Xochitl Parra holds newborn Alejandro, as her sister, left, a nurse and Parra's mother pose with her Saturday.

· Story Highlights from source: CNN

· 8-pound, 3-ounce boy healthy, "eating like a champ," doctor says

· Xochitl Parra was getting ready for school when the contractions began

· "I felt his head coming, so I sit down and pushed so he could come out," Parra says

· Teen says pregnancy kept secret because she feared being kicked out of her home

What is amazing is that the mother said “" I started walking and jogging to the hospital."

Simply remarkable and sad at the same time for she feared being kicked out of her home. I wonder who would really have taken her in (besides the State) if she was indeed “kicked out” for as we already know, talk is often very cheap and compassionate actions are very few and far between. Any takers?

[this is good]

Teenage pregnancy will always be an issue in our world. I wish families could communicate with one another about sex and what can happen.

Unfortunately, some ladies in the USA are getting STDs at an alarming rate. Not only are they getting herpes but AIDS too =(. How scary!

NPR News Story today: Study: 25 Percent of Teens have STDS

Thanks for sharing!
