Most of us had sex young but were lucky enough that our stupidity didn't materialize into childbirth, so even if I'm saddened at the result I cannot judge him or her because I did the same thing at their age I was just more lucky.
honestly that is sad, and not true. i was still a virgin till i was 18. my parents tought me a couple things like the fear of god. the fear of my dad. and comon self respect for myself and my partner.. im not saying that since then i havent made my mistakes and screwed up my life, but until i turned 18 i was their responsibility and they made sure that i stayed in line.

i can only HOPE that i can keep my kids in line half as good as my parents did.

I haven't seen one person who is happy for him.







1. The kid has a cool unique story for the rest of his life.
2. The kid will only be 31 when his kid is 18
3. Many kids who are 13 are smarter than half the people on this site. In fact, I would ban some 18+ users from this site from ever procreating due to their high immaturity level.
4. 13 year olds are still in development and the learning stage when learning is easiest. He will have no problem learning how to be a dad.

Wake the fuc* up people, in classic history there was a reason girls were married off at 12!

First of all wars made life short back then.

Humans become sexually aware at 12 and younger biologically speaking and it has been the infiltration of Christianic and Victorian virtues that have us all screwed up about teen pregnancy.

It is a problem but between the Media, religion, and lack of good education on the subject matter you can expect things to get worst!

The Media sells it, religion reviles it, and kids are left with questions their parents are too hesitant to answer so they seek the answers for themselves!

Also adults play kids for stupid far too much! They eventually grow up but parents get stuck in the romance of their kids being their "LITTLE" children when they are facing women and men. Kids want to know. It is better to inform them rather than leave them in the dark otherwise they will leave you in the dark.

Example.

Few years back a friend of mine got a real shock when his 14 year old daughter suddenly blimped out. She was 6 months pregnant when she finally admitted it and she had no idea who of the seven boys she was doing at the time was the daddy. $7200 later and seven DNA paternity tests later they figured out who the lucky father was. Needless to say the man was an eye opener to the dad since he was 19 but lied at the time claiming to be 17.
Needless to say things didn't go well from there at all!
Mom and dad were DEVOUT Baptists but also were a little on the aloof side concerning sex and it was not spoken of among the kids and parents.
The girl admitted sex education at the school actually encouraged her to explore it on her own even knowing the risks.
You cannot depend on others to educate your children!

THAT is where the problem lies!

You can't pinpoint a problem like this. It's a case to case basis. Every family is different. This is a classic case of a child and free thinking. You can't learn if you don't explore. There is no bypassing the strength of hands-on experience by telling someone about it.

But that is exactly what I am saying. Children are free thinking and at a lot younger than we think or are led to believe.

I knew what sex was all about when I was 12 thanks to my mom's medical text books. I was an utter book worm and it wasn't until I was 14 when my mom tried to give me the talk. I think I stunned her when I said I was not ready to have kids then. I knew more about sex and VD than my high school health teacher as a virgin!

Likewise I was not buying into the whole rush into a relationship thing in high School like everyone else was. I was dealing with the dysfunction of a broken home at the time and was in an extremely hostile environment back in those days.

These two kids have an ASSLOAD of growing up to do but likewise It Grinds My Gears with all of the hoopla around this!
Welcome to Generation X! Spoiled Rotten little snot nosed entitled know it alls!

besides this crap happens all the time. I bet the GF wanted to have a kid just to spite her parents!

I haven't seen one person who is happy for him.

1. The kid has a cool unique story for the rest of his life.
2. The kid will only be 31 when his kid is 18
3. Many kids who are 13 are smarter than half the people on this site. In fact, I would ban some 18+ users from this site from ever procreating due to their high immaturity level.
4. 13 year olds are still in development and the learning stage when learning is easiest. He will have no problem learning how to be a dad.

You've obviously haven't taken a Child Development class. His frontal lobe isn't even close to being fully developed yet.

the boy sounds very mature. what upset me more was the parents of the boy. his father made the comment that his son was taking responsibility and visiting the hospital daily when able, instead of playing his play station. stupid male. i dont think the father even understands how serious this is.

it upset me, but thats life. at least the boy isnt dead, like so many others in the world. so its not the worst thing that could happen.

somewhat true.


i dont think it falls solely on the parents. people now days are spoiled, and live a life without fear. these people who cant control urges are just sluts. which is why so many are fat, sexual, and worthless. actions have repercussions, and this is just what happens. there loss, and my gain.

its a shame it happened at such a young age, and he looks so young frustrated but i know of others that age that are intelligent enough to not have sex. flowerforyou
