Pregnant 14-year-old says it's 'fashionable' as four friends are also expecting

A pregnant 14-year-old has told how having a baby is now regarded as "fashionable" among schoolgirls.

Kizzy Neal has been asked to give advice to four of her classmates who have also fallen pregnant since Christmas.

The teen, from Torbay in Devon, said: "When my friends see my bump they say they wish they could have a baby, then three weeks later they're pregnant and don't know what to do.

"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.

"It seems to be fashionable to get pregnant."

oh my god. No being pregnant isn't "fashionable". Im sorry but to think that is just dumb... I can't believe this. If you are really ready for a baby or it happens by accident (broken condom..) thats one thing but to do it cause you want attention or cause "everybodys doing it" is just not right and unfair to the baby :(

I'm 14 and if I were to get pregnant it would be because I was READY not because my friends did it...
