  1. How about the figures for teens UNDER 18 instead of including young adults in the figures as though they are doing something wrong? How many of the young adults aren’t supported by the dads? How many of the under 18yo teenagers ARE supported by the dads?

    Actual facts not hype – ‘let’s leave out important information to make the situation look as bad as possible’ and demonising young parents.

    This is poor reporting with no details on anything. For all we know there could have been 24 births to ADULT teens and 1 to a 15yo. Were any of these births as a result of an assault?

    Try again. F for effort, F for substance, A+ for hype.

  2. Why doesn’t this surprise me and why wont these young teens use contraception?
