Children, eh? Jerry Baumchen PS) I had aunts who were married when they were 15. Times have changed. The ages of those contestants is 15 - 19. Under 18 is a minor. They tend to take that more seriously these days. Not judging, but how many of those who married young ended up having perfectly healthy babies that were a couple months "premature"?"There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

JerryBaumchen 1,468 #6 July 1, 2016 Hi joe, QuoteTimes have changed. Yes, they have. However, my mother could still have gotten married today in Oregon; 17 with parental consent, which she had. As Mr. Dylan sings: Times, they are a'changin. And I was a 7-month baby, a preemie. However, she had been married about 11 months when I was born. Jerry Baumchen PS) A few years ago I read of a survey of high school seniors who were no longer virgins; I was dumb-founded. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, one thing about high school boys... they may take certain liberties when it comes to saying whether they were virgins or not. I think the percentage of those who are actual virgins are lower.
