Is it normal that an 11-year-old is pregnant?

Of course it's not normal. There are cases of precocious pregnancies, but they are hardly the norm - thankfully.

A child that young is not ready, physically, emotionally or mentally, to have a child of their own. It is beyond awful when it happens, particularly as it happens through child abuse.

Hope she has a job. She's gonna need to sell a LOT of girl scout cookies. :)

I find it astonishing you felt the need to ask if this is normal!

Let's see is an eleven year old girl being pregnant normal? Uuuuummmmm let me think about that...NO!

No.
When this occurs, it is usually due to rape and/or molestation. Most 11 year olds don't know or understand sex well enough to want or have it. Yes, even nowadays.

Unfortunatly, in this day in time, it's becoming more and more normal.

Why must you even need to ask the normalcy on this? Of course, it isn't normal! Just because someone's body is going through puberty doesn't mean they are ready to become parents. Unfortunately, this seems to be happening a lot nowadays. Did she say exact circumstances which caused her to be pregnant (i.e. Rape, Sexual Abuse, etc.)? You should try to find that out and talk to her on the options with the baby like Abortion or Adoption. Or better yet, it might be best for her to discuss this with a professional like a doctor or some other responsible adult.

The majority of females do not even have periods at that age. So no, pregnancy is not normal at 11. Although it does happen. Some women even give birth in their 50's. While this is possible, it is not "normal".

Not normal. I'm going to guess that an older guy has taken advantage of this child, either by force of through coercion. It is also a possible sign of bad parenting as well, I mean most parents keep a close eye on their children, seems like someone wasn't watching her close enough.

These days? It's normal.. Not right, but normal.

That's crazy why would you do that at that age.

DAFUK!

Alright, his one always gets me. There is nothing wrong with a girl who is able to get pregnant at eleven. Most girls have their periods by that age; I did, in this day and age, in the westernized society we live in, a huge stigma has become attached to it. But really, girls get their periods that young so that they have more time to reproduce. That's what a species is wired to do: reproduce. In the society we live in, people aren't accustomed to such a young girl having a baby. But that's how it was for thousands of years. And yes, it is a financial burden to have a baby, so she would most likely not be FINANCIALLY ready, but otherwise, she would be ready.

Of course its normal, when humans were dying at 16 they needed their offspring to be old enough to take care of itself.

sad to say in this day and age, yeah its kinda normal.

Absolutely not! Kids shouldn't be having kids.
Hell i'm against anyone under the age of 19 having kids.
teenagers nowadays just dont get that though, they all act oh-so-proud to have a baby kicking in their stomach when they're 15-16, it's sick.

56 pro murderers here :(

in some countries it is normal.
but not so often unless the girl is a whore in most countries today.

that is so not normal

Does it happen? Yes. The youngest person to become pregnant was Lina Medina, who was 7.

Is it normal? No way.

What I do with my girlfriend is none of your concern.

biologically, yes, any other capacity, no

No, it's not, and I don't even recommend them to go through the pregnancy and keep them. I do understand in other countries that have NO laws to protect women and children, and a lot of them can't get abortions to even save their lives.

No, it definitely is not normal. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I personally know a girl who got pregnant at 11. Just a extremely sad situation to be in at that age in general.

No. No one should have a kid until they're old enough and ready for it.
