A question about teenage girlfriends and farrangs

Remember we are talking about users not givers. Most of us have huge age difference in our lives I'm 59 the wife is 31, thats a big difference.

I don't think the question pertains to age rather then that a adult with a child. For an example an adult with a 13 year old. Now if that is what your talking about and you cared about the child you can help her and the family without making her a girlfriend, if that is the motivation.

Now the circumstances that you are in, you have not explained so it very hard to say one thing or another.

Thailand is what it is, there are 17 years olds out there with children and divorced already that does not qualify as a child in my mind. If that young lady does not hook up with someone that is going to take care of her and her family, it probably won't happen with a Thai man. Nothing is in black and white here.

Then illustration that was given in the initial post was of a individual with a wife not Thai of many years, a teenage Mia Noi, who is always on the prowl for young girls. Now if that is you, then a far as I am concerned you are wrong.

There are many many opportunities to have sex with young women here who are in the trade, there is no need to hang out at high schools and grade schools. So why ruin some young girls life, that is the point.

excellent, nothing else needs to be said.

Just thought this was a interesting aspect of what we have been discussing here. How many Thia guys you think are going to be lining up to take care of these young ladies and the babies. Again don't misunderstand my question. It is not a carte blanch for all situations some times that older farrang stepping can be a blessing. Remember I'm only speaking of the users not givers.

On my side of the coin I have raised enough chidren to know I don't want a teenage wife.

Most young mums still schoolgirls

BANGKOK: -- Almost 78 per cent of young mothers in Bangkok became pregnant while they were school students, research has found.

Passanant Assawarak, of King Mongkut's University of Technology Thon Buri, carried out an in-depth study subsidised by the National Culture Commission of mothers in several emergency homes for girls in the capital.

It found 43 per cent were aged between 14 and 20 and got pregnant after sex with high-school boyfriends. A further 34.7 per cent were under 14 and in primary education, while others were
vocational students, university students, or uneducated.

Some 70 per cent were first-time mothers, while 14 per cent were victims of sexual assault.

Prisana Pongthadsirikul, secretary-general of the Commission, told a press conference yesterday that 34.7 per cent of their partners were high-school boys, 24 per cent were in primary education, 10 per cent were vocational students.

Most of the mothers said they did not dare to have an abortion, but 21 per cent admitted they had attempted to abort the babies but failed.

The poll also found 3,200 out of 10,373 people calling a Child Protection Foundation hotline were pregnant students. Some said they wanted to commit suicide.
