Just been discussing this elsewhere, no energy left to argue!

Yes, they are too young mentally to raise and look after a kid.
Yes, according to the laws someone MADE UP it's socially wrong.
But, it's biologically normal.

Take your sides, I'm on both.

I think that says it all about a 13 year old thinking about having a baby..

I am afraid children don't think the same way of adults and it doesn't sound like he has any one to teach him the ways of life the correct way.

It may be biologically normal, but we live in a civilised society where providing for one's family is no longer simply a hut / hunting.

Not to mention the mental / emotional underdevelopment when you're on 13.

Hence why I said that.

to be honest, these days kids are younger for longer - which I think is as it should be.

you look back over the years, back to 1800's and before, you'll see that kids were much more mature then. - they had to be.

At 12/13/14 having babies was considered the norm - way back when.

These days its considered obscene.

As time has gone on, the maturity in children has dwindled and kids have become kids.

however mother nature in her infinite wisdom hasnt postponed the baby making functions to tie in with the later maturity levels required to actually be responsible enough to have a baby.

I feel sorry for him, I genuinely do, he's not going to understand what he's being thrown into.

love the baby, sure, more like a brother/sister...

its a tragic scene of societies events.

My thought on the matter can be neatly summed up in 2 words:

***** sake...

"I didn't know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it."

"Care for it"? I think he says more in those three words than that entire article.

Kids a Chav what more needs to be said

Poor kid (the baby, not the parents that is)

Well, from April my taxes won't be paying for it..
Bearing in mind that they're in line for about £30k/year (according to this mornings daily fail - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-baby-age.html see about 5/6 of the way down the page) in benefits this country can keep them for all I care.
I find it particularly gaulling that we're saving so we can have kids yet these people just pop them out like they're going out of fashion...good riddance to bad rubbish.

Angelfromabove · 14-02-2009, 01:07 PM

30k!!

Thats ridiculous.

That isn't for the 13 + 15year old, that's for the 15 year old's mum's entire family so that's a little out of context.

I find some of the quotes so shocking they're nearly offensive. Look at this little gem...

Quote:

Alfie's half-sister Nicole, 19, yesterday blamed their father for the 13-year-old having a child so young because he left home for a 19-year-old girl.

She said Dennis ran off with the teenager, who is now 21, two years ago, when Alfie was 11, and is still living with her.

She told The Sun: 'I blame my dad for Alfie getting Chantelle pregnant.

'If it wasn't for him, Alfie wouldn't be in this situation. When dad left it tore the family to pieces.

'Alfie's mum took her eyes off the ball - And Alfie looked for comfort somewhere else to take his mind off things.'

Sure, because of course kids who don't have a father turn out to be bad. I f**king hate people who say that kind of crap.

While 'broken homes' add to the chance of 'social disfunctionality,' occurring, it's more the fact that people don't think with their heads, but with their *****es, (or respective woman parts).

Am I surprised when I see this...
