teen mum mentoring?

Mummy2Asher · Mar 18th, 2010, 07:31 AM

i used to do teen mum mentoring in schools when ash was a baby, and also talk to classes about the daily life of being a single mum.
ive been thinking about doing it again but dont know whether it really helps?
i got great bonds with some lovely girls but does it really help?
would it help u if u were at school?
do you think talking to school classes actualy makes a difference becuase so many teens get pregnant, i did! i dont know whether i would listen or not?
anyway opinions would be great thanks!

I think it would help, even if you only stopped one girl having unprotected sex it's a win right? Plus you're protecting them from stis too by promoting safe sex

I think it could help from 2 points, it may make girls take responsibility and use protection, it may also make them think twice about having an abortion, I think it's a really good idea!

Oooo yes good point about making them think twice about abortion, I hadn't thought of that
