There are inherent risks to both her and the baby. Lower birth weight, premature labor, and other things. A 13 year old girl's body isn't ready to bear children, despite the fact that it can.

Most responsible dog breeders wouldn't breed a bitch on her first couple heats. Why? Because the dog's body isn't ready yet. And neither is a girl's.
And I would never recommend that a 13-year-old engage in sexual activity and thus risk the possibility of pregnancy. But this is a different question than what I would recommend for a 13-year-old who was already pregnant.

Most girls, if they are pregnant at 13, have no idea what raising a baby is. They think that they get to play dress up with a real live doll, and it will be fun and games. They have no concept of 2am feedings, colic, diaper changes, breast feeding vs bottle feeding, etc. Or how much it costs to raise a baby.
And the most important words you wrote are "most girls."

That is one reason why each case should be considered individually.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
