I know teen pregnancy is nothing new, but I am still like "Whoa" when I hear about girls getting pregant in like 8th/9th grade. In my opinion, you're not even a TEEN at that point- you can't even DRIVE.
It boggles my mind why kids would even be thinking about babies at that age. At 14, my priorities included: getting front row NSYNC tickets, who I was going to take to my first homecoming dance, and how I could convince my mom to let me stay out past curfew. They did not include having a baby so I could be like my friends.
I wonder if this "OMG babies are like the hawt new thing" attitude is just a UK thing? I know that accidents happen, but I've never heard of a 14 yr old actually WANTING to get pregnant.
