This is one of the girls I met when living in the Caribbean. Beautiful and poor at 13, first baby at 14, 5 babies from 5 different man by 18 years old. No education, mom and grandmother in the same situation. Every time they meet a man, they hope he will stay and feed all the kids. But a few girls escape this sort and manage to study, make a good life for themselves, a career, and are of support to their families. I love their perseverance.
