WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON
SINGLE PARENTING?.

Don't Hush "DISCUSS" said...

RESPONSE

I THINK IT IS APPOLING THAT YOUNG GIRLS HAVE BABIES TO GET COUNCIL FLAT. I THINK THAT THEY MUST NOT HAVE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH PROPLEY.

I was 28 when i had my son and i still felt i was too young, there is no manuel, you just have to get on with it. I had no idear what to do with him taking him out the first time was scary, giving him a bath i just though i drop him and drown him but i dident. What ever age you are its a big thing but a good thing i think you can be a good mum at 16 or 46

Don't Hush "DISCUSS" said...

i agree

Just wanted to know as part of this project if any of you use social network sites such as Myspace or Facebook? Interested as there is a lot of media coverage but wanted to know if people really do use them or if they are any use.

i am sinead i am not a mum but my sister was just 16 when she had a baby.
i think if you are mature then it is ok to have a baby over the age of 16. if the persoin is under 16 i dont think they should have a baby because they are not grown up enough and are too into them selfs at that age.

Hello,

I work for a television company called Mentorn Media. We’re making a series about underage teenage pregnancy and I’m really keen to hear your story.

The tv programmes will follow both mum’s-to-be through pregnancy and birth, as well as those who have recently given birth. It's not about making judgments – it’s about telling the real stories of teenagers and hearing about your experiences in your words.

I's really like to hear from you as we’re looking for a mix of teenage mums-to-be from a variety of different backgrounds to feature in the series.

If you're 16 years old or younger, and this sounds interesting then please drop me a line on here or email me on asimons@mentorn.tv or call 0207 258 6711.

Thanks,

Andrew
