Teenage Pregnancy
 

The UK has the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in western Europe...and rising...Why? and How should we tackle the problem? (Im thinking about it, will get back to yer)...I think it starts with lack of education and openess in this country

To force people into using contraception or into classes. I'm afraid the only way to tackle things is to force people into it, That is why the government are so stupid to realise that.

For a start TV campaign's DO NOT work. The Change 4 Life campaign was more like Madonna's Into The Groove backdrop then a campaign.

I suppose people visiting your homes one you have found out you were pregnant (girls) with 'long talks' about the risks involved particularly to mothers expecting babies which they do not want (Obviously if they want a child then this is not needed).

Also more contraception for men. The ONLY contraception for a man is a condom. We need more for them too (ie the pill to stop sperm being produce for a set time like a woman has a pill as well)

Bang on right. I never liked Gordon Brown but I did like Tony Blair though.

There is a male pill already, but the question remains, would i trust a man enough if he said he was taking the 'male pill'. Everyone needs to be responsible for their own sexual health, and condoms, though not 100% effective, protect against disease and pregnancy. I am afraid more education with regard to contracetpives etc., needs to be taught and this whole' teaching children too much' needs to stop!

I have told my 14 year old about the risks of unprotected sex, including the discovery that early sexual activity and std can cause cervical cancer in women/girls. I think he may now be too traumatised to touch a girl, but he will get over that!

More education, more education etc etc etc!

Even though I'm against abortion I think by law anyone who falls pregnant under the age of 16 should have their baby aborted. Plus use shock tactics to get people to understand

I read in a newspaper that making the pill for commercial use for men was dropped as women wouldnt trust the men to take it. Sexism or what? What is men dont trust a woman? They can have the pill all the time.

Or.. they should keep their trousers on

But the point is you SHOULDN'T just take someones word for it, male or female, especially if it is a new relationship. Therefore you must make sure that you have protection yourself. Everyone should use protection of some sort, especially girls as they are the ones left 'holding the baby', so to speak!

Surly they can offer more contraception on offer to men. Maybe that is why many men do not use it. Men may not want to use a condom and would want a injection or use a pill.

Harry, thats what you should do when you leave school. Invent a 100% effective male contraceptive that works for a long time so that men dont forget to take it!

You would make an obsolute fortune! :thumbs:

Maybe they should but I dont think all people would have sex for babies though..

Maybe I should. Or the rottern government get their act together.

In twenty years time I will be reading the Irish times and it will say that a young British scieneist invented a marvellous new concraceptive for men, and that some big company bought thee formua off him for billions and he married madonna's daughter Lourdes in a sta studded ceremony in Beverly Hills! and I will say he never even invited me! :hugesmile:

Actually there is a pill for men :laugh2: It has side effects apparently.

Do men get symphony , no. That is why contraception for men is sexist.

Your probably right. I know I wouldnt take it!

Thats probably why comdoms are the best option for men. And its the only method that gives some protection against std's, if used properly!

Yeah might as well use the condom until you are ready to have a baby with your partner.
I think the condoms and the pill should be more accessible though and FREE to everyone.

I thought contracption was free through your doctor though, in England? Here is a nightmare, €60 to see the doctor then whatever the prescription costs, I remembe having to pay €55 for some antibiotics once. Rip Off Ireland or what!
