Teen Mum High: BBC 2 NOW!

[Milliways]

Monday 12th May, BBC 2, 9pm: Teen Mum High. Life in a pupil referral unit for school-age girls who are either pregnant or young mothers, showing the work of both staff and students. Teachers, specialist midwives and health workers offer tuition in subjects ranging from English, maths and cookery to birth plans, bottle-feeding and baby baths

What a great school it seems so far!

That baby is gorgeous!

Why can't ALL kids get that level of sex-education??
That 13 year old looks MUCH older!

BUMP - this is worth watching!

Especially, make your Teens watch it!

I find it so hard to believe theese girls didnt know about sex and conception, they dont look stupid and who doesnt know your going to get pregnant havinf unprotected sex!?

there was a girl in my school who carried on going to our upper school right up until the day she gave birth then did the work at home til she could come back 1 month later to sit for sats. Whats the point of having a school like this?

3 girls in DD's year (Yr 12) have had babies

year 12? isnt that ages 16/17 though?

Yes, but bad enough.

I can't imagine how a child of 13/14 is supposed to be a mum

i had mine at 16 but even i cringe when i see 13/14 year olds with children or pregnant. I feel like shouting at them and telling them about my life!

The point is them continuing with education - they can't pay for childcare.

Better than vodka? Am i the only one that is seeing a pattern with the mums and the daughters on this programme?

What was she saying was better than vodka? I couldn't work it out!

Are they actually telling teenagers your body was made for this?

that teenager very sensibly said yeah but not at this age age that midwife basically disagreed and said yes it is...

Will they be allowed home births?

The baby's head is magic!!

How sad, some of the questions they are asking. They are soo young.

Lol the mum had the cofee in her bag and said "well its better than vodka isnt it"

I agree that the babies shouldn't be "ashamed" but do you think that if it were more "Shameful" for the Mums, they would be more careful?

I think so yeah most young mums i see nowdays feel like the baby is an acssesory or a ticket into an exclusive group its just wrong. The ones that do it on purpose i have no idea whats going through there mind.

She seemed very sensible and the first one ive heard mention breastfeeding!

My friends DD wants to leave home, and has threatened to get pregnant just so she will get a flat!

I hope she's watching.

Shes a silly little girl then becasue when i was pregnant at a young age i was homeless for nearly a year i never expected to nor got a place of my own and it was only a year and a half ago i got my own place.

Omg... Im not going to say a word about chavs otherwise ill get lynched by the PC Mn crew lol

How has she kept that Belly piercing in??

coz shes tiny!
Look how small she is for someone about to give birth anyday i was as big as a house!
