I seriously doubt that a 13 year old could manage a household of her own and bring up a baby without adult assistance even if she wasn't still supposed to be receivng her education.

Couldn't agree more Willow, was no argument here, just that it is only the way we have evolved as a species that we have not prepared them 'emotionally' in our day and age, but, in nature's eyes, they are quite capable. This is what we would call the split between humans and animals I suppose. However, still there is this war we are fighting between biology and sociology, and to take up Tinks point .. how do we really know when 'we' consider they are ready ? Different countries have varying attitudes, but only because it fits in with the way they are socially structured (or lack of it sometime)
