Shocking Sex Ed Video 'Sends Right Message'

[Jelakins]

An NHS trust has defended its decision to release a web video of a schoolgirl giving birth that is so shocking it has been banned by YouTube.


The deliberately grainy footage leads to a shocking climax



NHS Leicester said the footage of a schoolgirl having a baby on a playing field was designed to deliberately "shock" and "provoke" young people.

After the video was posted on a number of sites it was viewed by more than 70,000 people and attracted many complaints before being removed by YouTube.

The video is deliberately filmed to look like amateur mobile phone footage, although it ends with a slogan from the campaign to reduce the high rate of teenage pregnancy in the city.

Is this the right way to get teens thinking about the implications of early sex?
Was YouTube right to ban the film?
Did anyone see it?
What are your views on teenage pregnancy?

I can't blame YouTube (Google owns them) from yanking the footage, they don't want millions of uptight people to ban their kids from the site.

Teenage pregnancy...........Since I have two young daughters I don't wish to discuss the topic of young women getting pregnant until they are at least in their 30's.

Who was it designed to shock? I think thats where they fucked up. Its only succeeded in shocking adults, not its intended target. Teenagers will just love the shock factor. A typical example of stupid people getting it all wrong with teenagers, in my opinion. But what did Tiri think Anj?
