A new generation of mothers

Article Abstract:

The UK has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies of any European country. This rate continues to rise, having increased by 11% in 1998. The government has repeatedly failed to take action on this issue, even though it is clearly a serious social problem. It is clear that an authoritarian approach will not be effective, and that great imagination is required if young people are to be made aware that having a child at a very young age is not desirable. It is important to realize that teenage girls often actively want to have a baby because the alternatives, such as low-paid employment, are so unattractive.

Some young Bangladeshis have become proud of their culture, and are seeking to present it to a wider audience. In particular, Bangladeshis are having a significant impact on eating habits in the UK, with 95% of all 'Indian' restaurants actually being run by Bangladeshis.

This nation is sexually immature

Article Abstract:

The apparent obsession with public portrayals of sex in the UK could be a sign of sexual immaturity and insecurity, rather than of sexual freedom. Young people have come to regard sex as a commodity they need to have, and this fuels the high level of teenage pregnancies.
