Adult fathers, responsible for 26.7% of births to very young adolescents, were a mean of 8.8 years older than the mother. The risk factors for adult compared to adolescent paternity were as follows: father’s educational attainment of at least 3 years below that considered adequate for his age [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 8.34], father’s (AOR = 2.46) or mother’s (AOR = 1.36) educational attainment 1-2 years below that considered adequate for their age, mother’s birthplace outside the United States (AOR = 3.12), and father’s Hispanic ethnicity (AOR = 1.60) or African-American race (AOR = 1.50).
Please don’t spread misinformation, your “fact” is flat-out wrong.
In fact, the father is probably much older… and very often 20+
Neither of you are dropping facts. You’re both talking about hypotheticals and not accounting for facts at all.
This data is from the 90s. But here’s some facts.

Thank you, better than idiots treating “probably” as fact. Smdh
