PREGNANT... AT JUST 11

Schoolgirl will be UK's youngest mum

By Pete Samson

A GIRL who became pregnant at 11 is to become Britain's youngest mum.

The schoolgirl, who is now 12, discovered she was expecting after a boozy one-night stand with a 15-year-old.

She will be 12 years and eight months old when she gives birth next month.

The girl, who smokes despite being heavily pregnant, said: "I didn't think I'd get pregnant because it was my first time. But I'm really excited and looking forward to being a mum."

The 12-year-old comes from a large family in West Lothian, Scotland, and has an eight-month-old brother.

Her 34-year-old mother insists she is "proud" of her daughter. The girl added: "I think I'll cope as I've had lots of practice with my brothers.

I know how to feed a baby its bottle and I can change nappies.

But I panic and cry if they're sick and I don't like giving them a bath because I'm frightened.

The girl, who claimed she has given up drinking, wants a boy.

She had unprotected sex with the 15-year-old in Edinburgh last August. He could face legal action.

Britain's current youngest mum is Jenny Teague, of Dorset, who had a baby age 12 years and nine months in 1997.

Damn that's young to be having sex and getting pregnant. Although she's doing what most won't even though she's only 12 she had unprotected sex so she should raise that child. If I was the mom i'd be dissapointed with my child, i'd still love the child, but be dissapointed with her.

 

[GreenGreta]

Disappointed? I'd f*cking kill her, then I'd send my husband after the boy.

Ah, nothing a little string can't fix. You tie the string tight around the testes and leave it there till they fall off.

Painful I suppose. But hey, it's gotta be done.

11!?!?!?!? Didn't know that was possible!?

 

[tracy]

The youngest girl to give birth was actually a 5 year old, so it is possible. I have looked after a twelve year old in labor before, in Canada. She was pregnant by a much older man. I wish her the best of luck. If it were my daughter I would want her to give the baby for adoption, but that's a personal choice.

Damn. I wuldn't support her drinking or smoking or unprotected sex and such but wow.

A five year old getting pregnant. Now that is sick?

I'm sure the mother of this girl

would be happier if it hadn't happened but in some countries in Africa, the average age of motherhood is not much older than 11. The sad thing is, that her childhood is gone.

My question is: What is wrong with men who would do this to
a child?

Boy do I love the Human Race. You can tell in the article that this girl's problem is most likely a result of her mother's horrible parenting. Good times.

I believe that anyone under 18 who gets pregnant should be forced to have an abortion.

 

[tracy]

I wouldn't exist if that were the law, so I'm ok with allowing them to decide for themselves.

 

[fuzzylogix]

wow-JonB! That's a very radical postion!!!! In many cases these girls will get an abortion, but it should NEVER be forced upon them.

As for the guy, this is statutory rape, so it becomes a case of whether or not you charge a minor with this serious crime.

As for the mother, well obviously if the girl was out drinking and having sex, mum wasnt exactly keeping an eye on her.

 

[GreenGreta]

Hey Tracy, how old was your mom?

It was a 15 yr old who knocked her up, what's he and his parents saying? Actually, ya, it's more his fault than hers. He must have coerced her in some way, provided the alkyhol she was drinking too.

They have destroyed their lives. It would make just a darling shotgun wedding though. Her with her Dora the Explorer Pajamas and him carrying his skateboard. They probably will register at Toys R Us.

Again, I'd f*cking kill her and send my husband after the boy. I have sons and a container full of condoms, occasionally I find them in the kids pants. I'm very happy that he listened, some don't.

I certainly don't believe in forcing abortions on females.You can just leave my body alone, but thanks.

 

[tracy]

My birth mother was 17 when she got pregnant GG, 18 when I was born (she's not my "mom" though, that's the mom who adopted me).

 

[GreenGreta]

How wonderful! Imagine how happy your adopted mom was to get you!

I can't see a happy ending for the 11 year old tho, can you?

I believe that anyone under 18 who gets pregnant should be forced to have an abortion.

Uhhh... I can't even respond to this post because I'm so angry. Unbelievable. :roll:

 

[FiveParadox]

I concur, LittleRunningGag.

 

[JonB2004]

Little Running Gag, I can't see why you would be angry about what I said. :?

Anyone under 18 who gets pregnant should be forced to have an abortion because having a baby pretty much ruins their life.

They can't have a proper education because they have to take care of the baby. Then, they will never have a good life because they will spend the rest of their life working some minimum wage convienence store job because they have no education.

But who am I? I'm just some dumbass teenager who doesn't know what he's talking about and you adults know everything. :roll:

RE: Girl pregnant....aged

Why is that your decision though? Why isn't that her decision?

I come from the school of thought that everyone is entitled to make decisions regarding their body. No one else should be able to make that decision for them.
