I grew up in a small midwest town in the 50s and the first girl in my school class to get pregnant was in the 7th grade. So sex and juveniles isn't exactly a new thing.
So 16 a 17 year old got as far as 7th grade? That's impressive.
My head asplode!

i dont care if she cried it, did it, or was put up to it. im more concerned that society has gotten to the point where the possibility of prepubescents being involved in these sorts of things is a reality. does parenting exist anymore?

"does parenting exist anymore?" So long as society-as-a-whole is willing to continue pretending that the sort of fatuous reasoning (may Socrates overlook that misuse of the word) exemplified in the posts made by "WormBait" and "DemonChow" is reasonable and worthy of any sort of consideration --- then, NO, parenting doesn't exist anymore and things can only continue to get worse.

Yikes! Such premature pregnancy is extremely rare in medical practice. Extremely early childbirth was registered in 1910, when a couple of Chinese children became world's youngest parents: the father was nine years and the mother was eight. A six-year-old girl from the USSR became world's youngest mother in 1930. The record was beaten in 1939, though, when five-year-old Lina Medina from Peru became a mother.
