Quote Junkie – ‘I’m better off getting pregnant’

audiences3

Talking to young people in a London borough about effective sexual health interventions and their uptake of sexual health services revealed some telling economic, as well as social truths.

Why do I want to use that condom thing?  If I can get pregnant and have a baby I’ll be better off coz then I’ll get a free flat off the housing and more help finding a job than I get at the moment. I don’t get it, why are we talking about this stuff, I might as have a baby and get all that free stuff, right?

Working in some of the more socially deprived parts of the UK reveals some urban myths as not entirely false.

Sad, but true.

Don’t shoot the messenger…
