Babies having Babies?!?!

Now most of my blogs are inspired by Youtube as usual, but this particular story just made my stomach hurt. The story is about a 10 year old girl in Spain who recently had a baby. This little girl got pregnant at the age of 9 and this seriously is an issue. The baby's father is also a minor as well, and both of the families appear to be okay with this, because it is considered the norm for some people in Spain. Last time I checked, it just is NOT normal to have a child when you are that young! I mean you aren't even fully developed at that age. Gross!!

When I was 9 years old, I enjoyed my childhood (to the best of my ability). I had no idea what sex was, nor did I care to find out. I didn't even have my period yet, and I sure as heck wasn't even done developing yet. Who thinks about gettin it in with someone at 9?

Why is it becoming more and more socially acceptable for kids to have kids? If I have a daughter, do I need to get her on the birth control patch as soon as her period starts? I mean, really....

I'm 27 years old, and I am scared to death at the idea of being a mother...I simply have no idea how to parent a child, but if it happened I think I could prepare a lot better than a child could. It's hard enough to feed myself, I most def am not trying to feed someone else.

Babies are bundles of joy and wonderful to have, but not too great to have when you aren't ready. Sadly enough, if this child was born in the U.S., I'm almost confident that the child would get Medicaid, WIC benefits, and food stamps. Not saying these resources are a bad thing, but just saying it is what a 9 year old would have to rely on most likely.

I think parents need to do a better job of educating their children on the "birds and the bees" as early as 8 years old it seems like. The kids keep getting younger and younger, and that's just disgusting. I'm not for abortions, so I do agree in making the child have the baby, but I don't know if the child should keep the baby or not..Adoption sounds like a great option in this situation, because seriously, this could be more like her little sister or brother instead of her actual child. Obviously the 9 year old cannot get a job to support her baby, since she's a minor, right? SMH...

Moral of this story is parents talk to your kids, the earlier the better, or else you will find yourself raising another child....
