He was so adamant he told one girl that her family information was in all likelihood simply wrong. ?! I mean, it took effort for him to say even that it might happen! : Sexual maturation kicks in at 22% body fat more reliably than a : physical age. There are many betrothal and marriage traditional : behaviours that include getting as much food into a girl as possible : (particularly fatty foods like meat, avocadoes, suchlike), probably : aimed at getting enough fat built up to jumpstart ovulation. : : O/T ..... my father was 16 when I was born. (not an arranged : marriage ... just impulse and opportunity). My daughter has many : co-workers who had children by age 16. Though early sexual behaviour : is for many reasons undesirable, and is statistically correlated with : all sorts of misfortune, it certainly happens.
