Every Child Matters is a government strategy that many will be familiar with. The link I have provided demonstrates that the government will be funding £20.5 million to help teenagers get access to free contraception and raise awareness. This is all very well and good for those who do not want to get pregnant but still remain sexually active. However I feel that the government should do more to stop teenagers WANTING to become pregnant. They should teach about money management and the cost of living in PSHE from an early age so that a naïve girl may think twice before deciding that having a baby is an easy way to get out of doing her GCSEs.
