Teenage girls living in deprived areas are four times more likely to fall pregnant than those living in more affluent areas, official data shows

A quick drive round any council estate will tell anyone this fact

Teenage pregnancy is a complex social issue requiring long-term strategic solutions.

Using condoms or not shagging don't seem particularly difficult solutions to me.

A lass in my class at school was pregnant at 12, but no other from my year got pregnant during the rest of school. I think she was a lesson to us all!

Hardly any of my mates have kids even now come to think of it

Do you know where these areas are and how I can get there from Surrey.

Try your luck in Feltham.

Failing that, Slough, Staines, Sunbury Cross or Pooley Green.

I used to work in Wynthenshaw, it was crawling with teen age mums, heading out for some sandwiches at lunchtime, only a 5 minute walk, but you'd see them hanging round the phone boxes chatting away, smoking with the prams to one side

If you want to get an easy shag, then I propose Fridays nightclub, Northenden or the nightclub at the lansdowne hotel in Fallowfield.
Watch out for the men folk though, dangerous bunch

dirty chavs - see it as a way to get up the housing ladder

problem is its the babies who suffer as often they teenager is already part of the poverty trap - which they cannot get out of because the parents do not work and therefore do not encourage their kids to work - to the point where one of your daughters getting pregnant can be seen as an income stream

therefore babies grow up with same moral values (e.g. non) and cycle continues

however I have seen around where I live the young teen mums giving their parents hell because they are so bone idle and do not help teen mum even when teen mum is trying to get job/childcare etc

Sounds like Harlow, except they are smoking crack
