What you think about this problem ? I don't know in your Country but where I live it happens ever, girls with 14, 15 and 16 years, pregnant. To family is a shock, the boyfriend don't want the kid, is terrible and sometimes it ends in death. And in your country ? What happens ?

my 17year old brother has got his girlfriend of four months pregnant. she is 22 years old and should have known better. Yet some 14 15 and 16year olds are not always aware of precautions. The sad thing is that buying protection from chemists seems to be embarrassing for many people. Hence some of them would rather risk it. I think that they should start to give out free protection packs at school so that if they are tempted and are slightly embarrased to buy them then they can just use the ones that they have.

I think it is a shame that such young girls end up getting pregnant, because they were not taught about birth control, and how to use it. I know they are supposed to say no, but that is not working, so My belief is at least prepare them , and with that knowledge they will not be babies having babies, As for the boys or men involved I think a harsher look should be held with them, that if they are going to make babies then they have to support and look after the child until the child is 21. They may think twice before they say come on please nothing is going to happen.I believe that this is happening all over the world. I bet you will hear that this didn't happen when your parents were small. that is not so It was just covered up, and today it is all in the open.
