Having a baby is a fashion statement? WTF? Sorry, but right now (for personal reasons) this statement pisses me off!
Where were the parents in all this. I can tell you, I was too scared of my mom to even THINK about getting knocked up as a teen.

Chavs+Daily Mail=WTF. Bad sources all around. Besides, having a baby is a requirement of being a female chav. That and the burberry hat.

Pregnancy before menstration.
As much as I ususally loathe .org medical info sites, this one talks about getting pregnant before menstration, which is possible, also.

"It seems to be fashionable to get pregnant. ... Teenage girls think babies are cute, but they forget the physical side of being pregnant, then having to give up your own childhood to look after a baby," she told the paper.

Ummm, yeah they also forget children cost money and they need 2 WORKING parents.

As a child of a single mother, I'm just going to ignore the "need 2 working parents" comment or else I might blow up.
As far as little girls getting pregnant, ( http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/medina.asp), the youngest mother ever recorded was a 5-year-old Peruvian girl.

I didn't mean that as a slight to single parents. In this society, life is designed to be easier for a two parent family.

I agree, having been raised in a single parent home myself...why intentionally put your self in that position!!
And as far as this being considered the new FASHION among teens, I will reserve my comments on that all together!!

You don't have to blow up. Such comments aren't personal. They are societal and based on generalizations. Particularly when we look at the connection between over 50% single parenthood in a certain community and the disproportionately high rates of poverty in these communities (based on the feminization of poverty and the fact that the largest percentage of people in poverty are children).
If your family doesn't fit the generalization, good for your family but that doesn't negate the millions of families that it does pertain to.
