Teenage Pregancy

I was a teenage mum (I say was because I am now 24!). It wasn't something I had planned to happen but it did. I was 15 years old, a week after my 15th to be precise I caught. I was still in school and loving being in school. I wasn't your stereotypical teenage chav mum, I was in all high sets in school, my estimated GCSE results were B and above. Okay so now and again I did go bunking and yes a group of us used to hang out in the park at nights but I took my school seriously and my aim was too stay in school for sixth form and then move onto Uni! I had boyfriends in the past and although I had done 'it' with them I had never fallen pregnant and ...  Read the complete review

- Teenage Pregnancy - I am a teenage mother (18 years old) I fell pregnant whilst I was still 17. I have been with my partner over 2 years and it was a shock when we found out that I was pregnant (took a while to sink in!) I had always wanted to be a hairdresser so was working in a top high street hairdressers at the time and was completing my NVQ. I decided that the long hours I was working weren't going to work around a baby if I was going to be a mother who would care for my own child as much as I can, so left the job and am currently carrying on finishing off my Level 2 hairdressing at college and plan to get a job as soon as becomes possible to work around our ...  Read the complete review

I have decided to share my very personal story surrounding teen pregnancy because although every story is unique in some way, I'm not sure I will ever find anyone who can relate to every aspect of my experience. I will begin by saying I am now 25, so a lot of the events in this story took place a few years ago now, starting from when I was just 15. I was certainly not your stereotypical chavish teenager who put it about a lot, ended up getting pregnant in order to claim benefits and never do a days work, as you often see portrayed in the media. I don't think anybody that knew me would have predicted this would happen to me. I was more of a hippieish tomboy. I ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion, the whole topic of teenage pregancy is a sensitive one, and one that not many people want to talk about. But it has gotten to the point where something needs to be done. I mean if you look in the papers recently you will have read about the 13 year old dad. How can a child be a parent, as after all, that is what he is a dad. In general, I think that is you are going to get pregnant under the age of 16, then you need to pay the consequences, after all I dont believe in abortions, as I believe that it is wrong and the easy way out. Not many parents actually sit down with their children and have a convseration on this subject, which I think is ...  Read the complete review
