That makes Jamie-Lynn's nearing motherhood out and out normal.

I know. I'm not implying pregnancy at 9 years old is normal, that's actually really a serious problem. But a 16 years pregnancy isn't anything shocking in my opinion (I think people are overreacting to this), because almost all girls have already reached puberty and are fully grown up when they're 16 (I'm not saying grown up as in maturity, though, girls do mature faster than guys anyway). Of course it's better to avoid and prevent earlier pregnancies (even on 16) because they have their share of risks + the social problems related to the young mother physiology and behavior.
