Even if you didn't stop it, or want to stop it, or did whatever you felt necessary to seduce him into taking him to bed with you, he was of the age of majority, you were of the age of minority, which by definition of the law of most states, was rape.

Ya know, trying to convince the girl she was raped if she wasn't (in the real, coercive sense, not statuatory rape) is not doing her any favors.

As for wanting a baby at 17... seems to be a common form of craziness (using the laymen's definition, mind you) afflicting young women. Maybe it's a leftover survival trait, I don't know.

It happened a lot at my high school, certainly (which had a day care, used by students, that some of my classmates went to when they were kids -- teen pregnancy is NOT a new phenomenon). Including to girls who sure as hell should have known better.
