The youngest confirmed mother was Lina Medina of Peru, who gave birth at the age of five years, seven months, and 21 days. That's kinda young!

So you are saying that now we have a healthy understanding of sexuality as compared to 50’s?

If yes, then is THAT the reason why 6 or 7 year girls now getting early periods?

I am saying that society has a more realistic understanding of the biology and psychology of sex today than society had in the 1950s.

OK and how does that relate to the situation presented in OP to which I was directly replying?

I am not a Christian but based on my knowledge of religion. I would say that God created humans and allowed young girls to get pregnant to give mankind an opportunity to follow his word regarding remaining chaste until marriage. Since sexual activity seems to be occurring at younger ages, it would stand to reason that sexual maturity would follow suit to give these girls the opportunity to follow God's word.

Before someone mentions about rape pregnancy, We can only try to understand that there are things known to God that are not known to us. We can only have faith that there is a greater plan for rape pregancies than we are given knowledge of. And that something which may seem bad and unfair might actually be for the greater good.

But then, I'm not a Christian.

But that doesn’t mean rapists should be dealt with any lesser than the maximum possible punishment by law.

I responded to your question of, "So you are saying that now we have a healthy understanding of sexuality as compared to 50’s?"

As far as your other question ("If yes, then is THAT the reason why 6 or 7 year girls now getting early periods?")...I don't know. Perhaps you're an expert on girl's periods. I'm not.

Did u notice a question mark at the end of my sentence?
Think about it, how can I be the expert when I am asking a question instead of giving you a lecture to indicate my expertise on the subject? Common sense, isn’t it?

On the other hand I still don’t understand how are your responses related to OP?

My apology. To be honest, I often find your responses to be sarcastic, and I didn't realize this one wasn't.

Ya. I don't know where his mind was.

Just as an aside, the avo pit was even larger relative to the flesh before man came along and did some selective breeding.
