I still believe that it could work and be a good option,maybe it should be tried on a trial basis and see how it goes.
We will never know unless we give it a go.

If anyone honestly thought it was going to be a good solution it would have been the first method used in the first place. I don't think we shoul try it as a last resort.
If I thought it was a problem in every single case I woul suggest it, but as many young girls make excellent mums I would never suggest it. The problem is probably in education. How many girls realise what a real responsibility it is being a parent, particularly a single parent? Probably not many.
I've never been taught at school what it would be like to have a baby young, and I don't think that is the reason for other girls getting pregnant. The biggest reason in my opinion is that schools aren't focusing enough on the individual goals and aspirations of their students. If a student starts GCSE with no idea of what they can do afterwards or of what qualifications they need, they don't do as well as they could a lot of the time. Teachers aren't sparking passion in their students and that is the problem, at least in my own experiences. I didn't even find out about my opportunities to go to uni til I got to the end of my first year at college. I think that is a failure on my high schools part right there. Perhaps if I had been guided better I might have understood the value of A levels to me as an individual.
If people have no idea of what they can do in the future and what affect getting pregnant early could have on all that, then what reason do they have to be more careful?
