Margaret...Your comment on girls having so many opportunities. Yes they have so many more opportunities in this day and age than ever before, yet so many more girls seem to devalue themselves these days, and the situation seems to be getting progressively worse.

Being "deterred" from getting pregnant shouldn't be the answer Lilly, although i can see where you are coming from.

Unless we can catch the sections of society who seem to grow up with no morals or values at an early age, I don't see the situation changing. Throwing contraceptive advice at them in their teens seems like a last resort. They should be able to grow up knowing what life has to offer, and make choices. But the sad thing is, most of these situations are ongoing and self perpetuating...parents who have grown up with the same lack of aspirations, education, morals, motivation, etc.

The majority of people in society grow up with values and morals, we really need to intervene where we know that isn't going to be the case
