Your "ingredients" for having sex are obsolete. Those have nothing to do with the physiological and biological reasons for the desire to have sex. No, they probably didn't realize the potential consequences of their actions, but that doesn't make them bad and doomed kids, it means they were misguided and did something they shouldn't have.
I'm not trying to assume anything about you, but from your comments, am I correct if I gather that you would tell your daughter that she'd ruined her life and her education and that you would think and treat her and your grandchild as a burden? Hmmm...Those types of sentiments are what keep up the cycle and misinformation that puts kids in these types of situations in the first place.

this is only my opinion, i have no intention to offend.
in the real world, if you make a choice you must accept the consiquences.
these kids now have to accept responsibility, they thought they knew what they wher doing and the fact is they did it, no one pressured them or forced them.. i dont think that any parent would stand by there child and say yes kids it is ok to have sex at such a young age and dont worry about protection, you dont need it....
to be honest i would hate to be a parent in this situation and believe that i would educate my daughter about being responsible. if this case occured (in wich i doubt), but i yes i would tell her that she has ruined her education and future. I would not disown my daughter or grandchild, i would support them both.
how does this child now young mother complete her education? keeping in mind that there are now 6 children to support on the young mothers side of the family, if her parents are at work earning money to feed the family and pay the bills?
oh thats right her parent/s dont work because they are being supported by the taxpayers.....the 15yr old mother needs to stay at home to care for the baby and bond with her child - this is now her full time job.
the father is 13yrs old, is he even old enough to get a job? maybe mcdonalds will give him some shift work @ $4 an hour, what about his education?
everything cost money!!!
we have evolved beyond and above - that the man goes to work and i the bread winner and women must stay at home to bear children and raise the family and keep the home in order.
ww2 opened the door to women to join the work force and gave women there independance, in this day and age women are career driven, and choose to have a family and settle down later on in life.
if you want to have nice things in your life, such as cars, owning a home , going on holidays etc, you need to have a good job, the only way to get a good job is to be well educated.
there is nothing easy about having children, it is constant hard work and costs money but in the long term very rewarding.
it is a parents responsibility to make sure our kids are safe, productive and heading down the right path, but sometimes kids want to grow up to fast and will go against what the parens have taught.
yes i do believe that having a child at such a young age will impact not only your life but also your childs life, kids do not like responsibility... how many times do you think a parent asks their child to do their homework and clean their room before the kids will actually do it.
this isnt like playing with a baby born doll - meaning that when you have had enough play time for the day and want to go out with your friends you put it back on the shelf.
it is not the new born childs fault, it didnt ask to be brought into this world. it is not a good start for their life either.
these kids will realize this sooner than later, they have made a choice that only an mature young adult/ adult should make and they have suffered the consiquences, this is why i stand by the fact that young children are not mature enough to make these decisions nor responsible enough to be parents and raise a child,they are only children themselves.
they should be busy being kids, going to school, playing with their friends, going to the movies and simply just having fun, not making babies.
the whole thing is questionable, personally i dont agree with it and the 2 children made a stupid choice by engaging in activities that they need not concern themselves about.....
this is a serious can of worms that has been opened.
