About the Project
- Don't Hush "DISCUSS"
- This project has just started to train teen parents in Newham to develop their own on line resources and will enable the group to make contacts, provide information for teenage parents in London and even globally. The project is training teen parents to write and publish their stories/diaries/experiences and be journalists with their own blog pages which they can update and add to when ever and where ever they want. If you would like to join the project contact Juliette Mills, office@ech.org.uk, 020 7538 4545/3388 or Angie Jasper at Choice 136 on 0207 511 4314 or just blog us. Workshops take place every Tuesday afternoon at NEWTEC, 22 Deanery Road, Stratford, E15-4LP From: 3pm Р5pm Free Cr̬che provided by Early Start

i attend many of the young parents/teen parents groups in newham and i have done for just over two years now.i first started to attend these groups when i was pregnant. these groups offer help and support. and arrange groups lke
.healthy eating
.contracepton
with one paticular group young parents meet up and get to know one another and share experances.
although there are many facilities for young parents i would like to see more oppertunites given to us.
by this i mean things that we can not afford or fund ourselfs i.e family holidays, day trips prehaps help with funding our driving lessons.
there seems to be many organistions in newham willing to help young parents but many of these organisatons are too simular to one another
if there is any organisations that can help fund a short family break for a small group of young parents and there children please let us know.
being a teenage parent in the public eye.
when i have been out and about i have often heard people commenting on the fact that i look too young to be a mum. this dosn't paticualy bother me i just say to my self "narrow minded people" and when people are quick to judge me i think that says a hell of a lot more about them.
there was this one time when i was on a bus. my baby was about 7 months old and he was crying. he was due a feed so there i was cooling his bottle and a lady sittng close by said "you cant give a baby a bottle every time it crys." I replied with "yes madam you are right my baby is in a very procist routine and as i am on a bus im a little lategiving him his feed" in a respectful tone. the shock on the womens face was a picture.
Leigh on the front page there is a link to cheap holidays. Have a look and see what you think
