Every week, my husband, myself, and a few of our friends get together for 'family dinner'. We are all pretty recent college graduates and we are very busy, so we take just a few hours every Wednesday to sit down and relax, eat a healthy meal and catch up. It is always interesting to see where the topics go, and this week was especially interesting - and I am shocked by how much I relate so much of what happens in my day to day life of what I am learning in this class. This is my final blog post and while I was not very excited to take this class because of what I 'thought' it was going to be about - I am very happy I stuck with it.
Anyway, one of the topics we talked about at 'family dinner' was having children young. We were discussing if we had kids, what is the oldest they could possibly be. We decided to look up the youngest mothers in the world, and we found out at this site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_youngest_birth_mothers.
5 years, 7 months is the youngest mother in the world. That means she was FOUR YEARS OLD when she got pregnant!!! Some of the notes on that website are incredibly interesting, and also very disturbing. Without any of my prodding, the topic turned to incest, since much of the cases on that website are with family members, and also to child molestation, which is two topics that we have recently talked about in class. What I also found very interesting is that I mostly observed the conversation, and watched as five guys discussed this topic. I am glad that they all thought it was disgusting and disturbing.
