Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ads: Too Harsh?! by SisiKill1: 11:19pm On Mar 07, 2013 |
These New ADs for the prevention of Teen Pregnancy is causing quite a stir, some people think they are too harsh because they shame teenagers who are already parents. Defenders say they aren't worried about the already TEEN PARENTS, they are worried about the WOULD BE TEEN PARENTS...their thinking is the end justifies the means. If it's gonna make teenagers think twice about sex, then bring it on. ARGUMENT AGAINST AD - The latest ad campaign creates stigma, hostility and negative public opinions about teen pregnancy and parenthood rather than offering alternative aspirations for young people,” ARGUMENT FOR AD - This campaign makes very clear to young people that there’s a lot at stake when it comes to deciding to raise a child,” What do you guys think?

It is an epidemic. I see parents and people are beginning to get tired of the burden on society. . These kids have too much freedom. The more teenagers having kids, the more the trend will continue. Like these dumbos:

Do they think it's like having dolls?!!! |

Sisi_Kill: Babies are cute, and the state will pay for them. Why shouldn't they? I bet a devilish child fantasized about it and made the followers get in on the pact. You can imagine the confusion, and most parents will be too busy dealing with their own that to laugh at another kid. The kid will say, afterall Jane is pregnant too 1 Like |

baby_123: Don't they give them those assignments. ...With the dolls they take home and care for...for like 7 days or so anymore? Gosh I remember years ago my friend's sister got one I swear to God, I was ready to go get my tubes tied because the prospect of having a baby was just bleh. What made it really weird was I grew up around babies what with my siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles popping them out like there was no tomorrow, so babies weren't new to me but I guess because this girl was closer to my age and we kinda hung out together we had to deal with her "baby".....Jeeedus! It was a pain!! She wanted to do stuff with us but she couldn't leave her doll because it had some kinda sensor that registered something or the other at school. This yeye doll would just start crying for no damn reason....if it were a real baby, you could at least do human stuff to calm it down, not this doll oh. It kept it going and going and going....suffice to say, it wasn't a pleasant experience and if I, who wasn't really in charge of the doll, could be that turned off....one can only impact it will have on the teenagers. I hope they haven't stopped and if they have they should reinstate it abeg. 1 Like |

When i was a teen i used to think of what was ahead of me and i was very much aware of how emotionally and financially expensive it is to raise a child plus i was so conscious of my curvy look and flat tummy that i didnt want to loose it so soon,more so i had fantasies of fairy tale weddings,bridal shower,baby shower and being a graduate so all those dreams made me loose interest for sex,i only hanged out with boys that were intrested in books and not sex then,thank God it payed off,at least i have achieved quarter of my dreams but it beats me the way teens of this generation think,they are so loose and place so much priority on sex and parties than their future infact i remember when i was a corper some 5 years back,i was in a tailors shop waiting for her to finish up with my clothes and i was shocked to my bones when some secondary school girls between 12-15 were openly discussing and arguing at the top of their voices about the pornography movie they watches and this little girls were arguing about how their boyfriends can have s3x with them like the man in the porn movie,the other girl said her boyfriends d1ck is bigger than her friends boyfriends own and all those kind of stewpeed jist,that was when i knew that teen pregnancy will be increasing and its not even an embarassment,i doubt whether it can be curbed or reduced even with all the s3x education this kids have acess to 2 Likes |

In England, the more children you have as a single teen mother, the better for you. Free crib, free cash, free healthcare, free dental, free education, free cash, free cash, and of course free cash... As a girl, your own na to dey jolly dey go, Iya Charlie go pay....

The ads are not harsh. Some people need it to be drilled into their dense heads. What is harsh is raising kids as a single parent. |
Re: Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ads: Too Harsh?! by Fhemmmy: 2:43pm On Mar 08, 2013 |
Beautiful . . . But some Teenage parents could use this as a tool to make them wanna succeed as well, it is all about WILL POWER and determination |
Re: Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ads: Too Harsh?! by Kx: 2:56pm On Mar 08, 2013 |
Even if the issue of teenage parenthood is a universal one, d ads in question are more american than Nigerian. Since the forum is nairaland not dollarland, why don't u post naija ads on d subject for a more robust and constructive discourse? |
Re: Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ads: Too Harsh?! by freecocoa(f): 3:05pm On Mar 08, 2013 |
The ADs are so on point if you ask me, nothing harsh about it at all. |
Re: Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ads: Too Harsh?! by SisiKill1: 3:10pm On Mar 08, 2013 |
Kx: Even if the issue of teenage parenthood is a universal one, d ads in question are more american than Nigerian.Hehehehehehehe. . .as my little niece would say, you made a funny. . On one hand you agree that the issue of teenage pregnancy is universal and then go on to say the ad aren't robust enough for constructive discourse. Except you can show us Teenage parents in Naija swim in bucket load of money, their partners in crime stick with them to the very end, their kids aren't somewhat affected by their parents teen status when they were born. ..in short show us evidence that the Nigerian Teenage parent experiences something opposite to what those ads depict then and only then can we conclude the ads are robust enough for constructive discourse. Or is it the perfect English they are written in that turns you off? Would you rather they were written in pidgin and the kids used be. . . Nigerians? Would that make it better to deal with since by your admission the issue of teenager pregnancy IS universal therefore the message being passed is also universal. 2 Likes |

There needs to be more education and conversation about the issue. Ignoring it won't help. There are too many lives at stake. |
Re: Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ads: Too Harsh?! by huninaija(f): 3:44pm On Mar 08, 2013 |
Teenagers in the west especially the UK and US which have the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in the world respectively, give their youths too much freedom to do what they want. Its gotten so bad over here that the government has contemplated severally whether to start handing out condoms in primary schools? Can you imagine? That's how bad it is and its tax payers money they are using to fund all this useless sex education, which indirectly teaches kids indecency... I remember vividly the last year of primary school all the students have to watch grown adults having sex as part of their sex education, will this not make it worse, and make them want to explore it even more? The government over here are totally useless and its encouraged through the media all the time.. Infact the ad's are too lenient for my liking, over here its a "fashion" statement to have a child as young as 16. More needs to be done to enlighten the youth... |

Fhemmmy: Beautiful . . . But some Teenage parents could use this as a tool to make them wanna succeed as well, it is all about WILL POWER and determination That's just wishful thinking. Chances are that people who acted foolishly in the first instance will hardly see these adverts as inspiration for success. |
