Did anyone watch Britains youngest mums and dads?
why do you think so many young girls are having babys?, i think its the new status symbol (the new must have) in my day it was the lastest game boy or mountain bike, now they all want a baby like its a toy to be played with!!! whats your opinion?
Answers:
It just shows how low the UK has sunk into moral decay.
This is what happens when your government and culture turns its back on God. If children are not tied to marriage then why not have them at 15 or 13 or 11 years old?

I am sure other people watched it too.
I want a brahhhhn one!
Chris wants a braaaan one like all the ovver gals on the estate!
I caught bits of it- was there any dads on it? Wasnt it all just teenage mums?
Yes...there is a question about it further down the list where lots of people have answered
Most of these girls want to live of benefits and get a council flat. I feel sorry for the kids. The really cute triplet girls deserve better than a teenage mother as do the twin boys.
yes i watched most of it last night , i found that the 13 year old girl was totally not interested in her baby , which is sad.But some were sensibly and the 17 year old , with the triplets was sensible and i thought she was a good mum .
yes some think its cool to have a baby at 14 but other might do it as a cry for attention or because they haven't been properly educated on sex and contraception. I don't think young mums should be judged for their age because you never know they could turn out to just as good a mum if not better than any other mother. However they do put their education and chances of making themselves and their children a good life in jeopardy if they have a child to care for 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
I was appalled, especially the 14 year old Farmer's daughter. I blame the parents!
Yes.. they were all vile and those poor children need removing from their custody. I would rather grow up in a home than with those muppets.
Babies having babies.. vicious circle.. that only sterilisation will break.
Couldn't agree more, although I think it's also been for financial benefits and/or council houses etc in the past or to look cool for their friends or something/someone to love or they perceive will love them when they are missing it in their life. Reasons are probably complex but what frustrates me is why do you never hear of of the father's being prosecuted in these cases? These girls are under age!
Another issue of course is a lack of sex education or too much social/peer pressure at school and lack of parental care or discipline at home.
They're the only things I can think of anyway.
It scares me because I have an eight year old who thinks she's a teenager. I've always taught her how hard it is to be a parent even if you have family support and I tell her tales of the things I got up to as a teenager and I hope she can see that she needs to do teenager things, clubs, gigs that sort of thing first. I didn't have her until I was 31 and I did everything I wanted and went everywhere I wanted to before I was ready to settle down, she says she doesn't want any but we'll see in a few years! Charlotte last night did my head in! Spoilt little c**! Didn't deserve her baby.
No, but I expect I'll have to watch it in school.
Yeah i watched it!I couldnt believe some of them!1 imparticular i think her name was michelle!The 14 year old!She made me so angry,i really think the poor baby should have been taken away fom her!
At that age they have probably only just stopped playing with dolls and then decide they think they can handle the real thing even though they are barley out of nappies them selves!
I dont think i even knew what sex was at that age! x
Yes - quite sad really that they ruin their lives at such an early age. Children are a blessing at the right time with the right guy.
We should have more programmes on contraception - don't you agree?
i saw it they were all so naive and stupid.
'you cant get pregnant 1st time'
you cant always blame the schools, some of it is common sense.
the only pair that were a nice couple was the bloke with 5(i think) kids. good luck to him.
all the others (especially that pikey with earrings bigger then her baby) should give them to care so a decent person can bring them up.
i did watch it and my son of 13 watched it with me. i think these girls think its easy to stay home and look after these babies than go to school. but after watching the programme i hope they see how tough it is, my son was really shocked to see how having sex just once got these girls into this situation. i think they also do it in hope of finding someone to love them and who they can love too. i found it very sad and what a waste of alot of young girls lives and those of there babies too. i had my son at 19 and i found that so hard so being 13 must be well... god tough !!
My 14 year old says that the reason why girls are falling pregnant is because of social pressure. They have no reason to say "no" to their boyfriends, want tokeep their guys and so are pressured into having sex. They have adequate sex education in school - certainly she's able to tell me things - but they're kids, with a kid's mentality. They're immature and don't have the life experience to make good judgements. They want to be seen as grownup and do all the adult things - getting drunk, drugs, sex, violence - that they see the adults around them doing.
I tell my kids the most important sex education they really need to know - the reason why we humans have sex is to have babies. To have sex but not fall pregnant is to fight nature and grown women get it wrong all the time. Therefore wait until you're old enough and mature enough to look after a baby properly (what kid really wants to grow up in a council flat?) before you start having sex. I can't guarantee they'll listen but I hope so . Our society is rotten to the core.
No, didnt watch it, watched Top Gun instead.
But to be honest when I was 16-18 I always wanted a baby but the thing is, I made myself wait till I was the right age before I had one. I didnt want to ruin my child years or even the babies life by bringing it up in a world where I couldnt support it financially.
I am now at an age where I am able to bring up my child and she is 16 month and I am able to support her. I have a husband (her dad) and we are all able to do things together as a family and enjoy ourselves at the same time.
To all those teenagers out there thinking that they are old enough to take care ove something so precious as a baby, think long and hard about what you will be giving up and then what you will have to do in order to support your child. Its not all fun and games and they prevent you from going out when you want to go out.
Twenties are the better and safer years in your life to bring up a child. My friend had a baby at 16 but she has been able to do things and acheive things in her life. I might of worked for her but it doesnt always work for everyone.
i was very worried & wondering wether this this country has a proper future. what has gone wrong ? babies are human beings & not toys no wonder we have so many disrespectul kids over who will grow up to be disrespectul adults i think its about time society frowned upon teenage pregnancies kids should be kids & not being parents
adults too have to play a part by setting good examples for these kids
I had my oldest child at 14 and was nothing like the mums on that show last night i looked after my son by myself i went to work as soon as i could he attends school every day his attendance rate is 98% i didn't set out to get pregnant at that age i was just unwise to older people and there lies i would not say it was a good thing to do and i get angry when i hear kids saying they want a baby it was hard work and i lost out on a lot of my childhood but he is now a healthy, happy and polite 11 year old and would do it all again because he means much more than hanging out with mates outside the local shops i also get angry with programs like that because they have picked the worst they could find for better viewing and i wish people could see that not all young mums are the same i don't see myself as being anything like the girls from last night
I avoided watching it as i knew i would be disgusted! There is no excuse for being a teenage mum or dad! sickening!
The solutions are easy
1)Mandatory pill injections
2)Prosecution of minors especially for underage sex.
3)If a "father" is unable to provide maintenance, then the parents are liable.
This will soon chnage peoples ideas about condoms, and crap like it doesn't feel natural. I always used condoms.
If these kids think they are adult then they should take responsibility for their actions.
For gawds sake at that age your i think your most fertile, so I dont know who spreads this first time you dont get pregnant rubbish.
I couldn't believe the parents seem to absolve themselves completly and blamed society!! We are society.
When I was young it was "just say no" to drugs and cigs, kids today need the same lessons. they should make all kids wtach this. Also make boys watch the baby actually coming out, that'll help keep those hormone raging boners in check.
I just don't get it!
I'm only 24,
When I was 12 I was a child and acted like one! I could never possibly have imagined having sex! I remember first fancying boys at about 14, but I would never have done anything but kiss them!
I'm so glad I can look back on my childhood and cherish the memories I have of being a kid!
I think parents are mostly to blame. It shouldn't be up to schools to educate children.
i watched in horror, i cant believe there own parents attitude towards the young girls, my mum and dad would have killed me. i think nowadays it is the must have, they see people walking about with prams and think i could do that then they realise is more than taking them out 4 a walk every now and again. it really puts us mums to shame. i know that when my girls are older il be letting them watch something like that b/c it should be enough to put them off for life and Charlotte was a typical teenage well should i say child she was never mature enough to become a mum
I watched it and was totally horrifies by the 13 yr old who just didn't want to know her baby, Sophie I think the poor babes name was.
How the hell she was expected to look after the child at that age was beyond me..she wasn't even old enough, legally to babysit!
I don't think at their age their bodies can take these changes nor are they emotionally able.....
I think we are not doing enough to educate these girls about what their lives will be like once they have their babies.
I would be devastated if my daughter came in pregnant at a very young age....I was 24 when Ihad mine and I found it very hard to cope!
I watched it and was disgusted. Poor little Sophie has no hope of growing up in a loving, well balanced household. She is going to grow in to another delinquent teenager just like her mother. She should be taken off Charlotte and given to a family who are desperate for a baby and will love her unconditionally. Charlotte is the classic bad example of a teenage mother, I know not all are as bad as her but I think she is the majority.
I think parents play a big part in this, I have a 5 year old daughter and I will do my best to make sure she is aware of everything when she is older at least then I will know I tried my best with her.
I think its every responsible parents nightmare. Good parenting can only go so far and you have to hope that you have done enough to make your children aware of how to make the right decisions. My daughter is 11 and she is starting to make new friends since starting high school. She is a really good girl although she has wicked pms ( yes , she started her periods at 10) but I don't know what sort of peer pressure she will be under as she gets older. I can give the facts and be available to talk and just hope that she gets through the next few years without too many problems. I have told her that she can't have sex until she's 30 and has a degree! I don't think she actually believes me though.
Yes i seen it and i made my 2 eldest daughters watch it too ! I dont know what planet that Charlotte was on though she needed a good slap .
yea i watched it
I am 16 and I watched it with my 14 year old sister. Charlotte absolutely horrified me.she resented and didn't care about that poor baby, it was so emotionally neglected. It should have been taken into care, for Charlotte's benefit as well as the baby's. She didn't know she was pregnant, so never had the option of termination, and clearly her parents wanted her to keep it even though she didn't. She should have had it adopted and left to be a kid.
I thought some of them were really good parents but if you have a baby at that age you can never hope to be a useful contributor to society unless you have a hell of a lot of support which most teenage mums don't. I think every teenager who gets pregnant should be made to go on that course run by the maternity nanny for at least a few weeks, preferably before the baby is born. Most of the girls clearly didn't have the foggiest idea of how to look after a baby.
UK people:How do you get to give birth in a maternity unit.?
who thinks am a real nice bloke?
If you are pregnant with twins, can you feel movements earlier?
