My Response!

I found that this article was helpful because it makes a lot of sense that teens that drink are more likely to end up pregnant. It just goes to show you that one night of partying can lead to a lifetime of mistakes.

My Notes!

- a small rise in teenage pregnancy may be linked to binge drinking



- young people are twice as likely to make unwise decisions while drunk



- Alcohol is associated with having sex at a young age


-in 2007 the number of teenage pregnancies had started to increase after years of decline


-Ministers plan to crack down on illegal sales and drinking in public by making it an offence for young people to "persistently possess alcohol".
