Fashion? Or Stupidity

Official figures showed England and Wales have the highest rates of teenage pregnancies in Europe.

Worryingly, the biggest increase in the latest statistics came among younger girls. The 7,917 pregnancies recorded among girls under 16 reversed several years of falling underage conception rates.

In 2005 the number of pregnancies among under-18s was 39,683 - up from 39,593 in 2004, and higher than the 35,400 recorded a decade ago in 1995.

Even the rate is falling, but the problem still exist. Teenagers thinks that having a baby is 'fashionable' , they do not know the consequent of having a baby. It means that they need to give up their childhood.

Is underage sex and pregnancy really fashionable or it is just stupidity?
