Our 13 year old daughter recently came home with a baby!! Before anyone out there jumps to conclusions about bad parenting etc.; let me tell you that it was a "computerized " infant for a class at her school.
Most of the kids that had to do this were able to take the "child" for just one school night. However, wanting for the experience to be more like "real life", she elected to bring this "child" home for the weekend! Yes,3 nights; Friday,Saturday & Sunday night. Well, let me tell you after several days of sleep deprivation, her nerves are on edge big time. She never dreamed it would be as hard as it has been.
I think these types of programs are very useful,in order to give the kids at least some understanding of the responsibility that having a child invloves! Suffice it to say that any idea of the "fun" involved has gone out the window,& I have no doubt this; in addition to similar reinforcement at home,will make her think twice about experimenting with sex before marriage!
