But the exits from Emma Greenwell's Mandy and Joan Cusack's Sheila were overshadowed by a curious plotline involving one of the show's least controversial characters. Fourteen-year-old Debbie Gallagher lost her virginity to her ex-boyfriend, and she did it by date raping him.
Season 5. He and Debbie are still friends and hanging out but she wants to lose her virginity to him. At Debbie's party, after drinking Frank's newly invented beer, he is intoxicated to the point that he loses consciousness.
Debbie Gallagher planned her pregnancy. As tough as it was to watch, we saw her rationalize that a baby would somehow make her relationship with Derek better, and then proceed to inform him she was on the pill when she wasn't.
Debbie intentionally stopped taking her pill and has sex with Derek. Debbie finds out they're having a baby and expected him to be around. However, Derek is so overwhelmed with the news of being a teen father that he goes to Florida to live with his grandmother.
How old was Debbie when she got pregnant? Toward the end of a recent episode of Showtime's Shameless, the ongoing saga of the perpetually down-and-out Gallagher family, Debbie Gallagher, 15, gave birth on the kitchen table of their family home.
Debbie goes on birth control and has sex with Derek, despite being advised against doing so within 48 hours; this ultimately results in Debbie becoming pregnant, to Fiona's dismay. Lip and Amanda continue a non-exclusive relationship, though Amanda eventually begins showing feelings for Lip, which he ignores.
Debbie launches in to the world of sex. Debbie has a party and when her friend Matt (who she always wanted to be more) passes out drunk she climbs in bed beside him and after seeing his boner puts a condom on it and has sex with him - which is technically date rape but Matt won't do anything about it because he is 21.
Fiona, upon becoming pregnant by Craig Garland in Episode 208, told Veronica that she was the only girl in her school year who didn't become pregnant before receiving her GCSE's.

Fiona had become colder and less forgiving of her siblings toward the end of her time on the show, but that doesn't excuse how unappreciative Debbie was toward her. Fiona spent years prioritizing her duties as a guardian over her own happiness and financial stability, but Debbie resented Fiona's rules.
Lip was always especially critical of Fiona's parenting skills, and, when she made a mistake that sent Liam to the emergency room in season 4's "Iron City," Lip lost all faith in her ability to watch over his siblings and never truly forgave her.
Debbie becomes the head of the house.
Debbie decides to doll out the money that was left behind to her siblings on individual debit cards, giving them each $100 a week to work with.

In Shameless Season 9, Episode 14, titled "Found," Fiona found herself with $100,000 after the zoning on the abandoned lot she invested in finally went through. In the episode, a former business partner visited Fiona in her gas station job and offered her the money to buy her out of her share.
In a thoughtful Facebook post, Rossum cited her exit as an opportunity to move onto other projects. “The opportunity to play Fiona has been a gift. There are few characters — female or otherwise — as layered and dynamic” she said.
By the time of the series finale, Fiona is 30, Lip is 25, Ian is 24, Debbie is 20, Carl is 18, and Liam is 11 years old. It should be noted that all of these ages are approximate, and could vary by a year or so.
Lip was 17, Ian 15, Debbie was around 11, Carl was 9 or 10, and Liam was 18 months. Their ages didn't consistently move through the series so it's hard to tell as the series moved on. but by season 10 Fiona was around 30 making Lip 26, Ian around 24, Debbie 20, Carl 18/19 and Liam about 10.
At the end of Shameless, Lip has decided to sell the Gallagher house for a mere $75,000 — a far cry from the $250,000 he was offered by a developer before he pushed too hard and lost that deal. He is still stuck on the poverty line, working a food delivery job to support his girlfriend Tami and their son Freddie.
