We have pregnant teenage girls in our school (6-8th grades, 11-14 years old) every year, two or three eighth graders usually. It isn't at all unusual for their mothers to still be in their 20's. When one of them comes to me to tell me she's pregnant, or afraid she's pregnant (I get this a lot because I'm the female Family Planning teacher, and the girls often see me as a safe first person to tell), she's usually repeating the same mistake her mother made, and in many cases, she's gotten pregnant on purpose.
It's truly dismaying to be meeting with the mother of a pregnant 13 year old, or even worse, the mother of a 13-year-old who's disappointed that she isn't pregnant, and the mom is younger than I am. I'm 28, and I'm not even sure I'm ready for a child yet.
