I’m 34 years old. I can’t imagine having an 18 year old child. Plus if the next generation follows suit, this woman could be a grandmother by the time she’s 32.
When I used to work in a county office right out of high school, we had a client who had given birth to her first child at the age of fourteen. That baby, a girl, gave birth to her first child at thirteen.
This woman was a grandmother at the age of 27...this has stuck with me for all these years because it was absolutely mind-boggling.
Back 15 years or so ago, I'd often see happy family photos in the local paper(UK)...grandmother 45 years, daughter 30, granddaughter 15-16, and the latest addition to the family...her newborn. WHYYYYYYYY?? And they are all grinning ear to ear as the bloodline is continued.
There was a teacher in my high-school that taught Health class. Her mother had her when she was in her teens. The teacher was a teen mom at 16 and her daughter had a kid at 15.
Are you from my county? I was friends with a girl who had a baby at 13. That baby had a baby at 13. And that baby had a baby at 16. That baby is 6 now. Hoping it breaks the cycle.
