Re: Unusual Reaction To Teenage Pregnancy
in a lot of cultures having a child at that age is not unusual at all.
i used to work with some kids (mostly inner city, dominicans, other latinos, some blacks) who were always shocked that i had a long-term girlfriend and no kids at 23.

Re: Unusual Reaction To Teenage Pregnancy
My girlfriend (now wife) gave birth to my little girl (now 6)when I was 17 yrs old. My wife was about 4 months pregnant when we told our parents. We just kept putting it off b/c we were scared to death.
Both of our parents were very supportive throughout the whole ordeal. I don't know what else good parents can do in that situation. My wife and I both went to college and got married at the end of my junior year. Without the help of our parents, I doubt this would have been possible. BTW, everyone in our community was pretty shocked at the time. I was a 4.0 student and never in trouble. Abortion was never really an option for either my wife or I.

Re: Unusual Reaction To Teenage Pregnancy
My brother and his wife were 19 and 20, respectively, when she got pregnant. A little bit older, but the reactions of all the parents was the same, "yay baby!!"
When I asked my mom about it, she said "I'm worried about your brother, this will be so hard, but I am so excited to get a grandchild." Perhaps your aunt feels the same way.
