I'm sorry i have to disagree with you about it not being easy to a flat, or help with child care and financial help with that childs needs.
It has become to easy for them, i know many teenage girls my own daughters friends who have milked the situation i don't think it is a minority at all.
It seems the done thing these days.
These girls have multiple partners most of the time with little or no help from the fathers again and again these girls come another statistic.
They have free nursery places when the children are of age giving the mother help to return to work also something we never had in my days we had to pay for nursery care.
Yes i agree benefit is no substantial amount to live on and you are living on the poverty line as i have known to well, i care for my husband who has himself health problems so i know what that feels like.
No it's this continuing way of thinking by some of the young not all i know there are many out there who do not have this mindset.
But there is still this few be it a very large few who think they are owed something in this life before it has even began.

When a good night out drinking and money spent on cigarettes come first for these girls i have to wonder if the childs needs are put first in many cases it isn't.
