One girl was 14? Whilst not the norm for a 14 year old girl in the UK, 14/15 year old mothers isn't at all unusual. I did my health visitor module of nurse training in Isleworth, west London and rarely saw any two parent families. As a nurse prescriber I was obliged to give the morning after pill and condoms to girls from 12 years upwards without question. That doesn't work any more than the collosal amount of sex education given to this agegroup so what next? Punishment should not be an option in this day and age in any civilised society. What then can be done? I don't know the answer to that.
By the way, although I too find many things wrong with it, not everything about the UK is awful. Freedom and equality are their greatest strength. Blooming expensive and miserable weather are not so good though...
