Teenage Pregnancy Reviews

Teenage Pregnancy... Worst Rates in UK To start off my rant, this is pretty shocking. But, I do not completely disagree. In May 2008, my sister fell pregnant at 15. My mum and dad are divorced and of course we gave her as much help as she could. She decided to go ahead and have the baby which was her own choice. ...  Read the complete review

Teenage Pregnancy Britain has the worst rate of teen pregnancy in western Europe.

I think that a lot of people have strong feelings about teenage mothers. There are those who ...  Read the complete review

Teenage pregnancies is something which I have strong views about. I hate when teenagers get judged when they are pregnant, especially when the people judging them don't know them. I was a teenage mum. I was 16 when I became pregnant and 17 when I had my son. I will admit that it was hard. No one tells you about how hard it is to ...  Read the complete review

The UK has amongst the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in the world, and certainly in Europe. I will say from the onset, that a fair percentage, are pure accidents, a percentage are indeed from a lack of education, a percentage would naturally happen anyway, and anywhere in the world. Also a fair percentage of parents, ...  Read the complete review

Teenage pregnancy is such a big deal in Britain at the moment and i live in Telford the teenage pregnancy capital of Europe (honestly) but im afraid to say noone can judge this 'epedemic' of teenage parents because each situation is unique. most people believe that the schools are to blame and sex education is terrible in schools, i ...  Read the complete review

My views here are mainly drawn from the experience of having a sister who had a teenage pregnancy. My sister, Lucy, was just thirteen when she fell pregnant and my Mum was not made aware for the early months of the pregnancy. Once Mum found out my sister was taken to the doctor and given a talk about the options available to her and ...  Read the complete review

Teenage pregnancy is a huge problem in the UK today and I think there are numerous reasons for this occuring. Knowledge of Lack of it: I am going on my own experience here, when I was in High School, we were "not allowed" to be taught sex education as the school thought it sent out the wrong message and thought ...  Read the complete review

Teenagers who become pregnant need our help not our criticism. I firmly believe this but you have to look at it from all sides which is what I will try to do in this article, but make no mistake these young people have taken on the responsibility which overwhelms many of us in our thirties, and many do so with my utmost admiration and ...  Read the complete review

I am not a parent nor have I ever been pregnant. I have nothing but respect for teenage mothers who do their best to provide for their children and lead rich and fulfilling lives. Having had many friends who were teenage mothers, these are my views of some of the problems they have had to face. SOCIAL LIFE: There seems to be a lot ...  Read the complete review

I'm mid twenties, married, working and have 2 kids (age 2 and under) - my gosh it's hard work- But I love it and wouldn't change it for a minute. Could I have had kids 10 years earlier - most definitely not. In my opinion I was far too immature and hadn't experienced the big wide world. I was still a kid myself. However, some teenagers probably ...  Read the complete review

I am writing about teenage pregnancy from a personal viewpoint as i was a teen mum myself and would love to share my story just to prove that all teen mums shouldnt be tarred with the same brush. I think people just assume all teenage mums are from a rough council estate background, single mothers, who just get pregnant so they can get a house and ...  Read the complete review

So I am going to get on my soap box a bit. I apologise now if I offend anyone - this is general, and based on my personal experiences my opinion. I have a half sister who I have got back in touch with after quite a few years of us being apart - she is 21 in April. She has 2 children under 2 years old. Now to me she is a good ...  Read the complete review

I think a lot of the teenage pregnancy nowadays is down to the benefits system. These young girls don't want to leave school and go to WORK (heaven forbid), so the solution is - get pregnant and then you get GIVEN somewhere to live with the rent paid for you, and money handouts from all directions! It's the hardworking citizens of this country ...  Read the complete review

A few weeks ago I was in Tesco's, and a young girl, around 15 or 16 was stood flicking through some magazines with her friend. Both had on slouchy juicy trousers, ugg boots and little vest tops, plenty of jewellery and lots of eye make up. Peeking out from under both their vests was a baby bump, one about 5 months and the other looked ready to ...  Read the complete review

Teen pregnancy rates have recently been on the rise across the UK despite measures by the government medical professionals and community interest groups to lower these levels.

There is nothing anyone can do to reduce the high numbers of teenage pregnancy, i doubt teenagers having more, improved sex education lessons would do anything. By the time i hit my teens i knew all about sex, about the pill, condoms and sti's. I learnt this through talking to my friends not from any sex education. When i became sexually active i ...  Read the complete review

The problem we face nowadays, is that teenagers who are pregnant get judged for their situation. I know, being pregnant at a young age is not an ideal situation, however, people make mistakes, and they need support for these problems. Saying that, you do get teenagers who do want children. Some strange phase which they go through. However, when ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
