Okay I Got Into A Legitimately Heated Argument With A Friend Over This. She Totally Drank The Kool-aid

Okay I got into a legitimately heated argument with a friend over this. She totally drank the kool-aid and was spouting off this shit about how women are most fertile in their teen years and are pretty much infertile by 30. I need everyone to know that in the US, the average age for first-time moms is 27 (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-read/2023/05/09/facts-about-u-s-mothers/) and teen pregnancies have double the mortality rate of parents in their 20s ("Child Development" 16th edition by Santrock, Deater-Deckard, and Lansford; page 104.)

Okay so I wrote this research paper in the fall of my Freshman year. I am currently taking two public speaking classes (long story short is that because I'm an honor's student I basically have to take the same class twice, and I'm just knocking them both out in one semester) and both have given a "talk about anything" assignment, so I'm reusing this research paper.

It's a topic that's fascinating to me, and I know I did good research and wrote a strong essay. That being said, every time I present this topic, I feel dumb as fuck because it's admittedly a little silly. But this was one of my OG brainrot subjects and I will talk about it every chance I get.
