when my grandmother was pregnant with my aunt (1960) she was only 15 years old. She wasn't allowed to go to school anymore. She didn't show herself in public spaces. She didn't speak of it. Her parents were understandably ashamed.
my aunt was born just two days before her 16th birthday; my mother came along 2-3 years later, and her younger sister about 5 years after that.
you'd think they would have figured it out at some point that unprotected sex = unwanted children that will resent you forever, but either contraceptives were super faulty back then or people were just stupid as hell.
