Rachmaninoff Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I know this one is a bit... o_O But reading it kind just made my eyes pop a bit. I know kids are getting sexually involved at younger ages but... thirteen? [URL="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2238252.ece"][U]Feeding, nappies... and PlayStation[/U][/URL] Anyway, if you skipped the article basically, this thirteen year old kid got some fifteen year old girl pregnant and now they have a kid. The father looks like he's eight. I know I shouldn't be surprised but seriously, I can't imagine kids that young being ready to be parents. You know that their parents are going to be the one taking care of them and the newest addition to the family. So I'm curious, does anyone here think that someone that young can actually be ready to be a parent? I personally don't. I think no thirteen year old has the mental maturity to be an adult when they themselves are still a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haku877 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I really don't think that at that age you should be having a child. Along with it ruins your childhood, it comes along with responsibility and at age 13/15 i don't think thats too ready. 16/17 are easier but its still not right. A child is a special thing which you should save for marriage and the one you love (Plus it doesn't seem like the kids should be old enough to handle it, i mean he gave an interview while on a PlayStation!) Now-a-Days generations are getting worse and worse, I remember when i was as young there want a lot of electronics and stuff like that. It seemed simple. What has the world gone too?

Raiha Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 [COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]When I was thirteen I was kicking boys my age in the shins and running around with braces and my first brassiere. This kid's life is now effectively ruined. Oh yes, and that fifteen year old floozie cheated on him like six times with other boys his age. So who knows if he's actually the father or not? He's not only a thirteen year old with the 'responsibilities' of parenthood, he's also dating a cheating skank. Congratulations.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibi-master Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Wow... This makes me feel so much better about hating boys! And that I'm taking Karate, am usually very intimidating, and will NEVER drink! This means that I probably won't be raped or have consentual sex (not until I'm out of college for the last one, though.). Well, this seems like a nice kick in the face for those two stupid, stupid teens. I hope they put the kid up for adoption, they don't seem like they should be raising a kid. But then, neither should ANYONE those ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of having a relationship with anyone isn't something that I think of and I'm sixteen! The idea of being a parent that young is something that baffles me. No matter what the kids or anyone else says, there is no way they're ready. The very fact that they'll have to rely on their own parents to not only live with and pay for everything, is proof of that.

Vicky Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 [size=1]I've been keeping up with this story. Mostly because it's all over the newspapers around here (and I only read newspapers for the comics or humourous singles pages). There's complaints about the level of sex education but I don't think it's that at all. There's no morals around anymore, pretty much, so you get groups of people (parents and kids) running around sharing that with everyone else. Eventually the influence spreads to the nice people and nice kids - you know, it's like hearing about sex from the bad boy next door and thinking it's all right. I don't know. I know exactly what I mean, I just can't explain it properly. Though I don't think the kid's mother is nice... But I'm pretty damn certain it's not sex education. It also makes me [i]so[/i] proud to be British.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never slept with a boy even though I went out with a good few, and you know, it was still quite fun. I wouldn't knock it and believe me, you won't have the same opinion in a few years, haha. You don't have to avoid boys because you don't want to get pregnant.

Sabrina Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 [FONT="Tahoma"]My first thought upon seeing this is... they are way too young to be having kids. o_O My second thought is that I find it sad. There are so many places where the lines of communication could have broken down. Their parents, school, friends, etc. In the end, I agree with the sentiment that they can't possibly be ready for this. At this stage, one can only hope they get enough support from family that it doesn't totally mess up their lives. And having said that... I'm shaking my head and going... jeez.

Seriously did it not occure to the parents that maybe they should check up on the kids and explain about sex? Yeah I'm stunned and my thoughts aren't making much sense. I do appologize. But why instead of putting a strain on the government and putting their education in jeopardy why don't the parents try to help the kids put the baby (who looks to be about the size of dad) up for adoption. I'm sure there are pleanty of families in the UK waiting to adopt a baby and it'd be in much better hands than with these kids.[/color][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
