The Talking Point

Complexities around teenage pregnancies


Listen Later

Over the years we’ve been having discussing the on-going problem of teenage pregnancy in the country. The ages are getting younger and younger with many people pointing the finger at older men for sleeping with these children resulting in statutory rape. But then on the other hand there’s also young children experimenting with each other. Calls are also being made for medical staff to be held responsible for not reporting these births. Parents also don’t know any more as they also claim to do the best they can to raise their children well. Sex education is another issue raised with schools being blamed.
