NHS schoolgirl giving birth video - your views?

I saw it on the news last week and i don't think it will change anything. I'm in school myself and still underage but if i was going to do it i would have unprotected sex regardless of the video. It's a shock tactic but i know that it would take much more then a girl giving birth in a field to scare teenagers into having unprotected sex.

But I'm sensible so I'm not having sex (Y) and if i do i certainly will be using something.

I am never sure about all these videos dreamt up by the NHS/public authorities for teenagers - I think they can be mild, or in your face and thinking back to my teenage years, even if I video was shocking the general attitude was to have a laugh at it.

Same with videos on smoking, drugs etc etc

No harm in trying to get the message across I suppose, but until there is a proper programme of sex education in schools (which is done well), probably started from a younger age then I think that the issue wont really be addressed.

I read the story earlier this week, I thought it was an excellent idea, these teenagers made the movie themselves & at first glance you can be mistaken that it is real.

At least the kids are doing something, whereas the Establishments' answer is bribing kids with free cinema tickets to take chlamydia tests & a pre-cancer jab for girls between 12 -14.

A " bolting the stable door " approach, long after the horse left the scene.

Well done to the teenagers for their shocking take on a growing UK problem.

If anyone wants to see the movie, which has been on & off YouTube since its release, see link below.

EDIT.

I do apologise they've removed it again!

Sorry.

In my opinion its a pathetic display of a government trying to explain in a most gruesome manner and by insulting the intelligence of those it is aimed at.

This kind of teaching should be left to the education authorities in school time, where perhaps the teachers can aim this subject at the most vulnerable in our society.

I for one do not want to see a video of this nature open to view for everyone, it has been done in bad taste and without real feelings of the subject

I've read the article but no, I don't think it would work.

Nothing ever does. Whatever you do, you're always going to get the bunch of stupid girls who sleep around. It's like smoking, the government has enforced bans, there are adverts showing how disgusting it is, there are photos on certain packets and we've still got people everyday taking up the habit.

Maybe if there was a way to duplicate the amount of pain associated with labor and birthing, and make all kids 12 and older experience it every year until they leave school, maybe that would deter the need to drop the drawers.

It makes the headlines for a few minutes but sadly it will not make any real difference to some girls attitudes to sex and to the boys who bully them in to unprotected sex.

where video at?
