This is very disturbing, i feel. what chance do the children of these teenagers have of growing up with greater ambition?
The study, for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation suggested girls as young as 13 choose motherhood to be independent and to create "a loving family".

at least the figure is falling, but not fast enough, IMO.
