Let's look at our society and the presures taht we are putting on these kids with all the different forms of sex media out there right now. So instead of blaming the teens let's blame our society for the way that we are raising out children to think and act.

I also dimly recall that hormones and booze tended to have rather more of an influence than economic factors, media reporting or political campaigns. Indeed, in those days teenagers didn't really read the papers or watch news on TV.

I know who who did. and in fact they are fine mothers - but it was simply the ONLY way they could get themselves housed. Horse pooh. You people need to get out more, and you could start doing that by pulling your heads out of your bums, instead of pontificating and pretending you own the moral high ground. Your self-righteousness stinks. Bollocks. I know who who did. and in fact they are fine mothers – but it was simply the ONLY way they could get themselves housed.

Try this. Most teenage pregnancies occur amongst the terminally dumb. The fathers clear off and the young mothers know they can get housing and benefits for a long time. A triumph for the Welfare State. Look at the stats and distribution. Long live the comprehensive education OK. Try this. Most teenage pregnancies occur amongst the terminally dumb.
