Kids need as many chances as you can give them

I'm late again. But at least it's a blog and not something that will threaten life as we know it.

And today I'm irked.

There's a woman at work who is eight months pregnant. Actually, she's more of a girl, 19. The job she does for us is critical, but relatively easy, and it's a good job for someone with a high school education.

As far as I know, they still teach health in high school.

I'm not irked by her getting pregnant at such a young age. It happens, she's married, she could have had an abortion but she chose not to. It's her choice.

Why is she choosing to smoke through her entire pregnancy?!
