Some Xeph stats:
Age: 28
Children: 2 (both boys so far)
Lost Virginity: 15
Regret it? Not really.
I'm not old and I'm not young. I am a parent. My first son was born in 1995, so I was 18 and his mom was 16. This obviosuly was NOT ideal, but an abortion wasn't something either of us wanted. We got engaged a few years later and a couple years after that we split up. We're still good friends, my son is a very bright, well-adjusted kid. Nobody gets any welfare... he'll not drop out of school (if he fears for his life that is). Just because situations aren't always ideal does not mean everything goes to hell in a handbasket. Sometimes it's just a matter of BEING mature at a younger age and being able to deal with such things. I coped and so did she. She finished high school (despite the school district not being thrilled) and even wrote a story for the school paper about being a pregnant teenager (and later a teen mom). She explained very well that it wasn't perfect, and all that she had to go through to make it work. But she did it anyway. Now she's 26 and has a beautiful little girl as well. She has a normal life, and isn't any different or worse off than anyone else her age. She isn't emotionally scarred or financially incapable. She works (hard), owns a house and does great.
Again, there are 30 y/o couples that have kids and can't handle it half as well. In the end, age has little to do with it... every person is different.
