Teenage Pregnancy Reviews

I'm 16 and about to have my 1st child in 3days. i don't think there is a lack of sexual education because any1 who is sexually active can fall pregnant. every teenager knows theres a risk they could fall pregnant or get a STD. contraception isn't always 100% effective as i found out. i think it takes a lot of maturity to actually go through with ...

I work for a television company called Mentorn Media. We're making a series about underage teenage pregnancy and I'm really keen to hear your story.

The programmes will follow young mum's-to-be through pregnancy and birth on television and online. Positive and fun it's not about making judgments - it's about telling the real stories of teenagers who are pregnant and hearing about your experiences in your words. We want to prove it's not all Vicky Pollard!

We'd really like to hear from you as we're looking for a mix of teenage mums-to-be from a variety of different backgrounds. If this sounds interesting then please drop me a line on or email me on cwilby@mentorn.tv

My mum and dad were teenage parents in the 1960's, and believe me, I doubt they'd recommend it. They all but lost their youth and I know my Dad resented this for many years, and wasnt mature enough at the time to realise that those feelings of regret can be passed from one generation to another and seriously marr a childs upbringing. My mum and ...

----<Ignorance>---- Before I had my own child, a beautiful daughter, and before I was taking "skills in counselling" classes, my view on both single and teenage parents was not one I was proud off. I had held the view that these were young girls trying to do anything to "act" grown up or to maybe gain a ...

Teenage pregnancy is an issue tht everyone has something to say about and usually its something bad. I have personal experience of teenage pregnancy which I would like to share with everyone, maybe what I have to say wont sway the negative views that people have but I want people to hear my side of the story. I first became pregnant at the ...

This is actually an old review of mine, originally posted on Ciao, due to this it is a little outdated - my daughter is going to be four this summer! I felt the need to repost it here, after reading a recent review on the matter, and it re sparking that irritation I had way back when people were busy judging me (instead of looking at themselves). ...

Teenage pregnancy is such a general term. There is a huge different in a 14 year old getting pregnant and a 19 year old mum to be. I personally would come under this term when i had my first (at 16). I must admit i was not a steryotypical 'teenage mum' as i achieved As and Bs in my highers and have brought up my son together with his ...

Just before I start, I do not wish to offend anybody in anyway with this discussion, and I am also not ‘having a go’ at people who got pregnant when they were teenagers. &#61514; Why do teenagers get pregnant at such a young age? Is it lack of sex education? Not wanting to use condoms? Abortions being readily ...

What is all the fuss about??? Who are we to think that we know what is best and right for every other person in this country??? I think it is time that we started treating our teenagers with some respect. Do people not remember what it was like being a teenager??? I admit that the majority of teenagers who have sex and end up ...

Sex is addictive for some people as is this site. Teenagers have sex either because they enjoy it or because other teenagers are doing it so their mate doesn’t feel left out. In any case it is the women or girls I suppose who live with consequences of having a child and looking after it. See there is no point in having a baby ...

i dont hold the opinion that teenage pregnancies are a problem. but rather , that the way society looks upon it is. people always see it as this big massive disgrace. as if though a childs conception is a disgrace. as if though it makes a difference "when" one conceives a child. who`s decision was it that women shouldnt be allowed to ...

Last year the story of the Derby “baby factory” was making headlines, when it was revealed that three teenage sisters had all become pregnant and given birth while still living at home. Two of the daughters were well under the age of consent, and had become mothers at the ages of 13 and 14. The oldest sister was 18 years old with a six month old ...

I guess when this topic talks about teenage pregnancy it refers to those under the age of 16 after all having a baby at nineteen is hardly earth shattering news or that unusual. I read in my local paper yesterday that the local health authority are very worried that there will be an increase in teenage pregnancy during the World Cup as ...

Teenage pregnancies are is a tough discussion to talk about as this ranges from the ages of 13 - 19. I think sometimes there is a stigma on teenage pregnancies. Maybe people think they are brought up on Council Estates by parents who don't keep an eye on them etc etc. But this certainly isn't the case. Me and my brother and sisters were ...

I am not a teenage parent myself although my best friend is. She had her little girl Tahjai when she was just 16. However, she had always behaved older than everyone else and she also looked older. My friend was usually in trouble at school although she was not one of these stupid ones, she was actually and still is very ...

The U.K may well have the highest stats in Western Europe but worldwide I wonder if it is in fact not Africa. In Sub-Saharan Africa which South Africa is a part of due to our political past teenage pregnancies are high as a result of “lack of education”. Among the black sector of our population, young black girls as tradition goes are ...

Teenage pregnancy? Now I think that teenage pregnancy isn’t right and that young people don’t think about what they are doing and just think it’s a bit of fun. I knew one girl who was pregnant with a boys baby and I asked her about it and all she said was that she didn’t know what she was doing influenced by the boy and pier ...

I have just read a brilliant review on underage pregnancy. I too had this experience, but mine was not due to rape. My condolences to that lady. I was actually in care, being sexually, and physically abused. I must say at this point that I did not get pregnant by the care staff. I had been in care for a very long time, and had been ...

UK is no different to many other countries with teenage pregnancy problems. The cost in financial terms is soaring, the cost in emotional terms is unmeasurable. I feel that young people - male and female - can make one mistake and the government should pay but when they use having babies as a 'career' is just not ...

I am a teenager, a typical 15 year old boy! I go to school, respect the rules and other people. All around me I see relationships, either growing stronger, or falling apart. On the soaps, for example Coronation Street, teenage pregnancy is extremely misunderstood. I come to this: At my school, we are fully aware of sex, and what it can ...
