I know that he and one of those girls are doing quite fine now, and the other girl must be as well, but I imagine that being a teenage parent can be a bitch, and I'm glad I didn't have to go through that. It's too bad that most teenagers don't realize that being a virgin during that time can be a good thing.

I experienced something similar, but in college. One of my female dorm mates had an on-again, off again relationship with an incredibly toxic guy (he'd ignore her for long stretches of time after they had sex, and they'd even gotten physically violent with each other). She was extremely intelligent and had a lot of big dreams, but this guy (and sex in general) was her Achilles heel. She even came onto me, but I was too inexperienced to realize it at the time.
Between my junior and senior years, this guy knocked her up and left her with a kid. When I knew her, she was an honor student who had already traveled the globe and wanted to be a writer. I came across her on Facebook recently, and now she lives back in her hometown and works at a Burger King after dropping out of school
