http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2233878.ece Just heard about this on the radio...so sad.scary situation. i felt like such a voyeur logging on to get the story, but these pictures really hit home. how stupid is the anti sex-ed comment? ... grrr!obviously this kid didn't have a clue what he was doing or its implications and could have done with some bloody education!
13, 4ft tall, and a dad. I'm surprised at 13 he didn't know what he was doing, we got Sex Ed at 11 iirc. Why did a 15(14 at the time?) yo want to bang a midget 12 year old? This is almost worthy of 'The Onion', but sadly, while a crappy paper, 'The Sun' does report some truth.
this is sad, For fucks sake, what 13yr old wants to be a mum or dad? its all down to the mums and dads of these kids to make sure they know what they're kdis are doing,. true you cannot be with your kids every minute of every day but christ sake you can teach your kids to use protection, and at 13 you should still be getting into fights climbing trees and makeing a nuiscance of your self, not changing nappies and bottle feeding a child
It's a shame because the young parents relationship is unlikely to survive. However, these two youngsters are showing maturity, compassion an courage that's damn right inspiring.God bless them. I knew a girl in school who had a child at 13. She graduated early and went to work. Both her and her child turned out to be fine, well rounded people. On the other hand, my kids don't go to public school because of just this sort of thing. If rely on others to teach them about sex, you get what you get.
To me, since there's not very many 13 year old dads, the program is working just fine. Only one 13 year old had a child means that over a million did not! How could anyone make a statement like that, it only shows their ignorance to the entire situation.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
as a matyter of fact when i was his ag i though females part look like this: http://www.rockheap.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/stonestongue.jpg its true. i even told my granmother that and she laughed. one time i also i said granma my heart is beating, thinking i was going to die. because i though it was a bomb ticking. and i turned out fine.
He's actually the same size as my seven, soon to be eight year old. Height and everything. It's kind of eerie. Granted my son is on the top of the growth charts... This is why I am open with my kids about sex and the repercussions. I told the oldest (14) where the drawer of condoms are in case he needs one, and even how to check the expiry date. I told him that I'd rather he didn't have sex, but that if he was going to, that it was important that he not catch anything or get a girl pregnant because that would effect him for the rest of his life. And I've even told him that even if she is on the pill, he should use a condom because it's not 100% safe on the pill and he could still catch something. Being open is better than just not awknowledging there might be an issue.
I would support what ever the mother and the father if the mother wanted him involved wanted to do. I would also help her explore other options, like adoption. I think the teens parents are being very supportive, and that will help the baby in the long run. The baby looked very healthy, and they looked to be supporting it in all the right ways, feeding and changing it as well. Who's to say, from the little we know about the family and the situation? What's important is how the family helps them deal with it now, and they seem to be doing a fine job. I think the boy seems to understand the ramifications now, and while the situation isn't ideal it happened. It's not like the girl went and had octopulets without being able to suport any children at all or anything. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
He is very small for a 13 year old. And his voice hasn't even broken yet. I agree with you. Right from the get go, my husband and I decided that was how we were going to be with our children. Of course if my son was 13 and came home and said he would be a 'dad', I would kill him. I would be supportive, but I would still kill him.
