Abortion was the fad at my middle school and teen clique pregnancies (girls in the same crew planning their pregnancies at the same time) were the fad at my high school. We're talking '88-'95 so nothing here is new or shocking.
The article is from London so this may be something new for them. As someone stated, teen pregnancy is no longer the "epidemic" that it once was in the U.S.
Also, it's "new" when people start talking about middle class whites and not the lower class whites, blacks, and Hispanics that people "expect" this type of thing from.
