OverWhat?

Even though I was unable to attend class on Thursday, I heard a lot about it. The main thing I heard about that class was about overpopulation. A major question lies here... who or what has control over overpopulation?

I found this photo interestingly accurate. As you can notice, the bird is marked with the word "resources" and he is carrying over a dozen babies. This bird is a metaphor for our society's resources slowly but surely breaking down due to overpopulation. Statistics are beginning to show the increase of teenage pregnancy out of wedlock being a leading factor for our country's overpopulation issue. It is said that by the year 2047, the high school drop out rate for teenage mothers is going to increase by nearly 60%. According to various online resources, "parenting" is owed mostly to non-married, single parents under the age of 25. That rate is greatly increasing. What is happening to our society? The idea of marriage and the value of "saving yourself until marriage" no longer stands as a moral. One may say that this is arguable, but let's be real... go into a classroom and ask the class to argue no sex before marriage, you may hear tons of laughing remarks. Also, you might want to ask students in a college classroom to raise their hand if they stand true to this effort, or better yet, ask those lovely kids in high school. It may not go over well. It is almost looked at as embarrassing in this day and age to still be a virgin before marriage. There is NO argument that open amounts of sex especially in teenage lives is a growing contributor to overpopulation, it's a fact. Government officials are losing their minds in trying to "fairly" distribute proper funding towards welfare in certain homes. What people need to realize more often is that some of these resources being mentioned have to deal with welfare and welfare is stemmed from "hard economic times." Well, pretty much EVERYONE is being effected by "hard economic times." Another resource is the fact that money from welfare is coming straight from our HARD-WORKING pockets. Resources are being killed due to overpopulation. Soon, that bird will be dead. Those babies might be too... if they're not treated correctly.
