Teen pregnancy, making the headlines since 1BC. What happened with Mary would have been an outrage, getting pregnant before being married was unheard of in those times and certainly not acceptable. People would've thought that using 'God' as a cover up for having sex before marriage was blasphemous and have ridiculed Mary for her words. Imagine being 16 years old again, imagine being pregnant and knowing you hadn't had sex, but nobody believing you. Imagine all your friends turning their back on you in the time you needed them most to support you. Imagine the responsibility of carrying God's son within your body. Things weren't easy for Mary.
