i read an article on this on the bbc. what i find interesting is that the girl was on birth control, and missed a pill. there was no mention of a condom, so I assume they weren't using one - again this makes me wonder how much emphasis is put on STIs in health classes; it seems kids are taught that the main purpose of condoms is to prevent pregnancy, and there is little constructive discussion of STIs and how to avoid them. I mean, no method of birth control is 100%, which is why a backup should always be used. A father at 13, and the mother is 15 - children having children is frightening. quotes from this boy show that he obviously doesn't know what he's in for . . . when asked how he would support the child financially, first he asked for "financially" to be explained, and then mentioned his father's occasional pocket money. Frightening.
The second problem is that the media is presenting this as a new problem; as if a culture that contains sexual freedom is to blame. but this is hardly a new phenomenon; people just used to keep situations like this quiet, while now they are widely publicized. while it is better to have these things out in the open, I worry that people react hysterically and blame sexual visibility in our culture.

Yeah no, definitely a fake. The parents schemed it up for quick fame and to save the girls rep. (cause she's a big skank)
