OMG! I wouldn't want 7 kids at age 40! ####### she is 16!!! When I first saw this and saw you posted it was I thought it would be from England and I was like frickin chavs

I had the same thought. I guess it comes from the years working in the Housing Benefit department in a chav-filled area.

No offense, but have you been around many 14 year olds lately? It's more common than you would think, especially in places like Indianapolis. It's one way to "support yourself" when you have no home, no job, no future.

Anyway, she lives in an area that is primarily agricultural. Marriage and childbirth aren't *that* unusual for that age, I wouldn't think. Being unmarried and on "welfare", however, seems to be unusual.

I understand that she shares some of the responsibility, unless she was raped. But, IMO, 14 yr. olds lack the capacity to fully fathom decisions they make which is why we don't consider them adults. In any case, it's tragic and I'd speculate there's a lot more to the story beyond the sensational bits.

I think that a 14 year old in this country has a different maturity level than a 14 year old in another country. In Guyana, my home, we graduated from high school at 16 and began our "young adult" lives. We weren't nearly as immature or protected as children are here in the States. And amazingly (at the time anyway) we also weren't nearly as irresponsible. It really depends on the culture whether or not the age is appropriate for making those types of decisions. There really isn't much to the story here and very very odd that they mention her "promiscuity" but not whether or not the children all have the same father. Apparently the story was intended to be incomplete.

Oh the happy memories, girls with their hair scraped back in ponytails (I believe that style is known as the "Croydon Facelift"), hoop earrings at least 12 inches in diameter, 20 Sovereign fags in their pocket, a loyalty card for Iceland, and a fake Burberry scarf draped around their hickey filled necks....

Hmm...I wonder if this girl lives in a house with no TV or radio. Because I remembered when I asked my Grandpa why he had 12 kids, he said back then he had no TV or radio. I didn't understand that, but now as an adult I know what he meant. I guess he didn't have something to make him busy enough other than making babies
