15 year old girl gives birth in school!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 70/100. Priceless (952) 6 years ago



A 15-year-old girl has given birth in her classroom in front of stunned pupils.

The unnamed teenager went into labour on Monday just after the start of the school day at St Joseph's Catholic College, Cunliffe Road, Manningham in Bradford.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service responded to an emergency call at 9.19am and the youngster was taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary.

John Grady, a spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Leeds, said: "We can confirm that a baby was born at St Joseph's Catholic College on Friday, December 15, to one of the pupils.

"Every help is being given to the mother and child and to the immediate family of those concerned."

This is a sign of sad times in more ways than one. For starters a 15 year old girl should not be having a child, as she should not have had sex as its illegal, but how many people will call for her prosecution for it? The answer is none because she has a child now she gets the sympathy vote, thats the way the world works you can break the law as long as your in certain groups of people.

Another thing this highlights is that children in England as just plain getting fatter and this could be a real health issue. For her to not have even known is completely bizarre and to my knowledge (little as it is) I thought that would be near on impossible but forget that, the point I am making is if she can get that much fatter and no-one think anything of it, does this happen all over the country with children getting really fat and it being totally ignored?

A 15 year old girl having sex isn't illegal. What's illegal is if the guy was over 18. But girls having sex at 15 isn't illegal by any means.

It is sad, yes, that 15 year old girls are now starting to be reckless with their behavior, and I'm glad that nothing too drastic happened what with it happening at a Catholic school.

This is indeed WRONG. A child should not be having a child. Heck, there some adults that shouldn't have children.

This is a hard lesson for this young lady.

I know being a father of two and any other parents, having children is no easy task.

Live and learn I guess.

that 15yr.old is not using her head. reckless and irresponsible.


myLot reputation of 70/100. beckles21 (113)  6 years ago

Look for sure it i suppose it is wrong in our standards, but give the girl a break. all you people are going on is an article written by someone you dont know, and half of the information is cut out. Who knows if this girl knew she was pregnant and to be quite honest....is it any of our business? Another interesting question is, do parents discuss sex and precautions well enough these days, or do they expect their teenage children to get all of their information off the O.C so to speak? I am just looking at it from her point of view as i had a child at seventeen, i fell pregnant with her at sixteen. I did fall pregnant with my first sexual relationship and i am still with him. Just think of it as, there are people all over the world that have babies at a really early age.... like it or not.

This was all over the papers a week or so ago, and she didnt give birth in class, it was in the medical room. I gather from the reports that she claimed she didnt know she was pregnant. Whether that is indeed true only she can know

It surprises me that a Catholic school allowed the girl to stay in class when she was pregnant, as that goes against their beliefs. The school I went to put unwed, pregnant mothers in another school, parenting classes. It is sad that a 15 year old girl is pregnant to start with, but being Catholic, even more so. It is so important that we have open communication with our children and know what is going on in their lives so things like this don't happen. "Babies having babies" .... when is it going to stop. A 15 year old is too young to be able to care for a child.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Justme2007 (1439)  6 years ago

how did she hide it thats what I want to know. Its hard unless she was kind of chubby to start with.


myLot reputation of 63/100. april444 (991)  6 years ago

probally was fat most. fat girls already look pregnant.


myLot reputation of 76/100. annie44 (1011)  6 years ago

april that was kinda rude dont you think? havent you ever watched tv? some thin girls can hide pregnancy under baggy clothes and some dont gain alot of weight i only gained 34 pounds in my pregnany some SMALL GIRLS just dont get huge...


myLot reputation of 97/100. limosonia1 (1231)  6 years ago

A 15 year old should not be having a baby when she is a baby herself. I agree that she could have hid it. Regardless of her weight. But it makes me curious. How out of touch are we with our children that we can't notice them being pregnant. Or is it just ignored by the parent.


myLot reputation of 88/100. imadriscoll (1369)  6 years ago

Why is it assumed that no one knew? It never said that this came as a surprise to anyone.
I agree that April was being rude about fat girls looking pregnant. That type of comment really doesn't have a place here.
It is sad that 15 year old girls are having babies. I for one am glad that she didn't decide to abort the baby.

In a catholic school as well - they are very agains sex before marriage aren´t they? (sorry if I am wrong)
I do belive that this is very sad - as the girl probably fels so scared and didn´t dare to tell an adult.
I hope it works out for all of them!


myLot reputation of 97/100. sylviekitty (1045)  6 years ago

Well, true. But most religions are against it. Unfortunately, that doesn't really stop people these days. And what good is religion if a kid isn't listening or doesn't care? And has no respect for themselves and chooses not to wait (until they're at least old enough to care for a child on their own, w/out help from their parents?)

Let's hope her family is understanding and supportive!

I am glad to hear everyone is fine, but this is a child having a child!! I really feel sorry for these young people that are having children at such a young age, because I don't think some of them realize what a responsibility it will be for many years to come.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sylviekitty (1045)  6 years ago

That is why I had to stop watching shows like Jerry Springer, Maury, etc.. OMG. For the longest time it's like all I saw were teens (young teens) who were like "I'm going to die if I don't get pregnant!". They seemed to think that nobody else loved them, so they'd create somebody to love them. Forget about the fact they can't even support themselves, let alone another person. Forget the fact that this would probably mean they have to put off school- and in many cases, will probably drop out of school. There is so much to think about, and yet these kids DON'T think about it. And they think they know everything.. so it's like who can tell them any different?

It is really sad that another child will have to raise a child but hopefully the baby was healthy. It is happen all over so it really don't shock me what shocks me is that is seems like it is getting worse.
