Hm.. that kinda actually happened in my school lol. Me and another girl were pregnant at teh same time, she was a few weeks ahead of me, and she went into labour at lunch time on the field.. obviously she didn't give birth on the field tho lol.
I certainly dont think it would help with teen pregnancies... it's not like at 14/15/16 you're gunna watch taht and think "oh my THATS how you get the baby out? no thank you!"

On a side note, this was 12 years ago now, but I went to school right up to birth! Went home one friday for the weekend, gave birth on the Sunday at 39+3, then was back at school on the monday for my first GCSE!

Tbh it wasn't very convincing. It wouldn't have made me do things any differently. After all i didn't exactly try to get pregnant, it was an accident..xx

when i was at school we had to see a birth video and t didn't put us off we just laughed at it tbh, then when i was at secondry school we had some teen mums come in and had a pregnant belly suit to show what it felt like to be pregnant, in my opinion nothing is going to put you off ony yourself can do that, i mean if a video of someone giving birth was going to put you off i don't think it would just be to have them young it would be all together if that makes sense

I've seen this before. And I don't think it would put teens off having sex. I think it would maybe make them consider contraception more (being hopeful here!) because a lot of teenagers think that pregnancy won't happen to them but it quite obviously can. I think if shown in school a lot would laugh at it and think it was funny but I would hope that it made them realise that teenagers are not invincible and they CAN get pregnant so if they are having sex then maybe they should use some sort of contraception

I think the TV program where teens that want a baby have to take responsibility for babies for a week or 2 is the best test for teens, seems to give them a real reality check xxx

you mean it isn't?!?!?! ohmygoodness i'm so relieved.
but really. i totally agree with that statement.

its a hard to say on really, I see where the video is coming from but its doubtful it works, its hard to say what would work! more emphasis should be put on how easy it is to fall pregnant and contraception, teens need to be able to feel able to talk about different forms of contraception and not worry about 'looking bad' its the general opinion that needs to go as I don't know of any parents teen and non teen that would encourage underage pregnancy

 

[Tanara]

I dont think anything anyone can show or say to teens is going to change their minds, i have 2 cousins who seen me struggle sen all the crap ive dealt with and had to do for my son and guess one one hada 1 year old now and the other is pregnant. Teens are going to have sex and they are going to continue to not be safe about it and teens are going to continue to have babies.
No teen mom going in and talking to them is going to help, heck they have those fake babies that we had to take care of in health class, still over 12 girls i went to highschool with have babies.

 

[hopeandpray]

from what i can tell there are 4 reasons teens get pregnant, 1 contraception fail which nobody can prevent 2 planned for the wrong reasons - in this case it seems there are alot of people that do it because they are lonely or trying to keep a boyfriend, these people need counselling 3 planned for the right reason, nothing wrong with that 4 an accidental pregnancy, only putting teens on birthcontrol can stop this and nobody can force them to do anything they dont want with their own bodies

 

[lushious09]

that just made me laugh at how ridiculous it was... 1. she would know she was pregnant 2. they wouldnt leave her in the middle of a feild to give birth... babys dont come THAT quick... 3. Even if she didnt know she was pregnant for some bizzar unknown reason im sure the school would have!

All teenagers know about sex and that sex makes babies... the problem isint that they are unaware at using contraception... the problem is having a baby is too much of a awww that would be fun concept... if they wanna use a scare tactic how about advertising the hellish time they would have attempting to afford a baby been alone and loosing their childhood whilst their friends go on to do what they want with no responsability!

I'm the first person from my year at school to get pregnant. I only know of two in my entire school of 1300 pupils during the time I was there, that had babies.

In my previous school we had really good sex ed and STI infomation but plenty more people got pregnant.

In my new school in northern ireland, they basically told you nothing and had a group of crazy christians come in every 2 years to tell you that celibacy is great.

>.< I dunno, it doesn't make sense. Maybe it's the stigma of 'sex' so young in such a christ-fearing country? It annoys me though - I still think more info is better.

I think the boys in my class just would have gone "eew" and then laughed. Honestly I think some of the home-birth videos that are on the internet would do a much better job at scaring highschoolers away from getting pregnant. lol
