Some people use having kids at a young age as an excuse as to why they werent raised properly but I think those people are just selfish and lazy. If when they had those kids they werent prepared to sacrifice everything to ensure they grew up happy and productive then they should of given them to someone who would....but again thats just my opinion...

Your statement is a bit confused. Often time when you hear someone say that the person was too young to have a child, and therefore the child had a bad upbringing and ended up screwing up somehow, they are not the parent of the child. Most of the time it is someone making an observation based on the end result. Your statement about a young parent giving up the child if they were not prepared to sacrifice everything assumes that the parent is the one who usually makes the excuses for the screwed up kid. When it is not I don't think. It's usually those who haven't had a child at a young age, and don't think others should either.

Hmm that's a bit more confusing than I intended it to be. Good luck siphoning out the golden nugget of knowledge somewhere in that statement

Sounds like you have a comment after all. It's true though. Many can fight the odds and come out just fine.
