are kids your kid's school having babies?

Where's all the outrage for people having children well past age 35 when there's a higher rate of complications.

Actually, there can be many complications for mother and baby when the mother is only 15 or 16. But that's not the point--the point is having enough maturity to understand what is happening. Any place where girls routinely "start families" before the age of majorities is backwards, pure and simple.

There was a girl in my 6th grade in Arlington who left for a few months and then came back and had a new baby brother. I am pretty sure it was her son and not her brother but I never knew for sure.
