As a young ten-year-old girl gives birth in Spain, there has been much shock and awe amongst parents and children.
Presented here are a number of influential PSAs that have made a definite positive impact on the issues of sex, drugs and poverty. Hopefully, the important messages they are trying to convey will be fully understood, ensuring that situations like those regarding this young mom are avoided.
