Simply talking about being responsible is nonsence. One ear in, other ear out. That's not a way to teach responsibility, that's making excuses. Paying for your mistakes is the way to go. This society degenerates by being way too easy on irresponsible teens enough as it is.

You seem to feel very passionately about this for some reason. But surely you know there is no way your idea will work. It's not going to fix anything, it's only going to breed an new generation of kids who will make bad choices. And then you'll have even more births to unprepared parents. It's a cycle that will continue.
Plus, then the kids are suffering for the parents bad choices, do you want that?
Yes people get social assistance by making bad decisions. Yes some people even abuse it. And yes I think people should be more responsible sexually. But taking away help and support because of some bad apples doesn't help anything. It's just going to cause bigger problems.
If you think making strict rules automatically fixes things you're about as naive as the people on the opposite end of the spectrum who think you can create a utopia if everyone just shared and did the right thing.
There's always going to be people who screw up. Sometimes by honest mistake and sometimes out of their own idiocy or selfishness. The way you keep the problems to a minimum is by educating, and making sure it doesn't become a cycle where you can.
