By IAN DRURY, Daily Mail08:52am 12th May 2006
A girl is to become Britain's youngest mother after becoming pregnant at 11.
The girl smokes 20 cigarettes a day despite being eight months' pregnant. She conceived aged 11 when she lost her virginity to a boy of 15 on a drunken night out with friends.The 15-year-old has since been charged with rape by police, and is due to appear again at Edinburgh sheriff court on July 10.
She will be 12 years and 8 months when she has the child next month. Jenny Teague, Britain's youngest mother until now, was a month older when she gave birth in 1997.

The youngster, who lives near Edinburgh, says looking after her younger brothers has prepared her for motherhood.
But the girl admits she "panics and cries" when babies are unwell and does not feel able to bathe them.
The mother-to-be, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had unprotected sex with the teenage boy, who also cannot be identified, while drunk last August.
'Excited'
She told the Sun: "I didn't think I'd get pregnant because it was my first time. But I'm really excited and looking forward to being a mum.
"I can't wait to take the baby swimming and out for walks in the pram. I think I'll be able to cope as I've had lots of practice looking after my brothers.
"I know how to feed a baby its bottle and I can change nappies. But I panic and cry if they're sick and I don't like giving them a bath because I'm a bit frightened.
"It's good to know I'll have my mum here to help me if I need her."
Concerned she might be pregnant, the girl visited a GP three times but tests proved negative. She learned the truth after buying a home-testing kit from a supermarket.
After the device displayed two blue lines, indicating she was pregnant, she pleaded with a female relative to break the news to her mother. The girl, who has been suspended from her first year of secondary school for fighting, said: "I was paranoid about what my mum was going to say and just frightened about being pregnant too.
"I knew straight away that I couldn't have an abortion because that's something I don't believe in.
"I was upset and so was my mum, especially as she'd just had my wee brother. We had a big argument and I ended up locking myself in my room and running away to a friend's.
"It was really hard but it's brought me and my mum closer, which is good. I knew my mum would stand by me no matter what, but I told her straight away I was going to keep the baby.
"The social worker suggested I got rid of it but I'd never do that."
Smoking at nine
The girl, who has shoulder-length dark hair, began smoking at nine and started drinking tonic wine and vodka cocktails at ten. She claimed her cigarette habit was not harming the health of her unborn child.
She said: "I can give up smoking at any time, but I don't find it affects my pregnancy."
The girl, whose parents split up several years ago, said she would like a baby boy - and may call him Leo.
She is currently being educated at a local community centre but knows she must return to school.
She told the Sun: "My mum has said she will look after the baby so I can go to school. I don't know what I want to do with my life when I leave. I used to want to be a nursery nurse, but now I'm not so sure."
'Proud of my daughter'
Her mum said: "I'm not ashamed of my daughter at all - in fact, I'm proud of her for keeping the baby.
"I know she's worried what other people will say but she can walk out there with her head held high.
"At first I wasn't too happy about becoming a gran. But now I'm used to the idea. I'm really looking forward to having another baby in the house."
The Scottish Conservatives has called for society and families to unite to change attitudes towards sex following the news.
Ha! Good for her.
Next time she'll stop and drop before before hopping on someone's cock.

Maybe you just dont understand there are several different kinds of rape, not only the "I said no" kind. The girl very well may have wanted to rock the cock.
More then likely , the mother of the boy said 'She was dressed like a tart'
And all this was at a party with fifteen year old's , now ether she's a really tall 11 year old or those are some damn stumpy teenagers.
Just to clear things up...
Rape: Unwanted sexual intercourse
Statutory rape: When two people have sex and one or both are under the age of consent... ergo they can't legally give consent for sexual intercourse.
If you're going to have sex at 11, ffs at least get educated 🙄 "I thought I couldn't get pregnant because it was my first time." Do we need to start giving 8 year olds sex ed now?
This happens because our pathetic government encourages it, whether they want to admit it or not. That girl will be offered a flat, fully paid for and more benefits than any one person will need. She will not have to find a penny for herself. The British Government makes the mistake of paying for this crap.
Personally, I feel that as she broke the law by having underage sex, she ought to be bloody punished.

A drunk guy meets a hot girl in a party, he asks her if she wants to go upstairs... she says yes. They go upstairs to the bedroom and have sex.
If that was how it happened, I don't think it's right to charge him with rape.
If that was how it happened, I'd question anyone's judgment who classifies any 11-year old as a hottie!

And what did we learn? Never endorse Bardock42 as a finder of lost children.
