do you want your massive deal
Showed him the contract as a whole and his soul he passed for real
The man said we now own your goals, to us your *** is sealed
I guess he would sell his soul to get mass appeal………….. | | it sounds like poetry man. seriously. the 1st 4-6 bars i knew you had something worth checking out. but next time stick to just uploading 16 bars instead of 48 lol. | Would someone like to tell me what i'm still doing here? midlife crisis but im 15!!! please help me!! i'd ask my parents but i dont like them much. imean they care about me but they bug and they are part of the problem. ok so lately i feel like i try too hard at everything like school, my body, trying to get my best friend back because we got in a fight and we say we're over it but i know it'll never be the same again. she was the closest person to me and i still felt like i couldnt talk to her. she's kind of a meany (to everyone..especially me..her best friend!!!) and it has to be all about her all the time. so when we were still friends i felt like whenever i said something, she either gave me a **** *** answer or she acted like she didn't care. so since like the end of february, its been whatever and she still acts like she doesnt care about anything except her new bff carissa. and i always get the impression that my friends (the few that i have, even my "best" friends) get annoyed with me? because i'm quiet and very shy. i wouldn't be that shy if i had something to say, but i hate small talk cuz i see no point and i never have anything significant to say. and now im afraid of talking to anyone even if they are my best friends and i know that something is MAJORLY wrong with that picture.
and i feel the need to do something WRONG. like out there..maybe smoke some meth or some type of drug. because my parents just drive me insane because they are always so proud of me.. "yea our daughter is hopefully gonna get straight A's" and then i don't and i feel like they treat me differently. adn they are too afraid to let me do anything..like go to the movies by myself and a friend. and they cant just let me do what average 15 year olds do and im tired of it. im not crazy enough to do anything that they will find out if i can get away with it but still!! i even walk home just so i can stand outside walgreens and ask random people to buy me a pack of cigs and i'll give them $20!!!! but that hasnt worked.
and i mite be anorexic/bulimic/ have a binge eat/starve disorder? and i feel like all life has become if working hard, avoiding food or pigging out and then starving the rest of the week just to gain it the next. and for what!!! i feel like i can't even talk to my friends, can't have fun like a normal teen, cant have free time, i have several school projects to do and ive gotten little progress on them.
im just done. i will not live thru high school living this piece of **** life..i have to do something and idk what. i should get help but i dont know why i would? just to work my butt off the rest of my life and then get little free time for myself? and taxes and bills and all these worries? i dont want any of it but i also dont wana be homeless.
pardon my french throughout this whole thing. please can someone tell me what the **** is there to live for?? i see no point in continuing this life if im gonna end up with no friends and no one to love me except my controlling parents? hey maybe a parent can answer this one? please!! | dude, your going though the same crap im going though, thats what i used to ask myself all that time, why am i still here, just like you i am/was very shy, and quiet, low self esteem, insecure...yeah
and i had that whole friend/not your friend thing go on to, so...you are just digging your self a deeper hole, hun belive me there is a lot to live for, im going to tell you the same thing my friend told me; you may not know it now but there are a lot of people the care about you (besides your phyco parents), be more social, be positive, and stay happy, at first the happiness may seem a little fake, but it will get better. your still a guy enjoy it, your only 15, im 15 to and im also going though some crap right now, but it will get better.
need anything else ask me anything:) | Feeling like giving up? I’m 24 born and raised in New Orleans. I have a brother and a sister. My father is an alcoholic and has been out my life since I was 3. My mother was has polio and raised us by herself. So to say the least we were poor. As a teen I was a bad *** in gangs. Selling drug and doing whatever to get money. I had 11 charges on me by time I was 15.i went in and out of juvy. My last term I did I was sopost to be in for juvy life. My sister came down for my court day and convinced the judge that her husband was a recruiter for the army and they would get me in. they lived in Houston and they would take me. Well they tried to get me in but I had too many violent charges so they couldn’t. The judge let me stay any way they all ready transferred my paper work. I just could not return to the sate till I was 18.At this time in my life I’ve lost most of friends to death and jail. I knew that’s not what I wanted with my life. So I straighten up I stop using drugs and stayed out of trouble. On my 18 birth day I was free to go back home so I left. I got a job and took care of my mom she was hurt and needed help. I found the love of my life. I love her more than words can express. Everything was good than Katrina hit. We lost everything .After the storm the rent was raised I couldn’t afford a 2 bedroom so my mom stayed with my sister. My girl friend family was in a trailer so I let her live with me. I worked as a car salesman I did well for myself. We plan of get married this year. As the economy fell so did my money. I had to work construction to try to make it. I tried so hard but in the end I just couldn’t do it. I lost my home and my car. I had nowhere to go. So I had to leave to Houston. Leaving my girl behind. That was the hardest things to do. My life complete flipped. I’ve been in Houston for 5 months trying to get a job with no luck. People want to hire me but I lied on my app. About graduating H.S. truth is I never made it past the 9th grade. I been studying for my G.E.D. but it’s a lot of stuff I never seen. My girl left me. I’m pretty sure she seeing other people. So with no job ,no girl, nobody to help. I’m feeling hopeless .all I ever wanted was to get married and have my own family. To be successful and be happy. I’m still trying but I’m just ready to give up. | Wow Mike, you have really been through alot in your young life haven't you? While reading your question I couldn't help feeling like reaching out and giving you a big hug. So here"s a big hug for you! (((((((Mike))))))))
I can only tell you what "I" know from what I've experienced in my life. I'm 51 years old, and to be honest, my life was a total mess....Until I God led me to Him. That was 24 years ago, and my life just keeps getting better and better, the more that I let God change me!
Mike,...God really does "Love" you. Did you know that? I only answer one or two questions here on Yahoo when I get on,..and I believe that God led me to your question tonight for this purpose,...to make sure that you know that He really does love you! :o)
Now if you are interested,let me tell you what God wants you to do.
1. Make a list of everything in your life that you can be thankful for. Even if you don't have much right now, there are many things that we all take for granted. Things could be alot worse I'm sure. Can you walk? Is your health good? Your ability to work,Your freedom,Clean water, clothes, food, God's beautiful creation, and so on.
2. Thank God for these things.
3. Pray to God, and tell him that you need Him. Confess your sins and receive His forgiveness. Then, ask Him to guide you and give you wisdom to know what to do and where to go.
4. Be quiet and listen.
5. Find a good church and talk to the pastor.
Mike, I really do careand so do many others if you will let them,... and God can lead you to the right places, with the right people who can help you,... if you will only reach out and ask.
I hope you take this response to your question with the attitude that I meant it for. Love, Care, and Compassion. You deserve every opportunity to start a new life, and God is willing to give it to you! I know, because God has unconditional love for us and His love never changes. The Bible tells us so!
I will be praying for you Mike! Blessings to you! :o) |
