It's funny you say that its an old fashioned opinion because I think its quite a new thing. Most people seem to frown upon teenagers getting married and starting families, yet alot of older people I know seemed to have done all that before they were 20.
I dont think there is anything wrong with young parents or single parents, my mum had me when she was young, and now she is a single parent and I think she does a brilliant job (though some on here might suggest that I turned out badly

) , and I'm sure my brother and sister will both turn out well too.
I think the only thing I have a bit of a problem with is older women getting pregnant, but perhaps that isn't right of me, i'm not sure.
