Good idea Jean, should bring that punishment back what do you think??? ;-))))))

oh happy days it has gone must be big brother or mother watching down on us in case we upset members we have a spy ladies and gents

i was a teenage mum . i had my 1st son when i was 17,my 2nd son when i was 19. and by the time i was 22 i had 2 more children. my son was a dad at the age of 18 and maried at 19 and now has 3 children .my daughter was a mum at 18 aswell. i wouldnt say that me and hubby are lazy!!! my mum and dad were very hard workers and although they are both now in their 70's they still work part time. i think the statistics are wrong!! i totally disagree with them. susie

your replies are showing on mine yours was the first reply on page one Helenxx

helen that was her first reply the 2nd one has gone xx but who can remove replys xx apart from the sender

Have to say again: (Sorry) These are statistics for today's teenagers. I doubt that you ladies are teenagers (Sorry, sorry). You have to bear that in mind. (Sorry, sorry, sorry) Things have changed.

dan are these just in the places you named or england? it dose sound daft to me you have sex or you dont end of story no matter what your parents do in life

I'm only reading what the paper says. I would imagine it to be similar in places with rich to poor sections of society, which is more or less everywhere.

wendy x aka maz the hit man and her they are out in full force tonight babe carnt be gc , they dont look over weekend or so i hear so must be a spy working for gc/gr xx

dan dont believe all you read ,,, they get it wronge more often than right x

Dan if you beleive everything you read..you will eat everything you see!!!

jean i agree wonder why though we all are agreeing or debating so why unless she upset a member and they have power to get rid a spy xx god how scarey is that x

This isn't some bit of trivia. They can't lie about figures. Black and white for all to see. It was also featured on local radio etc so there must be some truth in it. (PS: I do like my food :-)

Val sorry? don't understand your message!

Jean what are you and Val talking about????

ann it just seems to be maz who looses her replys and i thought may be a member works for gc / gr xx that is all xxim not sure but i dont think they work on weekends but if they do why remove a reply when it takes them for ever to get rid of thread that is nasty xx hope you see what i mean xx any way how are you ann well i hope xxx

Sorry i am lost here. I thought we were discussing 'teenage pregnacies'

In the days when I was an office manager in Westminster and had to "hire & fire" staff, I recall three instances where young girls, living with their parents, quit their jobs when they became pregnant. It transpired that becoming pregnant was a deliberate move to get a place of their own, away from the parental home and into a Council flat where they intended to live off benefits i.e let the rest of us support them. All three conceived whilst on holiday in Spain. There was no connection between any of these girls except that they all came from Council estates. Len

len 'tarred with the same brush' comes to mind!

len it happens all over the world weather working or not the only problem i had was the elaine said pulling strings when on benifits that is what i disagreed with xx i no . no matter where you live it happens no matter what there parents do, it happens and yes many do go to live in council houses but many dont ,,and it is a shame with all the warnings now that they do xx
