I haven’t got any expertise to offer, as do the health professionals who
want to improve teenage mental wellbeing (We need to get better at looking
after young people, A9, May 23), but I’ve got some common sense.
What needs discussing in reference to safety from abuse, social exclusion
and bullying is girls abused by their boyfriends’ casual attitude to sex in
getting them pregnant and then taking off, girls denied a normal, carefree
teenage lifestyle by pregnancy and childbirth, and girls who are bullied by
parents or boyfriends into abortion.
