Young Mums Documentary - Sample Clip

We worked with a group of teenage mothers from Norfolk to produce this memorable documentary, which aimed to combat the stereotypes surrounding young mums and to tell the true story of their experiences trying to raise their children.

The young women involved, who had no previous experience of film-making, worked with our team to create an excellent documentary.

I applaud all mums and dads who are working and not living off benefit, for the rest of you well not worth writing about

age does not dictate how good your parenting skills are. I should know I first fell pregnant at 16 and now have a baby boy due in february. and things are working out perfectly...

goto facebook and type in "Young/Teen Mum Support" ... iits the one thing that every young person needs when going through pregnancy rather than all that negative bias crap you dont know the individual or their story you have no right to judge

I think if the young mum is doing it for the wrong reasons then it isn't right however I was 19 when i had our son, i am 21 now and have two business' and about to finish a degree. I am not living off benefits, my fiance has his own business too and we are happy and stable.. it really depends on the person x

I can't think of 1 positive aspect of a teen having a baby.

@valentineniamh if you're not ready to mother a child then you're not ready to have sex. 13 years old is stupidly, stupidly young, you should value yourself and your body more if you want any respect!

Hope you did the right thing.
