LOL I was LMAO over her (quite sad really) how the consultants kept straight faces i dont know!

but i liked it at the end where she kind of admitted that they were right - id love them to revisit some of these mums in a year to see wherr theyre at and how much theyve matured, id also like to see them cringe watching themselves on this programme!!

Not all teenage mums are like them, i hate these type of programmes that make them out to be.

Yes, but it's a series about the young people who - through excessive drinking, unprotected sex or obesity - create a drain on the NHS and other social resources.

Why would they show the ones that don't?

And not all the mums on the programme were portrayed negatively, other than having been irresponsible enough to get pregnant very young and without a stable relationship. We all did stupid things in our teens, it's just that some people's teenage mistakes have more serious and far-reaching consequences than others. The girl who had the water-birth seemed articulate and fairly bright and I couldn't see why she wouldn't be a good mum - but she was still a valid subject for the programme, as a teenage single mum.

Loopy Girl - I actually thought she was voicing the thoughts of a lot of NHS staff... I know a few docs and nurses and they are so fed up and demoralised by the lunatic behaviour of some patients, esp those who have been drinking and/or fighting. It's about time someone spoke up about it. It's not right, it's not fair and it's depriving others of vital resources. Just think what could be done if hospitals didn't have to treat violent drunks every weekend. And what is a 19-year-old doing on anti depressants! Seriously.

Umm maybe because they have an illness called Depression? I was on them at that age & have Bipolar Disorder, so should I have not been treated for being 19? So many people think Depression is impossible in rich & famous people, or young people when it's a damn illness & not something we CHOOSE! Things like this make me sooooooooo mad, so what if a 19yr old had Cancer or another serious illness, would you be saying that too?
