damn the kids, brutha

@alinanakashima Yes, she has a big heart, that shows when you see her smile, and she knows what it is to grow up to fast, without play parks, and not heaving many tnings you want or need. At 15 she was already running a little store and living alone with a girlfriend!!!

@dancingwithoutwords And besides, I don't know if you are from US, but USA is the rich country in the world with more percentage of teenage mothers, so you should learn something about condoms to, and in England you se girls at 13 and 15, pregnant, ingnorant as hell... so don't think it's just happening in Russia.

@dancingwithoutwords She has 3 kids, so she knows that things like Playparks make a big difference for them. I live in Germany, and heave lots of nice and clean places for my kid to play, but in Russia they don't heave them, in some towns they don't heave one!!! And that's the way Natalia makes a kid's day better, and more fun. Where are you from?? maybe in your country there are playparks, that's why you don't think it's nice to buid them.

yes it should be a natural right but the mentality nowadays doesn't work like that. nobody complains when rich people own 3 houses and 5 cars and so on they complain about the poor people how dare they have children? as if poor people are inferior it's this kind of hypocrisy that's bringing the world down

[blindtommykiller]

would you tell your average american mother that she shouldn't reproduce? I mean honestly, people have a tendency to 'sterilize' women in poverty. having children should be a right, not a privilege.

One Idea for Natalia: start giving condoms to the people, and lessons about family planning. I hope human kind learn how to stop growing and living more human, more in harmony...how many boys and girls are in the Moscow streets living alone under the streets dying?
