10-year-old Mother in Spain

[Kura]

It depends. I've done some reading that indicates puberty is hitting little girls earlier and earlier. It's fairly traditional for boys around 13 to have puberty onset, usually starts around 12 for them.

The theory is being tossed around that since a modern diet is so healthy, relative to what our dirt-eating ancestors had, and makes calories so abundant, our children may become able to attain full physical maturity earlier than previous generations. There's also writing that suggests modern humans are just evolving in that direction to adapt to current conditions.

A lot of girls of my generation had their periods around 12 or 13. Once you have your period, you can reproduce (though it's not necessarily a good idea). It's really not all that far-fetched to imagine a girl having her period at 10.

I think I had my period at 10 @_@ So it's not impossible..

What a slut.

I believe you're roughly one generation behind me, too... and the girl in the article would be a Millennial. So, yeah, just how things are now.

I wouldn't criticize the girl too much. Even if she's physically mature enough to have a baby, she's still mentally ten. Think about all the stupid **** (general) you did when you were ten, sometimes just because some other stupid kid nagged you into it.

Now, her parents? I would criticize the **** out of them. It's not even a matter of moral propriety-- pregnancies are much more dangerous to girls whose bodies are still developing. It's not good for the baby, either.

Puberty must be starting ridiculously early in kids these days - I would have thought (hoped) that a 10-year-old girl and 13-year-old boy wouldn't be biologically capable of reproducing yet :sweat:

Did anyone in the UK watch that documentary about gypsy weddings that was on a while ago? Yes, the brides were very young but they were about 16 or 17 ... not 10

It is. It's the effect of industrializing food. I read about eating meat shifts hormone levels, but I don't yet know how it works. Europe is more liberal than here in places like Italy, France, and Spain. They drink younger, they smoke younger, and they do things that most people here wouldn't do until they were older.

back in Peru, over 40 years ago, a 5 year old got pregnant, without sex, semen found it's way inside.

I've heard of that, too. Trends aside, there will always be insane outliers.

I hope the girl will be okay.

Oh, dear god.

I don't like where this goes....

As disgusting as it was, how is this a "pedobear"-like situation? Pedophilia only occurs with people who are considered adults which engages in sexual activity or interest with prepubescent children. In the case of adolescent pedophiles, the partner is supposed to be 5 years younger to be considered as such. The father of that 10-year old girl's baby is just 13 years old, so I don't think it fits the criteria.

All I'm saying is, your statement is misleading that "Pedobear strikes again!".

:sayin:

.....So.....Pedobear is Romanian?

Oh, dear god.

I think it already went there, hence the pregnant 10 year old.

I didn't expect anything less from Spain....
