Dominant discourses: teen mums as deviant life course Children having children And I do think its time to address a problem that for too long has gone unspoken, the number of children having children. For it cannot be right, for a girl of sixteen, to get pregnant, be given the keys to a council flat and be left on her own. Gordon Brown 2009 children having children...we have become far too tolerant of social failure David Cameron 2007

Dominant Discourse: teen mums as deviant life course Myth of planned pregnancy Teen mums and the manipulation of the welfare system; Have a baby, get a council house Natasha its really boring and lonely just sitting by yourself in a room... I'd rather live with my mum

Teen Mums: The Reality After Motherhood Impact of becoming a mum Change in behaviour Relationships and lifestyle Mae He's made me look at life completely differently Elizabeth before I had her I was really rough, really mouthy, a horrible naughty Chav...since having the baby I've grown up a lot Libby i lost loads of friends...we just didn't have anything in common any more

Teen mums: resisting the dominant life course Sharon:I've finished my first year and have had a break in between years to have my baby and get on track. I'm going back to college in September to finish my hairdressing qualification. In 4 weeks time I'm going back to work at the Co-op and am starting on 16 hours a week. I'm really looking forward to going back. I don't want my baby thinking my mum is a bum. Elizabeth: They show mums neglecting their kids and not everyone would behave like that. It shows us all to be bad... I want to prove to people that just because I'm a mum doesn't mean I'm going to be a complete bum.

Policy implications Pre motherhood - Consistent approach to continuing learning for school aged teen mums Post motherhood - Tap into new found motivation by offering programmes of learning and training that provide adequate childcare - Prevention message stereotypes teen mums and undermines policy to support teen mothers
