In reality, before modern medicine and nutrition, 16 year old pregnant women were probably the norm.
The age of death being around 36.
You can't ignore thousands of years of biology.
Teens have sex and teens get pregnant because their bodies are ready to further the species.
Now sometimes parents can teach what to do but, gasp, teenage brains may not be ready to do what the parents have taught.
I wonder how many of us were "accidents?"
I bet we ALL would be surprised if we were told the truth about our parents plans for having kids, and what actually happened.
TV has taken over our lives. Look at all the stars getting attention, at the moment, for having children!
Just because a young woman gets pregnant does not mean she is unclean. It just means it was an unplanned pregnancy. Let's try to use that as a springboard for talking to our children, not this ugly rush to judgement being heaped on a 16 year old young woman.
