Babies are having babies.

I’ve known this since I was in high school. Our school had a day care. It wasn’t for the children of teachers.

My high school also didn’t have a program in health class
where students would pair up and share the responsibilities of caring for a child. Perhaps the
administration decided to skip the program because the
pregnancy rate was already so high, or, maybe, that’s
why the pregnancy rate was so high.

The number of child-bearing teens in my high school didn’t mean that I haven’t witnessed the babies taking care of babies experiment on television. And, throughout time, it’s been an evolution in technology. It started with a sack of flour, then an egg. When they were done with food products, many schools’ health programs received babies that would actually cry and needed a special “key” plugged into the baby to indicate that the class assignment had been fed, diaper-changed, and burped. A disk would tell the teacher later how well that baby had been cared for.

A computer inside a baby doll? That’s pretty high tech,
but it’s nothing compared to ‘s new
campaign. It’s designed to encourage teens to feel the
constant necessity of parenting: A text that comes straight to a willing teen’s phone.

Will it be successful? A scholarship prize is offered to
teens who can encourage their friends to sign up, in what
looks like a willing pyramid scheme to spam out friends’
phone numbers. The prize is $2,000.

But before the cash, you have to text “diaper” to a number received in an email.

signed up for her
own texting baby and had a humorous exchange with the
“crying infant” on the other end of the phone.

What those texts seemed to be lacking, however, are the
real constant pressures of raising a baby. It appears that text baby needs less attention than the average . I miss phone calls and
texts from time to time. The texts are not like the
computer baby doll that actually emits a crying sound
until you turn its magic key. It’s also certainly not as
fragile as the egg, shared between you and the (hopefully
good-looking in the awkward adolescent stage) partner that had to ensure that thin shell didn’t break. Your egg-kid had to literally be in one piece.

DoSomething.org’s program is apparently not meant to reach out to potential teen moms, but instead, hit the dude demographic. According to the :

America has the highest teen
pregnancy rate of any industrialized nation. If you’re a
girl* you may already know this, since most teen pregnancy campaigns target females. We think guys should learn a bit about this too, don’t you?

When the baby texts you with needs, you’re supposed to
text back. From though, it
sounds like the “baby” might have some attitude; and
without the constant carrying pressures, some of the
weight of the matter seems to be lifted too.

A real baby’s daily schedule is also far more pressing then the text baby. Take for example the schedule of MyNorthwest.com editor Stephanie Klein’s baby:

4-4:30 a.m. Eat
Play, diaper, cry
5:30-8:30 a.m. Sleep
8:30 a.m. Eat
Play, diaper
10 a.m. Eat
Diaper
11 a.m. Eat some more
11:30-1 p.m. Sleep
Diaper
1:10-2 p.m. Eat/sleep
2-3 p.m. Play/Diaper
3 p.m. Go for a walk with mom/sleep
4-4:45 p.m. Eat
Diaper
5-6 p.m. Sleep
6-8 p.m. Awake/playing
Diaper
8:30-9:30 p.m. Eat/doze
9:30 p.m.-2:30 a.m. Cry
2:30-4 a.m. Sleep

and Repeat.

Text baby: You’re just not that hardcore.
