In my family, sex was almost as big of a taboo as money. My parents had a book about puberty that they bought when I was 10 or 11 and left lying around. It didn't explain what "periods" were or how people became pregnant, but I asked around. Also my mother had some of those romance novels, and I was the sort of kid who read everything in sight. I skipped the gross-out bits and decided they were boring as heck, so after two and a half I stopped trying to read them, but I quite possibly absorbed some information by accident. Eventually the end of 6th grade Health class rolled around and there was a unit on human reproduction. At age 12 I thought I'd kind of figured it out, but there was nobody to ask to make certain. Everyone besides me seemed to be in the know, and I was used to being yelled at, hit, lectured, or punished for not knowing what everyone else did. My mother quizzed me on the way to school to make sure I'd figured it out before it was introduced in class. Luckily I guessed right; I would probably have been told off or punished otherwise. But she was kind of distressed and disappointed when I admitted I'd guessed. She'd raised me to be a mind reader and I was just never good enough at it to satsify her. Later she had a conversation with my 9 year old kid brother (who wasn't expected to be a book reader OR a mind reader). It turned out he'd gotten his education from my uncle's porno stash, and therefore believed fellatio was the only cause of pregnancy. There was absolutely no discussion of birth control, sexual orientation, or anything except how to make babies. Since I disliked babies and didn't want one, I pretty much wrote off everything related to sex. I'd decided by then I was only really female from the skull outward anyway. I got revenge when I was 14 by playing an April Fool's trick on my mother and convincing her I was pregnant. It was one of the funniest things ever.

Awful that she's pregnant at 13. Hope everything works out for you both.

If it's a little girl, I think she should name it Farrah. You know, after Farrah Fawcett.

Is anybody not noticing that the girl is pregnant?! SHE'S 13!! AND SHE'S PREGNANT!!

Water babies!

The FML doesn't specifically state that the girl is pregnant, just that she thinks she is. I've had times when I've managed to scare myself into thinking I was pregnant because I happened to have all the symptoms (missed period, morning sickness, etc). I may have misread the FML, but I assumed that it meant that she told her Mum she was pregnant despite being a virgin and only using the faucet. So there's no way she can be, and the Mum's exasperation is because she thinks she can be pregnant despite only having masturbated and never having had sex.

Uhh you shouldn't use that shower head anymore...

Does she have morning sickness or something? Or am I way out of context?

like is she prego?

How? HOOOOOOOOOOW???
