QuoteSchoolgirl set to be UK's youngest parent
QuoteA schoolgirl who became pregnant at the age of 11 is set to break the record for being the UK's youngest mother.
Now aged 12, she has told a national newspaper how she is "really excited" about the prospect of having a child after losing her virginity to a boy aged 15 in Edinburgh......
Her 34-year-old mother told the newspaper: "I'm not ashamed of my daughter at all - in fact, I'm proud of her for keeping her baby."
The mum-to-be, who smokes up to 20 cigarettes a day according to the newspaper, said she hoped the baby would be a boy.
I know I shouldn't be too judgemental without knowing more than is printed in that article but seriously, what the fuck?

>boy lived in. That's my only true explanation for that mess.
You think that anyone who has sex with someone else in a questionable manner (i.e. underage, drunk, use of force) wasn't brought up correctly? There are thousands of examples that counter that assertion. You can be screwed up no matter what upbringing you had - and even kids from good families who feel the urge to fuck sometimes do, and damn the consequences.

A smoking mum isn't satan. I'm frankly a little tired of the "Ooh, she SMOKES! She must be horrible" line of thought.
Very significantly increased risks of poor growth, low birth weight,
cerebral palsy, stillbirths , mental retardation and learning
problems, etc are all routinely linked to smoking during pregnancy.
Also later babies will be 3 times more likely to die formSIDS.
Additionally she will likely make the infant a passive smoker lateron,
creating an enormous propensity for any type of repiratory
problem and defect you can think of. And then there are many
things that haven't been studied very much, but that simply
cannot be good - such as effects of nicotine adiction on the fetus.
Generally, if you ever looked into research of environmental
factors on prenatal development and how it can negatively
affect people in their later development ou will find much more
benin things (such as daylight exposure) are having significant
influence on fetus and child development.
I will presumably get rosted for this but can't help it: A mother
who claims that smoking during pregnancy is not a problem at
all doesn't know her cervix form a hole in the ground.

It ain't great, but prior generations seemed to survive it ok. If anything, asthma rates seem to be increasing now, though it could be more about diagnosis rates.
For some reason I'm a bit more concerned about mom's drinking at that age. The combination of the two along with the age is just a lovely one.
My wife is hotter than your wife.
No. Not necessarily.
In the present case are some really disturbing details: 2 kids, 11 + 15 y/o, having sex after a long night of drinking, girl is a smoker, now pregnant. (I know, I know, nobody can supervise kids 24 h/day and where's a will, there's a bush....)
I think, her mother failed completely.

QuoteI misread the article. Any pregnant woman who smokes is an asshole.
that's a pretty broad statement counsellor

Hell, I couldn't even defend defend people smoking around me.

QuoteA boy, 15 y/o, how educated was he? Did nobody ever told him anything about contraception, AIDS, anything related?
Or at the very least tell him that it is fucking sick to have intercourse with an eleven year old child.

I do agree with you there. What the boy did is incredibly wrong, and slightly disturbing. He's not the one that has to live with the consequences though, c'est la vie.
As has been pointed out, it is the fact the she allows her heavily pregnant not even teenage daughter to smoke -a lot- that I take issue with.
