Education, Sex and Otherwise

Steve Sanders on a baby: "What's IT doing here? We're supposed to be watching a Lakers game."

Beverly Hills 90210 is at some weird crossroads. They are teaching necessary life lessons but in a way that the average teen can relate. For example, teen pregnancy isn't a good scene, and they (read: parents, educators, people who hate fun) also used this as an idea to deter teen sex (aka if you're 16 and still a virgin you are outside the norm, dawg). 9-oh uses a different road to get to the same destination. Teen pregnancy / parenthood TOTALLY sucks. Why? It's annoying! Babies are loud, they get in the way, and you have to spend time with them. They are a responsibility, like a crummy job BUT YOU DON'T EVEN GET PAID. So totally use condoms or don't have sex or whatever. If you have a baby, it will hurt your chances to get a date, you won't be invited to parties, and your friends will think you suck.
