It's sad to realize, but there are children in the world who were not destined to play enough toys, they lost their childhood too early. And all because they themselves became parents.
The laws of biology, and morality, say that a little girl plays dolls, a young woman gives birth and brings up children, and the grandmother is happy to babysit with her grandchildren. But it does not always happen. Still a young girl becomes a mother, and games with dolls are followed by the care of the baby. Whether it is right or wrong is not for us to judge. We just collected for you a few stories about the youngest moms, and even daddies, and their uneasy destinies.
1. The youngest mother in the world
The earliest pregnancy and the earliest births were recorded by physicians in 1939. The youngest mother was the 5-year-old Peruvian girl Lina Medina, who was born in September 1933. Her "record", fortunately, is still not beaten. Lina's parents brought the girl for an examination to the doctor, concerned about the increase in the belly of the girl, suspecting the worst. Upon examination, the doctors found that the girl is in the seventh month of pregnancy. Lina's mom confirmed that her first menstruation began at the age of three. On May 14, 1939, Lina Medina gave birth to a boy by a cesarean section, which was necessary.
The boy, who was born, weighed 2.7 kilograms and was named after Dr. Gerardo who performed the operation. All the responsibility for raising the child was assumed by Lina's parents, and up to the age of 9 Gerardo considered Lina his sister. Who was the father of this child, no one knows to this day. Lina herself never talked about it. Already an adult, she married and in 1972 gave birth to a second child. The youngest mother in the world died in November 2015, having outlived her eldest son by almost 40 years. Gerardo died in 1979 from brain cancer. Cases of such early puberty in girls are extremely rare, but this fact is not unique.
2. Little Lisa from Kharkov
The story of this little six-year-old girl is sad and tragic at the same time. In 1934, the earliest pregnancy was recorded in the USSR. It's sad that Lisa got pregnant from her grandfather, who lived with her and her parents. Grandfather "looked after" the baby when her parents were at work. In 1934, in the USSR, cesarean sections were performed extremely rarely because of the risk of infection. Mass production of the first antibiotic began, as is known, in 1943. Therefore, the birth of Lisa passed naturally. Even it's hard to imagine what this little girl experienced during childbirth. Despite the fact that the newborn boy was healthy and full, he died at birth - Liza prematurely dropped the umbilical cord.
For obvious reasons the girl's parents changed their place of residence. It is not clear that the same grandfather went to a new place of residence with them. The further fate of Lisa is not known for certain.
3. Ilda Trujillo
Another Peruvian girl, Ilda Trujillo, became a mother at the age of nine. She gave birth to a girl in a hospital in Lima in late 1957. The baby was born in the weight of 2.7 kilograms. It turned out that the girl's father was 22-year-old cousin Ilda, who lived with a girl in one room. The young man was arrested the same day when his parents learned of Ilda's pregnancy.
4. Valya Isayeva
This girl became a mother in 11 years in 2005. All the newspapers wrote about her history, and the girl was repeatedly invited to participate in various TV programs. Studying in the 5th grade, Valya began to meet with a tenant from Tajikistan Habib, who was just 17 years old. Soon the girls learned of the pregnancy law enforcement agencies and the guy started a criminal case. To save him from prison helped the public, who rose to protect young parents. Valya and Habib lived together, raised their daughter Amina. After Vale was 17 years old, the young people were married, and they had a son, Amir. Habib Patakhonov from Tajikistan can safely be called one of the youngest fathers.
5. Nadya Hnatiuk
This girl from Ukraine became a mother, too, at 11 years old. She gave birth to a girl Marina. Despite the fact that the father of the baby was Nadi's own father, the girl was born healthy and full. The court sentenced the rapist father to 10 years in prison. Nadia after some time married with 24-year-old Valery and gave birth to Andrei's son, again becoming a mother at the age of 14. True, she could not finish school.
6. Maria from Romania
Romanian gypsy Mary became a mother at 11 years old. And this only confirms the fact that in Roma early childbirth is, rather, a norm than an exception. After all, the girl's mother gave birth to her at the age of 12. Maria gave birth to a healthy boy, and her mother became the youngest grandmother in 23 years.
7. Veronica Ivanova
A young Yakut girl became a mother in 12 years. She managed to hide her pregnancy until the last moment because she was always a little plump girl. Parents, teachers and classmates believed that Veronica just gained some weight. The reason for this gain in weight was found only before the very birth. The father of the child was a 19-year-old boy, previously convicted for the distribution of drugs. This time the young man got behind bars for molesting a minor. Veronica grows a daughter and lives in a civil marriage with another man.
8. Schoolgirl from Great Britain
Another young mother lives in the UK. She was 12 years old when she gave birth to a healthy girl weighing 3.175 kg. The boy's father is a friend of a schoolgirl who lives in the neighborhood. Close relatives of the youngest supported them. Young people hope to continue to be together and take care of the child. And when they reach the right age, they plan to get married. While schoolchildren continue their studies, and their names for ethical and legal reasons are not disclosed.
9. The youngest parents from China
This story occurred in China in 1910. It was so incredible that at first the doctors themselves tried to hush the fact of the birth of the child from two children. When the baby was born, his mother was 8 years old, and his father was 9 years old. But is it concealed? In the end, these two children got their legal page in the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest parents in the world.
10. Sean Stewart
In January 1998, the schoolchild Sean Stewart became a father in the United Kingdom at the age of 12. His 16-year-old girlfriend Emma Webster gave him a son.

11. Alfie Patten
Becoming a father in 13 years, this handsome boy was a star in Britain. His girlfriend 15-year-old Chantal gave birth to a girl. Alfie showed maximum responsibility and from the first days began to diligently take care of the baby. Unfortunately, this story did not have a happy ending. According to the results of the DNA test, the girl's father was not Alfie, and another boyfriend Chantal - 14-year-old Tyler Barker. Alfie's mother confessed that her son cried a long time when he found out about it. After all, he, in fact, is still a child. But will he again be able to believe in sincere feelings as an adult?

Another young father from the UK. This is Nathan Fishburne, who got a child at the age of 14. His son Jamie gave birth to him the same age as April Webster. The young father confessed that young people did not plan this pregnancy, but he is glad that it happened.
