Having a baby at 16 isn't exactly a problem I dont think, I just think its bad when girls even younger than that get pregnant. I guess what doesnt appear right in particular is the fact that we see 16yr olds still in their school uniforms and clearly close to their due date. I know a girl however who got pregnant when she was in her last year at school, I cant remember if she actually had the baby before leaving, but she's a really good mum and balancing college and looking after her, and I think that its nice to see that some teen mums do take up that opportunity rather than fit the stereotype and dont bother. There are plenty of opportunities for young mums these days with creches at colleges and flexible working hours in many places of employment.
