Teenage pregnancies?

UK has the highest number of teenage pregnancies. What can we do about it? People will start pointing the finger at somebody as someone needs to be accountable, right? Not really. What is important is that we need to know what is the problem over here and start solving the problem. Merely pointing the finger at someone will not solve the problem.


As I have said, I think the society needs to change. Gone were the times where by a family will sit down and have a proper meal at home. Nowdays we go out and eat. Well, that is not a bad idea because we still have a family meal. Sometimes it is impossible for the family to sit down and eat together due to commitments. That is where the problem start.


Secondly, there is no direct communications between the parents and the children, complications, peer pressure, society pressure and to excel in school do have a tremendous effect on a child or a person. What is important is that the child should be able to talk to his or her parents whenever there is a chance and the parents should pay attention to it. Otherwise the child will seek answers elsewhere. That is why some of them would prefer to hang out because their voices are being heard. No one listen to them except for their friends. Well, parents both are busy and where would they call for help? Friends.


I think to solve most of the problem, I think it should start from home. Lets make it a point to take care of our children. Talk to them and understand them but not to spoilt them. That would be good, don't you think so? I am sure that the minister will agree with me.

We cannot Prevent people from having sex but we can educate them on Protective Sex. This is important. Sex is only human nature, Pecautions must be taken. It's Simple.

Yes, that is why the government is trying to do its best. You do hear on the radio about protective sex. That is one of the ways where the government is trying to educate people. I wonder who would listen to that message.
