I can't say ( especially as a puerto rican hah!) that I haven't yearned for children, especially after losing my ex girlfriend's son not long ago who I was hoping to help raise and watch grow up. Up until very recently relatively speaking women were having children at that young of an age as a norm. Whatever was brought about with Juno, was hiding just barely under the surface anyway.
Also, while I did post about my concerns with WALL-E I will attest to the fact that the responsibility lies with the parents, not the film makers. Kind of hard to make a teen pregnancy film with the girl getting an abortion, and its not the first of its kind. What about For Keeps, or Fifteen and pregnant etc? It isn't like they hid the fact that she was pregnant in the promotional material....
