Teen Pregnancy Now In Vogue


Teen Pregnancy Now In Vogue

To the great consternation of parents, educators and government officials, efforts to curb teenage pregnancy have failed miserably. There is a growing attitude among young girls that having a baby is fashionable and desirable and the rising rate of pregnancy among teens shows that this is more than a mere mindset.

Peer pressure and entertainment that glamorizes sex have been identified as key factors in this growing trend, showing that the media has a much greater effect on teens than education programs can ever hope to achieve.

A pregnant 14-year-old has told how having a baby is now regarded as "fashionable" among schoolgirls. Family campaigners said her comments showed how the Government's sex education policy had left teens with the "ridiculous but extremely worrying" misconception that having a child was no different to getting a new handbag. The Office for National Statistics revealed that the number of pregnancies among under-18s in 2005 was 39,683, up from the 35,400 recorded a decade ago. The bleak figures mean the Government is less than a quarter of the way to meeting its promise to halve pregnancy rates among under-18s in England by 2010. (dailymail)

Shocking............

By: Anni on Feb 25, 07 | 108 Trends | 57 Comments

no, not shocking. this is precisely why there are (used to be) high schools for pregnant teens. so that the influence is removed from the primary school and that it doesn't become a trend. i cringe when i read about people fighting the separation of pregnant teens into high schools that can prepare them for the reality, while preserving the other school's focus on education.
