Current scientific studies tend to show that teen births are generally the result of casual sex, not long term relationships. A strong bond of friendship brings with it a strong sense of responsibility towards the other person in the relationship. Still, there will be the occasional baby to deal with, and it must be pointed out that the entire design of our proposed social order is created with the idea in mind of providing a support mechanism for teen births. To me, this means it is wrong to try to discourage teen pregnancy. Instead, we need to ensure that the parents stay together and raise their children.
People are most adaptable the younger that they are.
This is clearly a major error of our modern society, in that it is pushing people to defer forming relationships until they are so set in their individuality that they will have extreme difficulty adapting their lives to another person. The remaining points are accepted parts of our current society, and are easily incorporated into the Rules for Life as stated herein. For the young family after their first child is born, our society should be prepared to provide support to the whole family, in the same manner that it previously provided support to the individual children. This, again, is a major error of our current system, which I believe we propagate solely to produce fear in the potential fathers and thereby allegedly discourage them from having sex in the first place. There has to be something which is larger than the individual family, and yet smaller than the community as a whole, which is prepared to take on the task of supporting young families in return for the future contributions which that family will make back to the tribe, or to society as a whole, just as we now take on the burden of raising our own children.
