in my life experiance i have not come across one parent who would even imagine their teenager being pregnant.
its a fact of life the majority of parents would be attacking their kids aggressively telling them and putting them in a harmful situation such as verbal and possibly physical punshment for their sins.
im afraid your point carries too many iffs or buts, ima aperson who likes to play it safe.
so this is why i back the governments decision to allow under 16 year olds the oppertunity to not tell their parents, why do you think they are fearful, they know/think the parents possible reaction.
this would be detremental to both the youngster and the foetus.
if support and advice is excellently maintained then they should push ahead with this.
