Re: Why is it cool to get pregnant -

Media no doubt influenced it... with fashion magazines and such crap glamorising it all. But a girl falling pregnant somewhat creates the impression that she's somehow more mature... it creates that impression on very simple people. And no offence, the younger someone is, the simpler they are, myself included... and when they are maybe 12/13... well, it creates a bit of an impression on their classmates no? So they can boast that they are 5 years ahead of the game.
Same kind of reason why smoking used to be, and in some places still is fashionable at a young age. Drinking same. It makes you look older.
There's also some feminism linked in to this. It's no doubt had it's impacts. Pregnant women were "outcast" in the past (as you said)... so all these demonstrations over time have worked against it. They are no longer necessarily seen as a whore for being pregnant.
"I don't care about politics"
Then politics doesn't care about you either. Truth. You've got to make your voice heard, if you want to be listened to. But that's too logical for some people, so let me go a step further. Not making your voice heard, leaves other people free to hijack it by speaking on your behalf, even if they don't actually give a shit about you. That's politics. So, make your voice heard. That's not a quote from anywhere. That's just me.
