Safe and secure future for Hull's schoolgirl mums

“I go to this unit and I was 15 when I got pregant and 16 when I gave birth, my son is now 2 and a happy healthy little boy that I wouldn't change for the world. This unit has helped me gain around 15 GCSEs a 3 BTECS an NVQ and a level 3 teaching assitant qualifcation. It is a lot better than most of the mainstream schools and I wish all schools where as good as this one is!
On another note though, why comment on our lifes when you don't know us?
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!”

“So where are all the fathers of these children born to under-age girls, why are they all not locked up, after all sex with a minor is still a criminal offence in this country...”

“who is the one with a java script adding negatives? sort of removes the need for them when they are so easily manipulated.
as for the story, yeah kids shouldnt be having kids, but sh!t happens. shutting a school that actually makes some good come out of it wont help or stop it happening.”

“I know we should ignore the ridiculous amounts of red/green arrows but really - who has the time to click them that many times? And what are they trying to prove apart from the supporters of this unit are idiots?”

“The test will be in years to come to see if this helps break the cycle and the children of these pregnant teens are able to have time to grow up before they have children.”

“I don't see the problem here. It seems these girls, although motherhood has come early, are continuing their life in a decent responsible way, doing the best for both themselves and their children. They're not really getting anything more than they are entitled to: an education and benefits for their children which you'd get no matter what age you have birth. My previous employers had their own business and as a married couple were paying themselves around £1.7k a week, and they were still entitled to tax credits, as well as the child benefit.

Giving birth in the teens has been going on since life began. Some girls will get caught out and decide they want to keep their child and hopefully go on to lead productive lives, giving to society. What I'd like to clamp down on is the amount of young lads who should be out working and providing for the children they have fathered, but instead spend their days smoking pot and sponging off society.”

“-123456789! I didn't think it was THAT good.”

“It is illegal to have sex with someone under 16. If you are male and over 16 and you have sex with a girl under 16 that's illegal. It's however not illegal the other way round. Unfair but that's the law.

The police only use the law to prosecute those having sex with under 16's. They can't really do anything about two people both under 16 having sex.”

“It is unlawful to have sex below 16, I wonder how many of these get prosecuted.”

“The girls are far from mollycoddled at the unit-its a SCHOOL that teaches, its not there to make it an enjoyable experience, they have rules like all other schools.
Again people are talking about tax payers money-what about all the druggies, asylum seekers etc, i would much prefer my life following having a child as a teen, went to uni, got married, have a mortgage and yes shock horror pay taxes than be a druggy. Just remember were not all the same.

I find it rather funny how people presume that because we have had children young-we are little ****, ****** and are being told to keep your knickers on-it is not always the case!!!

I am proud to say i had my son when i did and never refer to him as a mistake because at the end of the day he is a normal child raised by loving caring parents, i would love to know what the
people who are negative do for a living and im pretty sure i either live a similair lifestyle to them or even better-no regrets at all!!!!! N”
