Reading something like this is just so sad. The UK’s Daily Mail reports on a 14-year-old, pregnant girl, Kizzy Neal, who reveals that “having a baby is now regarded as ‘fashionable’ among schoolgirls.”
When my friends see my bump they say they wish they could have a baby, then three weeks later they’re pregnant and don’t know what to do.
In a related article, the Daily Mail reported last October that pregnant teens were taking up smoking in the hopes of producing babies with lower birth-weight which would then lessen the pain of childbirth.
I discovered this story through Digg, which linked to a “re-reporting” article on FOX News instead of to the original at the Daily Mail. I believe I also discovered the October article via Digg back when it was reported.
I don’t think being pregnant at 14 is as bad as everyone is making it sound. Forget about the dirty nappies and the sleepless nights for a second and think about the love. My friend had a baby at 14 and she has made the best mum in the world. She was being abused by her mum so maybe she just wanted someone to love her, we’ll never know. So please stop making the nasty comments because I think I would rather have a baby at 14 than 50. I hope Kizzy is really happy, Good Luck! xxxxxx
