No. In fact, the rate of out of wedlock births is at a historic low right now.
Anyway, here are two lessons you can carry with you from here on in:
1. Mind your own business. People like people who stay out of other people's personal shit.
2. Don't believe or pass on any rumor until you have had it confirmed from the horse's mouth. People love to bs and make up stories about others for a whole variety of reasons, so always be skeptical.

It's not "average" or normal for a 5th grader to be pregnant, but it happens. It is possible to get pregnant even before you have your period. However, I definitely do not suggest it at all. I don't understand why girls that young are having sex anyway, it's not like its cool. When I was in 5th grade (almost 12 years ago), I was embarrassed to even talk about sex.
Hope this helps!

I wouldn't say 'average' girls of that age get pregnant but yes, it does happen. In fact, various sources state that the world's youngest mother was aged just 5. You can read about the story here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

While it's very unlikely for a girl to get pregnant before her first period, it is possible. Ovulation (the release of an egg from your ovary) occurs approximately two weeks before the period. So it is possible for the egg to leave the ovary and be fertilized by sperm before a girl has ever had a period. For this reason, if a girl DOES decide to have sex at such a young age (something which I don't condone or advise at all) she should always use contraception, regardless of whether or not she has started her period.
The fact that it is possible to get pregnant so young doesn't mean it's okay. Not only are their bodies not physically ready for such trauma, they are highly unlikely to be emotionally mature enough, even if they think they are.

If you start getting your period,. Then Tecnically your body Is possible of creating and holding a baby. But it is a very emotional,. and mentally you ARE NOT READY. It is not something you want to do till your older.:P
Hope This helps:)
