Off-Topic / Re: TEENAGE GIRLS HAVIN BABY AT 16

It's so common these days that I don't think most people think much about it.  It's a tough road though, I'm sure but many many people have obstacles in life and overcome them.  My fourth and last child was born when my daughter (now in her 20s) was 16 - her and her friends used to borrow him and walk around the mall with him in the stroller. People thought he was her son.  She did get a few nasty remarks mostly from older people.  Kinda surprised me.

If you feel the sleepy thing hitting you, get up and get some fresh air or have a little beverage with caffeine in it.  Try to put off giving into cravings as long as possible (if you aren't quitting cold turkey) - go for a walk, take a shower, munch on raw vegetables, suck on ice chips, concentrate on something else and wait for craving to pass.  Stay away from places where you can smoke and if possible from people who do...and if you drink alcohol, watch out - the two seem to go together.

   Very unusual, but different cultures are different I suppose...assuming she's happy because she will be set for life soon?

I personally wish it would be Wallyworld, but know that's not going to happen.  I would guess if any of the big discount stores close, it's gonna be Kmart.  I've personally never been in one that was even clean and that's just gross to me, plus they aren't cheap as junk stores go.
