Hey YouTube, Jim here.
Welcome to Top10Archive!
What did you want to be when you grew up?
A fireman?
A nurse?
Maybe a trust fund baby?

13.
Or, heck, even five!
Yet it still happens!
Otherwise, how else could we provide you with this Archive of ten young parents you wouldn’t
believe exist!
Before we get into the list…
I think it’s time we had…
“The talk.”
You know, the one about the subscribe button, the bell, and the thumbs up.

Lina Medina Five-years-old!
At that age, many kids are enjoying the wonders of Spongebob Squarepants, Dora the Explorer,
and Sesame Street.
In 1930s Ticrapo on the Castrovirreyna Province of Peru, five-year-old Lina Medina was dealing
with the side effects of being pregnant.
Originally thought to have had a tumor, when Medina was brought to a local hospital, she
was found to have been in month seven of her pregnancy.
At her age, Medina was – and remains – the youngest mother ever recorded.

Luisa Arenas In 2006, Luisa Arenas of Bajo Cauca, Antioquia
wound up at General Hospital of Medellin with a problem no 11-year-old should have.
In her 30th week of pregnancy, Arenas was facing the threat of a premature birth, which
was compounded by a urinary infection.
On December 25th, 2006, Arenas gave birth, but it wasn’t the first time she had gone
through the pain of childbirth.
Though she was just barely over a decade old, Arenas was a mother of two.

Mum-Zi At the age of 17 on the island of Calabar,
Nigerian teenager Mum-Zi welcomed a new baby into the world – as a grandmother.
Nine years earlier, Mum-Zi, as a member of Chief Akkiri’s harem, was pregnant with
her child, Zi.
Allegedly, in December of 1884, at the age of eight years and four months, Mum-Zi gave
birth to Zi who, in August 1893 at eight years and eight months old, gave birth to her own
child.

Alleshia Gregson Alleshia Gregson’s mother, Cherryl, received
quite the surprise when her 12-year-old daughter texted her to say, “I’m pregnant and I
think it’s coming.”
It’s a message no mother would want to get, but it wasn’t the last time she would hear
that Alleshia was with child.
Within three years, the young Alleshia gave birth to two children.
The father of both children was a friend of Alleshia’s, another teenager that would
be entered into Britain’s surprisingly long list of teenage parents.

Nathan Fishbourne and April Webster “We’ll be good parents.”
Everyone hopes that, when they proclaim such a thing, they’ll stick to it; but when the
parents are two 13-year-olds, it’s certainly a roll of the dice.
In 2010, April Webster and Nathan Fishbourne of Caerphilly, South Wales became Britain’s
youngest parents.
After the birth of Jamie, April’s parents stepped in to ensure their teenaged daughter
and Jamie’s father could remain in school.

Sean Stewart and Emma Webster Just one of dozens of young parents in Great
Britain, in 1998, Sean Stewart became the youngest of them when his 16-year-old girlfriend
Emma Webster gave birth to their son.
It all started when Sean and his parents moved next door to the Websters in 1996.
Shortly after, the young pair became a couple and, by 11 and 15-years-old, they were expecting
their newborn.
While a child could easily derail a teenager’s life, the two were able to continue their
education as originally planned.

Valentina Isaeva In 2004, at 11-years-old, Valentina Isaeva
became the youngest mother in Russia when she gave birth to a baby girl.
Though her boyfriend and father of the child, Habib, is also young and lives in Tajikistan,
he’s done his best to remain in the child’s life.
The youthful couple find a way to come together on a regular basis to be proud parents.
3.
Tia Davies and Jordan Williams When Shem Davies was stopped by hospital staff
on his way to see his daughter, Tia, their demands to see his ID may have confused him.
You see, at 29-years-old, Shem seemed too young to be the 14-year-old girl’s father,
but when he and girlfriend Kelly John were 15-years-old, they, too, were welcoming life
into the world.
Even Tia’s boyfriend, Jordan Williams, is a youthful 15-years-old.
Here’s a fun game: Look at this picture and try to determine which is Jordan and which
is Shem.
Go ahead and leave a comment with your prediction.

The Anonymous Teenagers of Britain Pride isn’t something you’d expect to
feel when you hear that your 12-year-old daughter and her 13-year-old boyfriend bring life into
the world, but the father of this anonymous teenage mum was apparently just happy that
she wasn’t doing drugs.
When the young couple welcomed their baby girl in 2014, they nabbed the title of Britain’s
youngest parents – a title that seems to wind up in Daily Mail quite a bit.

Tyler Barker and Chantelle Steadman It’s an unforgettable image that circulates
the web through thumbnails and plenty of news coverage.
Two very young individuals are enjoying each others’ company with PlayStation 4 controllers
in hand.
In the young boy’s lap, a newborn sleeps peacefully.
At first glimpse, it’s clearly a trio of siblings enjoying time with one another; but
as you dig deeper, you find out the truth behind this image of 15-year-old Chantelle
Steadman and 12-year-old Alfie Patten.
They’re the parents of newborn Maisie.
Or, rather, Alfie was thought to be the father until a DNA test proved 15-year-old Tyler
Barker to be the real dad.
In a Maury turn of events, Alfie dodged the bullet of being Britain’s youngest father.
Thanks for watching!
