Teen pregnancy is a growing fad among girls in Devon, they are of the view that babies are cute so go in for pregnancy and overlooking the other side of being a mom. In going with vogue, they actually put their childhood at stake. A pregnant 14-year-old, Kizzy Neal, says that it is fashionable to be pregnant and so taking ‘inspiration’ from her, some four girls of the same class too have fallen pregnant since Christmas. Family campaigners are of the view that the Government’s sex education policy had left teens with the ‘ridiculous but extremely worrying’ misconception that having a child was no different to getting a new handbag. Her father Kevin, 43, blamed the rise in underage pregnancies on growing ‘gang culture’ where teenagers hang around drinking, taking drugs and having sex. His wife, Kerry, 41, said, No-one was to blame for her getting pregnant apart from herself. She was defiant. There’s nothing for children to do in Paignton. I honestly think they get bored and think it’s a fashionable thing to get pregnant. Personally, I feel this whole fad thing is outrageous. It seems as if the culture is seeing baby as a fashion accessory. What is the difference between these teens and animals? Both live for, sex and food.
