My Mom was 15 years old when she got pregnant with me in Florida in 1961.
That was pretty normal for society.
It's only in recent times that it became "creepy" for real teenage girls to have sex. They used to have sex, get married, and have families before they turned 18.
Of course these days...even legal adults of 18 years of age aren't "allowed" to have a drink at a bar.
And "ObamaCare" let's them stay on mommy and daddy's insurance until they are 26 years old.
We are raising a nation of child-people.
Back in biblical times you were a "Man" at age 12. These days...you're still not a "man" at age 30.
When I was 16 I moved out of my parent's house and moved into an apartment with my 25 year old girlfriend. Played in bands in bars using a fake ID at night and went to highschool during the day.
If I tried that in 2017 my girlfriend would have been thrown in jail.
