Shalinara,
I'm so happy you took my post as you did :) I didn't mean to say that teen pregnancies aren't any "worse" than any other parent (or even any "better"), it's just the whole idea of not being ready and having to give up a LOT. You're obviously doing a great job as a parent to care enough to pull him out of the system despite so any detractors. But I really am grateful I wasn't (and still am not) any more "involved" with boys than I need to be.
I don't have any kids (and personally don't want any either) but all i can say is simply being "involved" with other kids does NOT make you socially adept. That's why it depends on the child for home schooling vs. the system. It's the whole introvert/extrovert thing.........either you like dealing with people or you don't.
