Holy ____ !!
A 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.
She is due to give birth in a few weeks, breaking the record set by Jenny Teague of Dorset, who had a baby aged 12 years and nine months in 1997.
The girl, who has not been named, told the Sun: "I think I'll be able to cope as I've had lots of practice looking after my brothers."
She feared that she might be pregnant after having unprotected sex with the boy on a night out with friends in Edinburgh last August. The pregnancy was confirmed with the help of a supermarket home-testing kit.
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'm enjoying being pregnant - even though I get a bit of a sore back and sore ribs," she said.
This is our youth. An 11 year old child is having a child and her mother is all for it. What is wrong with people? What is she doing smoking? What is she doing having sex, not to mention having a 15 year old boyfriend? This is just the most insane thing I have ever seen. It still amazes me every day the people who are having children. You have to have a license to fish and to hunt, but anyone can have a baby. There is something wrong with that don't you think?
Her mother needs some prescription medication!
