I agree. I think she gets around way too much with boys and I agree that children should not bear children. You're brain doesn't even stop developing until your mid twenties or so..
At least someone said it lol. My original question was why someone was having sex with a 12 year old but now my question is why is a 12 year old having sex with her? In all fairness this does happen a lot and doesn't deserve all the attention it is getting. I mean it'd be hard enough when your parents find out but the whole world.... we sit here and say the child is going to grow up in a miserable home, but yet we throw cameras at it and its parents and ask for everyone's opinion on the matter. Yes I think it's wrong, but I think the media is ridicules for adding to the already existing difficulty. But really, the fact is that this will always exist, if not increase. At puberty comes and boys learn about sex, that get more and more interested. With porn so easily available, and the stuff the put in tv and movies nowadays, young boys are certainly going to want to see sex. I remember being interested in it as early as 5th grade. Girls typically are the preventions to younger boys experiencing sex though. Most younger girls, while maturing faster then boys, do not develop sexual interests and urges as early as boys. However, here and there there will be cases of girls looking to explore and understand bodies and sex better. Typically these exist in lower class communities, poor parenting house holds, famalies with older siblings, very sexually active parents, etc, but of course it can happen to anyone. Most kids really do not understand the consequences. No matter how much you teach a kid in sex ed that sex = baby, they are not going to fully understand the concept at a young age. Little kids think they are invincible. I don't think furthering sex ed is an answer at all. I think the best idea is to parent the kids correctly, keep an eye on them, don't let them sleep over at other sex's houses... duh, talk to kids parents before allowing them to run off, etc. Other then that theres not much a parent can do without socially out casting their kid. And if a the kid makes it to highschool, then here they must learn their own values and create morals. I personally think sex in highschool is ridicules. Sex has its risks and highschool, let alone college kids really do not have the finances or maturity to handle the consequences. I think I have said to much so I will kinda lead this to a stop. But basically, my end message, is that parents need to raise their kids better, kids need to develop morals and maturity better, and the media and people need to accept the fact that this thing happens all the time.
ARE. YOU. SERIOUS? You're right. Sylar: don't worry, same here and yes, this isn't deserving so much media attention that it should be, it's ridiculous how the media is bothering them so much.
For those who've said they don't really know or have seen for themselves people under 18 having kids, then it must be really different where you live because where I come from it's almost the norm. There were at least 5 girls in my graduating class who had babies and same goes for the 9th, 10th, and 11th years. Even some girls in middle school got knocked up, including my girlfriend when she was 14 (not my kid, though). Not saying I approve of 'kids having kids' though, because I don't one bit. But sometimes things happen that are just a little bit out of someone's control. Obviously, that's not the case for the girl in the article.
I wouldn't say getting pregnant is out of someone's control, especially at that age. You don't need to have sex at 13 and you definitely shouldn't be having unprotected sex at 13. If it was protected, then yeah it's out of their control at that point.
Well he still looks like he's 8 or 9 at the most. And for fuck's sake, her parents knew that she was having sex with all these boys from the sound of it, ugh
I'm not sure which situation you're referring to: the article or the personal one that I mentioned. Then again, I didn't clarify in my original post as to which situation was "a little bit out of someone's control", either. Obviously, the 15-year-old in the article wasn't anything that was out of control. Straight up ho. So I guess it's a little obvious as to what I was talking about. Still, I'm not getting into what happened.
Its not extremly common here but it happens i know an exgf of mine who got preganant at 14 her bf was 16..she is now 15 and the dad isnt around and like i said my other friend who is 14 now and has a kid
