Anonymous - 8th Sep 2009 19:50:38 tiffany and laura, its a fake. Plus your water can break at any time unexpectadly so that situation could have very well happened. Although if she was 9 months pregnant then she would'nt be at school :P

tiffany - 19th Aug 2009 18:07:42 if the girl was reli in labour in the school yard wouldnt there be a teacher there but there aint isit

laura - 12th Aug 2009 00:29:59 why would that happen in a school yard anyway coz i think yo would tell a teacher if your water broke, not lay on the ground screaming??

Hayley - 25th Jul 2009 10:41:48 I'm with my boyfriend Josh and I don't know if I'm pregnant! Help! Hayley Paramore

Daryl - 24th Jul 2009 10:16:13 Was That Video Of The Girl Giving Birth In The School Real Or Fake ?

amy - 24th Jul 2009 02:13:11 im a bit disappointed with this website. it gives advice, but only cold hard facts. the videos are okay, nothing special though. and the the comments should be censored.

shimshim - 23rd Jul 2009 18:08:19 my friend laura is just about to have another baby, she wants to keep it but she cant look after them all and her cat!

Lilly - 22nd Jul 2009 21:37:06 I found out I'm pregnant a week ago. But earlier in the year I was pregnant and my boyfriend booked me in for an unexpected termination. I really want to keep this one and he says if I get pregnant again he will book me in for another termination. HELP!!!

Alice - 22nd Jul 2009 21:22:34 to me it dont matter how old you are,just lose it when your ready. as long as you are 100% sure and safe:)im 14,& i lost it to my bf, who ive been with for about 2. its all about the relationship.

sarah - 22nd Jul 2009 19:50:38 omg my cuisen gave birth last week ! she`s 12 her mum took her to social services! aww by by cuisen .. well i gess its her fault

Anna - 22nd Jul 2009 19:36:25 i really dont see why you did that. do you want people to think pregnancy and childbirth is all a horror show. You cant stop people from doing what they want and teaching them about 'safe sex' doesn't help; it encourages. Why not talk about bein faithful?

Le0n - 22nd Jul 2009 16:15:55 The video you recorded outside hamilton community college, why hasnt that been uploaded? im in the background of that :)

Aimee-Joy - 22nd Jul 2009 15:31:10 I'm worried my 12 year old sister is pregnant. Shes really depressed. I don't want her to make the mistake I made. I was 14 and now 18. The boy I loved is now on drugs. The boy she loves is loyal. Please help her!!! HELP!!!

Cassie - 22nd Jul 2009 15:18:38 I'm 15 and lost my virginity last week. I had a shower after sex. I don't know if my boyfriend matt has a condom. Do I still get pregnant after a shower if the male person has a condom?

Libby- same one - 22nd Jul 2009 15:16:59 I threw up afterwards. Will it work? I've looked at the myths but is it true?

Brittany - 22nd Jul 2009 15:15:48 I hate the video you put on the website of that girl giving birth in school. The same happened to me... everybody crowding round it really scared me and no-one got a teacher. I'm 16 now and waiting for my newly born 7 1/2 months Please help me get over it

lizzy - 22nd Jul 2009 14:59:56 i am 17 & found out i was pregnant last friday & am completely stuck on wether to keep it as im not with the babys dad & he doesnt want anythink to do with it, aby advice? x

Libby - 22nd Jul 2009 14:51:18 I'm afraid to tell my mum but I think I'm pregnant. I'm 15! I took the morning after pill. I've got a pregnancy test with me but I don't really know. I'll message in and tell you whats happened! :(

- 29th Jun 2009 09:44:35 your vid on chilbirth depicts it like a scene from a horror movie. this is not going to help young mothers2B. birth is not like that at all. mine was peaceful and calm. there was no pain or screaming, and so no pain relief was needed either.

kanga - 29th Jun 2009 09:40:49 interesting comment on the vid campaign: http://www.thefword.org .uk/blog/2009/05/nhs_le icester_u

Raegan - 5th Jun 2009 21:37:11 hey hey people :)

tina - 5th Jun 2009 18:07:10 can someone not sort out all this spam?

mariann - 4th Jun 2009 23:12:51 i think this site isa great idea, im a girl of 20 with no kids, but reading these myths, i only ever heard of about 3, i went to catholic schools growing up and remeber only being told about getting a period nothing about sex or pregnancy ppl need to know

adam - 2nd Jun 2009 17:33:47 worry you s***

Adam - 2nd Jun 2009 15:53:00 I am a male teenager, aged sixteen. I personally believe that this ‘Teenage Pregnancy’ video is of the right content. The purpose is to make people aware of the involvements and commitments of having a child; it’s not condemning teenage pregnancy! Like the message states at the end “Not what you expected? Being a teenage parent might not be either”. Regarding the acting, again, to make a quality clip was not the intention; it is simply to get a non- stereotyped message across. Realistically, the shock factor is the only method that works; specifically with teenagers. I do not believe there is valid information on the reality of teenage pregnancy in schools or in the media. I recently learnt from a teacher of mine who previously lived in the Caribbean, that during her childhood in the 1980’s, the local media displayed images of rape and slaughter victims with no censorship. This shock tactic, therefore educated her into the dangers that could cause such devastation. The modern Britain, in my opinion, is to politically correct, and needs to address issues with methods which achieve results.

M098765 - 1st Jun 2009 21:09:59 I liked this movie and thought it was good. I cannot wait for the next episode. It has my two mates in it this series does!

chloe - 1st Jun 2009 02:34:58 and i was being thrown out of my house to live alone in a flat and raise a child by myself, not havin any help, or Money! i lost the child.. and i hav to say Im relieved because it was a mistake I couldnt deal with =[

chloe - 1st Jun 2009 02:33:14 What If you fall pregnant for someone who really doesn't want a kid. I'm 17 , old enough to have sex , and was in a long term relationship. we were also careful, but it happened. and the guy did not want a kid.and my family wernt suportive

defenderwanadye - 1st Jun 2009 00:04:35 2 u who say just get n abortion- FYI life's only ruin wen it drivn by choice. Bein alowed 2 kil as choice is plain spiteful. I resent my c***ry alowin me 2 kil my childrn by ur example, I thort I doin no harm, I was obviously insane, like al othrs who do.

Albi - 29th May 2009 18:56:17 U are absolutely wright Rachel

Myth 7 - 29th May 2009 18:54:39 Be safe use condoms.

Albi - 29th May 2009 18:54:01 P.E sucks

Rachel - 29th May 2009 13:37:25 Also, why is the stereotypical teenage girl a s***? I have been with one guy and don't intend to sleep around. I have dignity. Stop focusing on girls and think about boys as well. Men can be s***s too so why should we be made to feel ashamed?

Rachel - 29th May 2009 13:32:59 "You cannot be ready for sex at 15". Yes, yes you can. It all depends on your maturity and personal opinion. I have been with him since I was 13, we waited almost 2 years until we were both ready. We love eachother and we are still happy and responsible.

Rachel - 29th May 2009 13:29:46 I don't agree with people saying you can't be ready for sex at 15. People seem to think that teenagers are stupid and succumb to pp. I am in a loving relationship with my boyfriend, for almost 2 years and had sex 3 months ago when I was 15. OUR CHOICE!

jordan - 28th May 2009 21:34:26 the vid was a bit sik but good 4 teens

******* - 27th May 2009 20:42:15 if a condom breaks there is some thing you can di if he has no cum yet then stop and if he has then go to the doctors tell them you have 3 days to go to the doctors n then u r screwd if u dnt

******* - 27th May 2009 20:39:28 there is a 95% u cant but there is a 5% that you can get pregnant

- 27th May 2009 20:38:34 yes if you shower after sex u will get pregnant

******* - 27th May 2009 20:37:43 yes u can get pregnant the first time you have sex

******* - 27th May 2009 20:36:28 no matter what teenage get told there not going to lisson any they are all still going to have sex some coz they want to and some because it is pear pressure that what it comes to at the end of the day

- 26th May 2009 21:31:24 The video is awful. Just awful. It's the most shocking (in the worst way possible) campaign. Honestly, you don't educate anyone. You just make everyone puke.

irwin133 - 26th May 2009 21:01:53 I would like to make a complaint about the video of the teenage girl "giving birth". It is very unrealistic and I think you could have gotten better actors. I just gave birth 4 months ago

carol - 26th May 2009 17:33:59 i was so shocked i can not beleave what i saw well this can not go on the baby could of died i dont know what to think of this

bob - 25th May 2009 12:53:50 i like it

right - 25th May 2009 10:43:02 codoms r not always safe people who lose theri virginity early also say it was the best tings but it's not really just wait till you feel really ready which can maybe feel like never

Leah - 25th May 2009 03:10:24 Im 17 and have been celebate for one year, it has made me feel so much better about myself and by far one of my biggest regrets will be losing my virginty at 15, You cannot be ready for sex at 15. Im now saving myself until mariage and NO im not religous

Anna - 25th May 2009 03:02:33 Some teenagers get pregnant ON PURPOSE because they feel alone and unloved, shouldnt the NHS deal with mental health of these teenagers aswell? Make them see they have a life ahead of them instead of throwing it all away to have a child they cant afford.

Jessica - 25th May 2009 02:58:37 The safest sex is no sex at all! Stop having kids you cant afford and support. Abortion is so easy to get in this country. Dont ruin you and that babys life.

Rachel - 25th May 2009 02:55:15 Stop teaching us about contraception and maybe we will stop having sex!! start teaching us about not having sex until marriage or at least not until your in a stable long-term relationship. I think by teaching about 'safe sex' you encorage it.

Sonia - 24th May 2009 23:42:02 With regard 2 people slating kids 4 having kids & not afordin them (Fact) no 1 knows how long they will live- nature is to reproduce young. (Fact) in reality it's 2 dificult 2 provide 4 urself these days it's not ur fault & a lot go on strike, c results.

Pip - 24th May 2009 23:31:32 The only way to make kids & adults think seriously about sex is to make abortion for social reasons illegal or at least harder to obtain. There's no consequences left, no wonder they don't give a cr*p, life's just a game to most, keep it real.

annoyed! - 24th May 2009 22:54:38 To all you people slating young mums im a young mum and have a diploma, i have my own flat (not a council flat) and was in a long term relationship when i fell pregnant and am still with my sons father contraception is NOT 100%!

- 24th May 2009 22:40:29 Some girls plan on getting regnantat an early age, it may seem really easy being a mum and babies may seem really cute but reality can be alot different! and missing one pill really can lead to pregnancy, even if you have been on it for years!

- 24th May 2009 21:28:46 To those of you saying you're ready and mature: You only think that because you live in your parents' house. Try living life by yourself at 15 and you'll learn to understand.

- 24th May 2009 21:21:38 Would it make a difference if it was real?

retard - 24th May 2009 20:23:27 why would a girl really give birth in the middle of a field? and also; for some guy to go and film it; they must really like girls givin birth or sumet lol.

???? - 24th May 2009 19:36:22 is this real or just made up for the website?

A Canadian - 24th May 2009 18:52:39 It is sad we have to produce videos like this. But since the "old" ways of teaching don't seem to work I do hope this sends the message. One only other message that does get the message across is when you are that girl on the field. Then it is too late.

- - 24th May 2009 18:09:16 The video is a shocker, but no matter how shocking it is, its not going to stop teens from having sex. It shows the birth which looks pretty gruesome, but most teens will be like " well, i`ll use a condom" which of course is a good thing!

Aimee - 24th May 2009 16:41:46 By hitting teenagers, you mean 'hitting girls' right? Why is this video only aimed at girls? Why are we shaming and frightening girls instead of educating ALL teenagers, both boys and girls? Girls don't make babies by themselves, you know?

Lina - 24th May 2009 16:27:17 Guys is this movie that u are showing real??? I mean this one which shows a lot of students screaming and in the center of their cyrcle a student farrowing a baby.Is it real???I am too scared now!!!!!!!!!

Sam - 24th May 2009 15:58:45 I found this great site on how to put on a condom. This is an issue of embarassment for most young guys: http://www.condomonia. com

samantha - 24th May 2009 15:53:10 i just keep wanting to get him in bed or down his trousers i am so horny all the time and even the littlest things make me come whats wrong with me? can someone please answer i need help!

~ - 24th May 2009 15:50:20 my names samantha and i lost my virginty when i was 12 and have one everything with a boy but now whenever i go out withone i always want to get in bed with him and i get names and rumours about me, i cant have relationships. what can i do? im 13 now.

'chelseax - 24th May 2009 15:39:13 to say i have only just found out about this website, it is really good - especially for us teenagers. I am 14 & find this really helpful & its helping me understand more about growing up! - much better than the stuff you get told at school! :)

Louis - 24th May 2009 15:34:45 hey im part of stagecoach leicester and i was asked to make that video with them. It was sofun and imglad that it has effected so amny people.

Chloe - 24th May 2009 14:29:58 my sister had her first child when she was 16, she is 33 now, and has 3 other children and is still with the first childs dad! she managed it! and she doesnt live in a council estate!

Chloe - 24th May 2009 14:28:48 my sister had her first child when she was 16, she is 33 now, and has 3 other children and is still with the first childs dad! she managed it! and she doesnt live in a council estate!

Stupid slut - 24th May 2009 14:20:55 Just don't w**** yourself about. End of moral. Done.

Waste of money - 24th May 2009 14:19:35 The government is literally blowing off in the taxpayers' faces. Have a fooking baby - it's the only way this government will actually pay YOU money.

Gash loosner - 24th May 2009 14:18:17 This website is a complete fake waste of public money. The comments you see other than these ones are left by the team themsleves. FAKE

Jackie - 24th May 2009 13:31:41 Well done to the team who put this website together. Loved the format!. Hopefully the video will mean that lots of teens from everywhere will get to look at it. The "Are you ready yet?" bit is I particularly good.

Tash - 24th May 2009 13:22:54 I think this is a really good website. Us teenagers should know the details about this stuff - all the details and everything - from someone who isn't afraid to give a REAL answer to a question about sex!

Hannah - 24th May 2009 13:20:10 I think this is a really good website, and the video of the teenage birth is really good aswell, i think it will really hit teenagers and make them think, but i also think that you should be promoting the website and video to the whole UK not just 1 place

Hayley - 24th May 2009 12:36:54 If u fall pregnant at a young age dont listen to what everyone els is sayin go with ur heart and check out ur options. U can still live a normal happy life!!!!

Hayley - 24th May 2009 12:32:36 From a young parents prospective: having kids is wonderful no matter what age u are im 18 and my partner is 20 and we have a beautiful healthy 7 months old little boy.

Allie - 24th May 2009 11:32:23 You should never feel pressured into having sex! Not by your boyfriend or friends or because you think everyone else is doing it...because guess what? theyre not! alot of girls prefer to wait until they are older and found someone who really cares...

Sue - 24th May 2009 11:00:49 Could you put some info on breastfeeding here. Those dolls that feed every four hour are useless as they are based on bottlefeeding and pretty much guaranteed to make breastfeeding fail as four hours isn't often enough.

- 24th May 2009 10:52:09 i think its wrong how you are all stereotyping teenage mothers, they all arent s***s who live on council estates. at the end of the day s** happens. my friend had a baby at 16 she was careful and wasnt sleeping about and she is the best mother ever.

wheeler - 24th May 2009 10:20:39 so what if they did use a condom and its split and they found out too late to do anything about it? is that their fault and you should terrify them with that video? i think its wrong. effective, but wrong.

- - 24th May 2009 09:15:27 go to places like Brook, or family planning, they can give you free contraception if youre within the right age, and give you advice, so if you want to, theres a place there that can help with the contraception side.

Kait - 24th May 2009 08:11:13 When i lost my virginity me and this boy in yr 11 were at his and were under his covers not naked but with clothes and he started to put his hands up my skirt and I didn't tell him to stop coz I liked it. then we carried on from their. we had sex. I'm 15

Donna - 24th May 2009 06:45:07 I Don't see why teenage pregnancy is so frowned upon, im 17 and 30 weeks pregnant. Me and my partener are over the moon about it. If you live up to your responsablilities who cares how old you are! Its our life we should decide what we want to do with it.

Kai - 24th May 2009 05:13:27 Why Should We Have To Wait Till We're Sixteen To Have Sex? I Kinda Dont Think Its Fair Tht We Have People Telling Us What We Should And Shouldn't Do Coz It IS Our Lives So Let Us Live Them. If We Make Mistakes Then Its Our Fault.

Alicia from the U.S - 24th May 2009 03:23:27 And he wants to wait 'til he is older to hav sex. So, maybe, if I'm lucky, He is the 1 I'll spend the rest of my life with... Or maybe this is just sum 3- month-long irrational teen feelings tht we always seem to get. Who knows?

Alicia from the U.S - 24th May 2009 03:19:01 sure tht I'm loved b4 I get in2 all of tht. And when I do, I'll use Birth-Control cuz' I'm not ready to be a mom and I'll use a condom cuz' I'll nvr be OK with havins an STD. And I hav a friend whom I may be falling for and he is so amazing and wonderful.

Alicia from the U.S - 24th May 2009 03:15:49 I'm a month shy of my 15th B-Day and I do believe I'm ready for sex. However, I don't want to do it with just some guy, I want to fall in love. The kind of love tht makes u cry, I know thts real sappy but honestly, I want to be sure I'm in love and be...

Kells P-T From London & Leics - 24th May 2009 02:56:23 This is in reply to James Wood's reply to mine. Well I understand that but how can that fully explain the issues of teenage pregnancy apart from making it look like a freak show,for me it didn't cover the major reasons apart from birth looking really grim

Amy - 24th May 2009 02:17:51 Why are we making it out to seem a 16 year old mother couldnt provide as much as a 30 year old mother could? Does it seriously matter how old the parent is. Like Kizzy showed us, for those who watched 'Kizzy: mum at 14' age doesnt matter at all.

... - 24th May 2009 00:22:33 teen pregnancy is disgusting! its always people who live in council estates and cant actually afford the upbriging of their children who have babies young! There all minks!!! I think contraception should be in the law 2 stop teenage pregancies! get a life

Lorna - 24th May 2009 00:18:51 if you go to a family plnning clinic you can get condoms for free, and it's anonymous, so your parents wont know, try find one,

- - 23rd May 2009 23:50:01 i haven't had sex but i've done basically everything else with a boy. i have never told my friends and i can't tell them now because theyll hate me for lying to them when they asked how far i'd gone with a boy and i only said making out. what should i do?

Muzzy - 23rd May 2009 23:14:08 air this on t.v. it really will send out a message on t.v especially C4 as that's where we youhts watch things lyk hollyyoaks

jake - 23rd May 2009 23:02:01 i had sex and im 14, but only once, afterwards she said she was pregnant and started all sorts of rumours, i dont think shes pregnant as its been 4 months now, but i have been put off of sex, and i you should seriously consider who you have sex with.

- 23rd May 2009 22:57:59 im warning u all da teenage girlz So only have sex when you are ready with someone who cares.

- 23rd May 2009 22:50:28 be intelligent and all im saying is only have sex when you are ready with someone who cares.

claire barlow - 23rd May 2009 22:48:30 i am a student midwife in scotland and research has shown that there is an increase in teenage pregnancies. my personal opinion on the matter is many girls believe that you can't fall pregnant when you have sex for the first time, sadly this is not true.

babeee - 23rd May 2009 22:45:19 im 15, i have done everything apart from sex & tbh i feel i am mature enough to have sex so i personally dont think you should have to wait till you 16. xxxxx

- 23rd May 2009 22:25:41 I personally think teens should wait to have sex, not just because of pregnancy but regreting your first time brings you down. So only have sex when you are ready with someone who cares. I should know, i wish i waited till i was over 16 at leas

- - 23rd May 2009 22:10:17 not gonna stop me having sex However i always make sure my bf is wearing a condom. :) im 15.

? - 23rd May 2009 22:06:55 so all these myth things that say you cant get pregnant when your on the pill..so on blaa..does it baasicly mean you can get pregnant at any time no matter what?

:S - 23rd May 2009 22:02:15 is that video real?

Sarah - 23rd May 2009 20:28:06 That Video Is Kinda Scary! But Its No Gonna Stop Me! I Always Make Sure The Guy Is Wearing A Condom:D

Anil - 23rd May 2009 20:19:08 condoms are not 100% safe they are about 97.7% safe so u can get prgnant with a condom

Louise - 23rd May 2009 19:41:38 Im 17 Im still a virgin& havent done anything with a guy All my mates have lost their virginity& when were talking i dread them bringing up the topic of sex becuase i am so embarrassed that i havent had it PEER PRESSURE is what causes teenage pregnancy.

Kez - 23rd May 2009 18:47:32 Everyone who comments saying the problem is what happens after the birth should be aware that all of these teenage pregnancys will get heaps loads of benefits off the taxpayer after the baby is born simply cause they couldnt keep their knickers up.

okaayy - 23rd May 2009 18:25:53 i thought the film was effective, but i think by the end of the day its something people will have forgotten about! i also think that not only will you be putting teens off pregnancy also adults as well. plus its not the real picture (caring for the baby)

E. - 23rd May 2009 18:21:40 I think its scary. But wouldnt stop me having sex underage. It only scares the preganant teenagers atm. Id be so scared right now if i was a pregnant teenager. Coz you dont think of the actual birth when your preganant do you? Just the stuff afterwards.

- 23rd May 2009 18:07:43 I don't think it is hard hitting at all. You can hardly even tell what is going on. Way to terrify the girls that are pregnant teenagers.

james woods - 23rd May 2009 17:58:50 well i thought it was affective and im answereing kells comment about why in a sports field because its ment to be at school so that the pupils get the picture of teenage pregnancy is not all that good

Kells P-T - 23rd May 2009 17:14:28 I think the video has not conveyed the real issue!Why a sports field?!The thing that young people don't understand is the struggle AFTER having a child the factors they are faced and whether they have a good support network i.e family or bf/gf to cope

derek carter - 23rd May 2009 17:07:24 well done leicester about time some one had the guts to show it as it is

lena - 23rd May 2009 13:52:00 Why create a horror for the act of birth? Why don't you show the real problem of teenager mothers - responsability for a little child by not being sure of her own lifes, money, work, study...THIS is the problem!

Helen - 23rd May 2009 13:36:30 I agree with KenS. Children are a gift. If a young woman gets pregnant, we shouldn't treat her like a leper.

KenS - 23rd May 2009 13:01:49 Pregnancy is not a disease. Childbirth is not a horror show. You people should be ashamed of yourselves for doing this. You will be the death of our English culture.

Mhm.. what? - 23rd May 2009 05:32:48 Really, when you actually contemplate the whole idea of teen pregnancy, not just the labour and all that but the WHOLE story. You actually see how silly the ordeal is. Why teens do this is simply incomprehensible to me. They could at least use a condom...

Sanguis Deus - 23rd May 2009 04:59:58 Procreation is futile. All life will end. Your lives, and any lives you create, will always be meaningless.

Kira - 23rd May 2009 04:41:26 The whole "Teenage Pregnancy Video" thing is quite creepy, even though I know it's fake. But I don't get the point of it.

lols - 22nd May 2009 22:56:54 urrmmmmmmmmmm...... well it makes no sense

Lulu - 22nd May 2009 22:50:27 we need more of these vids on TV! its really effective!

Tina - 22nd May 2009 20:42:20 So how will anyone know if this videoclip actually makes a difference......?

Sarah Johnson - 22nd May 2009 20:33:25 I am horrified by your film. I understand you want to put girls off getting pregnant. All you will do is increas abortions and instil a life-long dread of childbirth, which, as anyone with any knowledge of the subject has, does not have to be traumatic.

Canadian Mom - 22nd May 2009 18:41:14 Excellent! with teens today so exposed and desensitized to violence, sex, drugs etc - this is the hit home type of message that is needed. Clearly, there has always been teen pregnancy, once it was shameful, then romanticized, and now NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT

Anomous - 22nd May 2009 16:59:15 wow, that video really made me think, i'm so buying a promise ring! LOL.

thinker - 22nd May 2009 15:04:17 i want to know why teenegers had done the sex earlier .

NK - 22nd May 2009 14:32:18 wow...very good ad!! the funny thing is that's exactly how it would go down in a lot of schools!!

gemma - 22nd May 2009 12:50:46 no it doesnt work its void

Gemma - 22nd May 2009 12:49:14 I was a teen mum and i think this site is a positive not a negative. well done

**Mexx - 22nd May 2009 03:06:06 Well I have a friend that just turned 16 and is 7 months pregnant and she doesnt understand how hard it is going to be. The worst part is her and her boyfriend (who live with her mom)planned it and she got off her birth control to have a baby.he doesnt wo

Gash loosner - 22nd May 2009 00:35:00 try me out. I'll leave the kid with you.

Semen - 22nd May 2009 00:33:36 Semen makes me horny

Dharmendra - 21st May 2009 22:25:44 This is something which can not be accepted at any cost.

Danielle in America - 21st May 2009 22:19:54 I can count at least 10 girls I graduated with who have had children, repeating the cycle of poor parenting and confusion in which they were brought up. Every girl needs to understand what having a baby as a teen *really* means! Thanks for this!

Danielle in America - 21st May 2009 22:19:19 I can count at least 10 girls I graduated with who have had children, repeating the cycle of poor parenting and confusion in which they were brought up. Every girl needs to understand what having a baby as a teen *really* means! Thanks for this!

Peter - 21st May 2009 22:10:24 I think you video is spot on for the audience it is aimed at - well done to the NHS for such forward looking staff.

David - 21st May 2009 22:02:03 The video SHOULD be making a stir, people need to realise that these shock tactics are the ONLY WAY teenagers are going to listen - the days of leaflets and posters are long gone. WELL DONE NHS LEICESTER!!

Gill - 21st May 2009 21:54:34 One of the things I love about my friends in the UK, is that they have a great way of getting right to the point. A no-nonsense culture with a heart. I'm happy to be a father and I was READY for it. I feel for anyone who wasn't. Admiration from Canada

Meaghan - 21st May 2009 21:18:30 I hate how this video keeps being removed from youtube...censorship will not lead to better things or understanding

Michael - 21st May 2009 19:07:42 I am 14 this video was very eye opening to me and my girlfriend thank you!

- 21st May 2009 17:24:16 The point of this is not to "shame" a girl at her most vulnerable, it's to make her decide not to put herself at risk of this. And it's a great way to do it!

precious rhianna - 21st May 2009 17:03:15 im am 10 and i find tht vidio very interesting because it proves tht there sud be no sex before marrige and sex is not for teenagers

Cheryl - 21st May 2009 16:42:09 Love this site. I am a 32yr old mom and appreciate that this information is out there for all.

Andraya - 21st May 2009 16:35:01 Why are only two options presented for pregnancy? Abortion and adoption are not the only choices, parenting is as well. Where is the advice and resources for young people who choose to parent???

Belinda (UK) - 21st May 2009 13:40:05 Brilliant site! The UK has it's head in the clouds regarding sex education. Parents are quick to blame everyone else and not take responsibility for their role to play. The UK has the highest teen pregnancy rate in Europe, it's time to make changes!

- 21st May 2009 13:16:26 parents. But then, if you choose to have kids who's to stop you. People can be good parents even when they're young. Look back a few decades and it was the norm.

- 21st May 2009 13:13:50 But being more open about sex is definitely a good thing. We should take the example of the Dutch. If we created more opportunities for young people and stopped making them the 'problem', patronising and demonising them, then I think there'd be less young

- 21st May 2009 13:10:22 Awful video. I don't see the educational value. Voyeurism and shaming of a girl in her most vulnerable state. I wish this government would stop trying to deal with the 'problem' of teen pregnancy. The figures of pregnant teens have been stable for years.

s.m.l - 21st May 2009 13:03:23 great page this video should not be banned it shows alot for teens. they should make more

- 21st May 2009 07:51:57 In England, a baby means no need for a job, a flat and a head for the benefit council estate lifestyle! Bingo halls, netto, stinking flats, speaker blaring on the window sill with the curtain flapping, no need to pronounce letter 't', crisis loans.

- 21st May 2009 07:43:58 This is normal in Thanet, my friend is a school janitor and often finds still borns in the dustbins in the school, England is full of s***s and uneducated asbos.

Amnuay, TH - 21st May 2009 05:56:45 Hi just passed by through news heading. This is a very nice web site and I really love your products. Additionally if I can click on the note above "Myth 6: ..." and get more info on it it would be more nice. Cheers!

Yvonne (Canada) - 21st May 2009 05:32:16 Neat site! I love the way it's set up. Came across the link thru internet news. As a parent I would like to say, "Bravo!" for the video; it's in-your-face graphics hit home.

James - 21st May 2009 04:38:53 Awsome site with some good info! Hi,from KITCHENER,CANADA

Kevin (Canada) - 21st May 2009 02:40:20 Came across this site through a link from our national public broadcaster. I just want to say WOW. This is a great site, congratulations and keep up the great work.

faye - 21st May 2009 01:18:23 this video should hopefully show all youngsters that sex is not cool you do it wen you love someone and you use protection pregnancy is just the beginning u can get STI's and then you can smell down there even turn a funny colour USE PROTECTION

Gish - 21st May 2009 00:55:19 The issue of 'teen pregnancy' is a moral standard. Each case needs to be viewed individually, as levels of maturity are relative.

Gish - 21st May 2009 00:51:21 The issue of 'teen pregnancy' is a moral standard. Each case needs to be viewed individually, as levels of maturity are relative.

Clarice - 21st May 2009 00:49:34 How is the event of giving birth offensive?

Shona - 21st May 2009 00:31:57 Its strange to think that this video would be banned on youtube when there still remains actual offensive material. This video is a good idea, although perhaps not shocking enough? I think it should be made into a TV advert.

Ash - 21st May 2009 00:22:32 Unfortunately, the intelligence level of teenagers has decreased over the years, and we're simply seeing neanderthal behaviour from what should be the next generation of human beings. I'm thankful I will NEVER have any children!

Tina - 21st May 2009 00:14:07 baby at 16 or 36. They will take responsibility. Others need to have a bit more respect.

Tina - 21st May 2009 00:11:27 I understand the whole shock tactic thing, but are you really proud of the comments this is getting on youtube? Shaming girls this way doesn't help anyone. If a girl has self confidence and high aspirations then it doesn't matter if she has a...

Marissa - 21st May 2009 00:08:04 I wish they would have more things like this over in the states. We don't really completely learn this stuff here.

kimberly : ) - 21st May 2009 00:01:41 the video was a great idea, but i don't think it's very effective. although i'm not a virgin, but am no longer sexually active because i became aware of the risks i was taking at such a young age, the video did scare the s** outta me : )

angry 19 year old - 20th May 2009 23:51:11 There are so many methods of contraception out there and yet they're never advertised properly. I mean they only put the condom adverts on after 9pm, how is that going to help anybody!

Jackie - 20th May 2009 23:47:23 I am a thirty one year old mother of a 15 year old daughter, so I was 16 when I had my daughter. It was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. Still is. PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE and get help.

Faye - 20th May 2009 23:44:51 I'm 18 and if I've needed contraception I've gone and got it. If you go and buy it they may judge you but you're playing it safe. The younger generation of teens need to step up and not expect everyting to be handed to them!

? - 20th May 2009 22:51:41 how do u no if u r pregnant when u are on the pill??

:)3 - 20th May 2009 22:44:12 When you go to the doctors, they ask you alot of questions, and this sometimes stops teens going to get contraception, also they go to their families clinic, and are worried that their family will find out. . :)

:)2 - 20th May 2009 22:42:24 And then some girls wont have an abortion because when you have a living thing inside you, the feeling is sooo different. I think contraception should be easier to get for teens, because atm it can be an embarrassing and long task to get it. . .

:) - 20th May 2009 22:40:16 I just wanna say, to all the people who are saying that people who have babies young are s***s & all this. . .Some of them dont mean to, accidents happen, and you dont realise what its like until you actually realise there is a baby inside you.

dani - 20th May 2009 22:26:23 as a women who had a baby at 18 i think this is brilliant. It is obviously not working doing so called sex education in schools and something needs to be done. Whilst I think that a teen mother can do just as good a job as a woman in her 30's it hard.

donna_kit_kat - 20th May 2009 21:57:52 The add frighten girls to kill their child instead of give birth, shame on you!! Adults should think more about teaching to value life n compassion, instead of value career n money making£££ Adults pass on their values & it result in pg, often abortion!!

America, Fuck Yeah!!! - 20th May 2009 21:28:32 Fake... Shooped

gemloveskyle - 20th May 2009 21:01:11 i dont think that people should be saying that having a baby at 16 is just for the benefits and the money involved i think you are all disgusting and need to think twice about what you say im a mother at 16 and i have got along just fine no help no money!

Demi - 20th May 2009 20:54:23 The "Teen Birth" video is not working.

James - 20th May 2009 20:48:41 I think you did a fantastic Job. If only we were not so Politically Correct here in the states, this would be perfect. I would suggest doing something like this on HIV/AIDS and STDs.

Heather - 20th May 2009 20:47:35 Even though the video will probably scare teens it's just not the truth about giving birth, I suggest showing what a real birth is like and the medical procedures you really have to go through to have a child whether it be natural or c- section.

Laura - 20th May 2009 20:44:39 That Video Was Perthetic.. Nothing Like Real Pregnancy DURRRRRRRRRRRRR

Adrian Schmid - 20th May 2009 20:36:07 Your child birth video was really well done. I wish someone would come up with something like that here in Canada!!!

&!*!&& - 20th May 2009 20:21:06 Although teen pregnancy is a tough thing to deal with, your commercial is really unlikely..why would there be a ton of kids standing around watching this girl give birth? It wouldnt happen. Its an ridiculous view of teen pregnancy.

Mrs. Tarquin - 20th May 2009 20:14:01 Friendly & informative site. My only quarrel with the video is the "shaming" aspect of all those people standing 'round whilst the girl screams.

??? - 20th May 2009 20:12:48 I had sex last night am I pregnant?

Girl ruined... 3 - 20th May 2009 19:32:18 ...state will provide for her.. isnt something in that which would have made it illigal for her to have a baby or at least not keep the baby becuase its just a fashion and blackmail statement for her.. or do tax payers have to just deal with it??

Girl ruined her own life 2 - 20th May 2009 19:31:02 ...keep her bf with her.. but now shes waiting on the council to provide her with a house and benifits and is rolling around everyones house asking for a night to stay.. she doesnt want a job carrer education nuting becuase she noes the state will provide

Girl ruined her own life - 20th May 2009 19:29:56 i have a friend who has recently given birth she is 17 she was 16 wen she became pregnant shes been pregnant twice before and got rid of them (so she says) has tried to commit suicide uncountable amounts of time and had a baby to keep her boyfriend with

Shi-Hsia - 20th May 2009 19:27:06 Good video. I can't believe YouTube banned what's essentially an educational video, that's ridiculous.

jo - 20th May 2009 19:18:09 omg omg omg omg omg i feel 4 dat girl it looks bare real dayzz feel 4 her real bad

Kisonu - 20th May 2009 18:42:44 Its about time someone took the shock tactic to teen pregnancy. im an american living in Dallas Texas.. i saw this on the news and thought " Finally someone gets it. Teens need shocked" Great job guys and gals! Keep spreading the word!

claire - 20th May 2009 18:42:27 i cant stand teenage pregnancys all they want is a council flat and benefits i work very hard for my money an get paid loads of tax these ppl should be sterilized

Kate Calvert - 20th May 2009 18:24:14 Video is good but don't show the girl giving birth on her back - uncomfortable, hard to get the baby out, and more likely to tear. No-one does that spontaneously - only in hospital where it's demanded.

Joanne - 20th May 2009 18:21:33 i do think there is wrong press in this country about pregnancy. (av a kid & we wil giv u a house & benefits) why not get a career, have a husband & then have a baby. oh and what happened to good old fashioned foreplay????

Joanne - 20th May 2009 18:12:59 i think this video is scary i am 23 and it makes me think twice. i just hope people see this as a serious note as things like this really does happen. its a lonely world when your mates are out and you are stuck in side looking after a baby at that age!!!

- 20th May 2009 18:04:23 I luv this site. The video is a neat idea. Some will get the message, and maybe think twice. Some won't. That's no reason to stop trying to portray reality!

Tax payer - 20th May 2009 17:50:36 Sterilise the lot of them, they're out breeding decent people.

Kimie - 20th May 2009 15:37:06 the video isnt real they are acters just 2 let u knw it was done by the NHS

Kimie - 20th May 2009 15:35:51 im a teenage mom i got pregnant at 14 gave birth at 15 n now im 16 this video doesnt affect me at makes me feel no different at all

female - 29 - 20th May 2009 15:33:36 This ad. has shock tactics but where is the context? 10-15 year olds are not necessarily going to link the birth to the sex, and the likelihood of a girl being unaware of the pregnancy and then having it on the school playing field in absurd.

Phil Micallef - 20th May 2009 14:54:47 I have chode. Said.

James Mill - 20th May 2009 14:54:21 If she's old enough to bleed, she's bleeding old enough. Is the baby from the video still around? I'd like to meet up for some spinking.

**AnDyJaNdY** - 20th May 2009 14:49:53 I fink yeh, that teenage pregnancy is wiked. Dat grl in the video, I banged her but I aint paying maintenance.

Leanne babe... - 20th May 2009 14:30:48 heya babe...im soo happy about ur baby wot u had on the school field...so bloody but cute!! Good luck in the future with the baby!! xxxx

AmIi SaRaH tUnStAlL - 20th May 2009 14:29:28 omg!!! the teenage pregnanvy is really groace!!! ewwwwwwww!!! its very disturbing!!! Why would you have a f***ing child at school on tyhe field infront of all your mates...that is just sad!!! Go home next time love!!!

Sassy - 20th May 2009 14:18:12 well 1. boys have underage sex too =S 2. i dnt feel it will stop them having sex but maybe they will use protection. 3. videos sick =O donht think should have showed poor girls face unless shes getting paid a fortune=D 4. Is it real? Someone Relpy?Chow X

Dave - 20th May 2009 13:41:12 As a 27 year old bloke I've grown up with pathetic attempts at telling us about safe sex etc. It's about time there was something a little more hardhitting. How about following this with the next few years of the girls life, cos it ain't easy!

Sandy - 20th May 2009 13:22:50 Interesting video. Hope it makes teens think of the consequences of underage sex and lack of contraception. Perhaps it should incorporate seeing the couple, seeing him go with someone else and then seeing the shock on his face when the baby is born!

Emma - 20th May 2009 11:45:44 Birth is a positive and joyfull experience at any age, this video does not promote that and these girls will end up feeling the way i did....and still do!

Emma - 20th May 2009 11:44:35 Baby is fine and now 10, but the impact of poeples negative storys made me scared of birth and i had a c-section, this has impacted on all subsequent births, and i have struggled for with Post Traumatic stress, postnatal depression and grief

iwette - 20th May 2009 11:39:10 hustý

- 20th May 2009 11:29:11 hey emma. is this baby okay??? live it???

- 20th May 2009 11:27:38 This Way is not right....extreme shock for me,

Emma - 20th May 2009 11:24:44 This will end up causing trauma to young women, problems with subsequent births and an impact on NHS budgets!

Emma - 20th May 2009 11:23:26 As an organisation you should be thinking about student lead learning and interactive lesson, i was a teenage parent,and this tactic was used on me, sadly i was traumatised about birth and ended up with surgery to deliver my baby, due to a fear of birth!

Emma - 20th May 2009 11:20:54 As an antenatal teacher and once a teenage parent, i believe this problem need tackling but not this way, at some point these girls will have children when they are older, and you are not painting a positive picture of bith as a joyful event

Amy - 20th May 2009 11:15:08 Although this video is affective it is not realistic. A heavily pregnant girl would not be allowed to attent school and certainly wouldnt be giving birth in the middle of a playing field. I do agree with the campaign you are running. It is a great cause.

Lovelyday - 20th May 2009 11:00:05 This video wrong... It might make some girls think twice about having unprotected or underage sex But most boys won’t give a s** coz it’s not them that will have to give birth to a baby. I don’t think it will make a big difference. Most schools already show a video of a women giving birth in sex education classes. If they want to show how hard teenage pregnancy can be, they should be more realistic and show teenage parents missing out on having fun nights out with friends, or holidays, or succeeding at their education or their dreams in life. At the end of the day most girls are going to have to give birth at one point in their life if they want children, there for this video is not really showing the proper consequences of being a teenage parent.

Sonia - 20th May 2009 10:38:21 Although every little helps a video isnt going to change all the unwanted pregnancies, it all needs to start at home

hichem - 20th May 2009 10:35:36 am very sorry and I dont wanna upset anyone that video is really discusting

Annabelle - 20th May 2009 10:33:15 Despite the controversy of this video,i think its important for teenagers to know that having a baby certainly isnt all glitz and glamour-i speak from personal experience...its an extremely hard full time job!

Sharon - 20th May 2009 09:08:18 It would be helpful if when you put 'contraception' into the search engine if some relevant links came up, it is part of sexual health too!!

sarah - 20th May 2009 08:42:48 congratulations on your video campaign. this is the kind of message that young people will listen to - after all - the video was developed after consultation with them. sod the negative comments & keep up the good work leicester!

Patrick - 20th May 2009 04:33:49 While i appreciate your work to raise sexual awareness, i believe you are going about it in the wrong way. Once again we see someone pushing their opinion on someone else.

Eleanor Durant - 20 years old, student midwife - 19th May 2009 23:00:08 ...culturally sensitive group. Do you really think the few teenagers you put off pregnancy are worth terrifying the women midwives have to work with every day?

Eleanor Durant - 20 years old, student midwife - 19th May 2009 22:58:52 I cannot put into words how awful a thing you have done. The culture in this country encourages sheer terror at labour and birth. It's hard enough already trying to achieve a good birth experience with teenage mothers already, as they are a very...

Coza - 19th May 2009 22:47:56 I fell pregnant at the age of 17,,to me this video isn't goin to help at all. You c worse videos than this in child development an as soon as you leave the classroom ur mind goes off the shock of the videos you've just seen,so its a total waste of time!

Geri - 19th May 2009 19:20:34 I think its good tht this is around but tbf there is loads of these things and teens are stil gettin pregnant so they still havent found the "answer"

Rihannon - 19th May 2009 18:35:48 Is this just used or an advert or isit actually really happening as i go hamilton and i dont recall anything like that happening.

michelle - 19th May 2009 18:15:30 i think this is a wkd website, i think it will shock guys n girls into practising safe sex, im 19 and pregnant, the film hasnt put me off but thn again its not aimed at me really as im nearly 20 :) awesome film tho x

michelle - 19th May 2009 18:13:29 i think this is a wkd website, i think it will shock guys n girls into practising safe sex, im 19 and pregnant, the film hasnt put me off but thn again its not aimed at me really as im nearly 20 :) awesome film tho x

Jaki - 19th May 2009 18:13:28 tbh that video dosnt really do alot for me it is not going to stop teenagers becoming pregnant! but sex education for teenagers might do so money been wasted on videos and not in skools just shows why young people have children!

hilary - 19th May 2009 18:07:17 i was 16 when i got preganant, if only i had seen this website before!

Charlotte - 19th May 2009 17:01:10 This whole website is aimed at girls- from the pink fluff in the background to the 'hey babe' address to the fake diary layout. The video is a fitting extension of the terrible cliché ridden website. It takes two to tango, 'babe'.

Laura - 19th May 2009 14:37:06 I am really impressed with this Website. I am both an Inclusion Support Worker and a Youth worker. This website is fantastic. I will definatly be recommending this website.

about time someone did something to shock kids getting pregnant but also their iresponsible pearents who are happy for them to scrounge of the government something needs to be done as these thoughtless s******* are giving all young girls a bad name

row - 19th May 2009 13:30:55 agree with 24yr old mum only scratches surface but also agree with jenna need some hard-hitting stuff. Sayin tht when we watched our sex ed video the woman giving birth looked so calm! and tht was a few yrs ago

lisa - 19th May 2009 13:29:28 i think the video is fantastic it puts everything into perspective i was with my man for four years and married i had my dawter at 23 and i found it an extreme shock to the system think about what you kids are doing please

Sensible Charlie - 19th May 2009 13:28:21 cause u can get preg in the shower... wot numb nuts told u ya cant

jenna - 19th May 2009 13:27:34 i dont think this is hard hitting enough!

24yr old mum of 1yr old - 19th May 2009 13:27:31 I think that is a brilliant film, and only scratches the surface of what these teenagers are letting themselves in for, not even wound deep. But do agree on anon's comment, there needs to be some hard- hitting stuff for the males... Behind you 100%

Pauline - 19th May 2009 12:18:15 have you looked at the comments about the movie left on the youtube site?

- 19th May 2009 12:14:24 A boy can wear a condom or abstain, that's about it. Girls, if they are olde enough to have sex should also have the nouse to realise that accidents happen and therefore protect themselves in other ways i.e. the pill or contraceptive implants.

Patrick - 19th May 2009 11:20:05 No doubt it's the usual Daily Mail readers who are up in arms - those who probably couldn't be further removed from youth culture. I guess the video was supposed to get people to sit up and take notice. It's done that, so well done!

oh dear-where does the boy's reponsibility lie with this?! Apparently just up to the girl to deal with pregnancy (or stopping it)-unlikely to work with only half the equation tackled!

From Hey Babe: Thank you for taking the time to comment. The video does show a girl giving birth, but this does not mean we are putting all the blame on girls. Check back on 1st June for our drama series, which will show boys' side of the story.

This is hideous, quite frankly. Not only are you placing the onus of 'not getting pregnant' solely on girls, and exonerating men and boys of al responsibility, but you are also using tired, sexist, horrible women shaming tactics. Disgusting.

From Hey Babe: Thank you for taking an interest in this issue. By no means are we saying it is just girls' responsibility. Please come back to the site on 1st June to see our drama series, which covers things from a boys' perspectives as well.

- 16th May 2009 23:13:47 excellent - in the content & how it has been presented.
