Gary Pendleton I think the intention was always to raise awareness and to help people with similar situations. Faye gave birth but the baby lives with its paternal grandparents. Sarah-Lou kept and raised Bethany on her own. Amy was thinking about abortion. There are many teens across the world who will end up pregnant - especially in Britain so I think these kind of programs are trying to represent different circumstances that people deal with. I think nowadays though it’s becoming more of a shock factor or just lazy story writing
Gary Pendleton the thing is about teen pregnancy is that it’s rarely intended. Most teenagers are having sex and nobody talks about it and it’s not seen in such a negative way. However, if a condom was to break its seen as scandalous and shameful. I agree that they are giving it positive attention but I don’t believe teen parents should be made to feel ashamed. I think they [writers] should perhaps produce storylines focused on a teenaged girl asking her mum to go on the pill rather than pretending that teenagers don’t have sex at all. That would hopefully speak to the audience and offer them alternatives and a more guaranteed option for birth control. What are your thoughts?
Back in the day The Purple One got alot of Flack on US Soil because they felt it promoted Homosexuality. Ridiculous but I feel that when it came to Children's Programming The US was more conservative.
But legally a 13-year-old is still supposed to be living in the family home, or else cared for by someone at least over 21. It would therefore be classed as criminal neglect to turn them out onto the streets.
This brings back memories! I was 7 when this aired and even though I didn’t watch Corrie, I remember randomly watching this episode and it absolutely terrified me to my core 😂 I didn’t know how babies were made at the time! I thought that a girl could randomly get pregnant at any time and that you didn’t have a choice! So poor little me was terrified that I would also get pregnant at a young age! 😂
Aww, poor baby! On emmerdale, so many girls get pregnant, but they don't really see them struggle. Gabby gets pregnant for Jamie Tate and she's pretty much on Easy Street.
If you travel back in time 100 years most 13-year-olds at that time would have had virtually no knowledge of sexual intercourse. There was no sex education in schools, etc. I read some article in a newspaper supplement where older people gave accounts of their lives and one of them said she never even knew the difference between boys' and girls' genitalia until she bathed a baby boy at 16. I suppose it could be argued by some that telling children about the facts of life does not actually protect them against unwanted pregnancies as it may make them more likely to engage in underage sex. But, then again, you could argue that in the nineteenth century the age of consent was only 13 anyway. Bit of a difficult subject really.
@Papa Lazarou everything about lefties and marxism isnt it? so now im blaming tory for increase underage pregnancy still to this day. now fuck off you tory clown
@@cheekydevil69ER His criticism of Marxism does not necessarily mean he's a Tory. Anyway, Marxism has now been replaced by Cultural Marxism, and even the Tories are promoting that now.
My mum would have loved and supported me where as Dad would have killed me! But mam would have had a chat with dad and pull him round and in the end I'd have the love and support needed. We were a close knit family, strong bond regardless and I miss them terribly xx
Sarah was 14 when this happened. We stay ignorant even though 14 year olds now dress and act 19. Sex will become the norm at 14 and they need to be educated
Teenage pregnancy in most countries in Western Europe and most US states is dramatically lower than it was in the 90s if you do research, young people of today are far more educated and mature than back then
Soaps if you think about it are so unrealistic. By their standards everyone in the same Street/Square/Village whatever your pref, would have slept with each other all had affairs with the others wives/husband's neighbour's, all be related in some weird sicko incestuous way, all have committed murder, all have gone to prison for the heinous of crimes, and be out within a few measly months just in time for somebody's big wedding or 70th bash. Been involved in some money laundering scheme or bank heist, drink every day in the same pub, even morning afternoon and night. Eat in the same caf, morning noon and night, work not 5 minutes from their house, not travel further than the end of their road when they split up with someone and fall into bed with the next person, work at the same profession all their life. Drive a different car every other week, all have huge Christams bashes where you invite your worst sworn enemy's only to be shocked and surprised when it all kicks off in your face, have Christmas in a pub, never go away on holiday abroad only ever in UK..always say their skint but walk into a pub order a pint or drink then leave it on the bar and leave. Always be seen out and never seem to be with their kids even when they have like 5! And the worst one of the bloody lot! Somehow they fit 10 people in one poxy house with a dog , cat rabbit a stuffed parrot and the bloody goldfish 😆. Yeah right!!!
1:51.if she wasn't anorexic then she probably will be after that comment also kind of sucks that people think you have to be underweight to be anorexic and you don't like literally even if you're not eating for a different reason than your weight it's still considered anorexic... if I was the doctor I wouldn't unless they could handle it and werent a child
"will somebody tell us what's going on?" Gail. Really? She is the only doctor in the room and yet you say 'somebody' and 'tell US' meaning that you weren't expecting sarah lou to say anything.
@@matthewgoodwin9032 don't fucking lecture me on how the northerners talk mate. I've lived here for over 5 years and not once have I heard anyone say "tell US what's going on" when referring to oneself.
This was heavier than when Spike got Pregnant on Degrassi. You never really saw how she struggled with Emma back in the Day but in 2000 she discovered the Dangers of having an Online Penpal. That was so controversial but I hope it helped Young Girls not to trust anyone especially Online.

This was such a big storyline when it came out! The whole point of it was that once was enough and that it could happen to absolutely anybody
Doctor : it is because she is pregnant
Gail : shocked pikachu face
Now it’s Amy who’s pregnant under age

I don't know why this keeps ending up in my recommended
In those days skipping meals was having an eating disorder, these days it’s called intermittent fasting.
you wouldn't get that long in our Doctors .. lol
I do lol
Debbie McCarthy so true
My mum would kill me if she found out that I was pregnant
Same here! My whole family would POUNCE on me! 😰😓
Same
Ellie K if you're daughter is pregnant, you would support her because you love her.
Ellie K same here especially as teenager I had my first @24and my mum still thought I was too young
Elaine Hanly l was never allowed to have a boyfriend.
My mum wouldn't allow me to go near boys.
3:44 Gail's getting angry 😂😂
Paul Seager99 ik 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my god I remember this scene airing for the first time and everyone in school chatting about it. Old school Corrie dramas 😂
Oh my god Gails hair!!
Lina xVixx it's fabulous!
I know right!Her hair was really nice.Why did she cut it?She looks ugly with that short pixie cut she did
I always thought that hair made her look like an onion
Yeah
😂😂😂😭
Sara's pregnant and Gail's having kittens.
Graham Black loool
Lol
I was 2 days old when this aired 😂
CloChloex i was born a year later after this
CloChloex l was born 5 and a bit year
CloChloex I wasn’t even alive 😂
I was 2 YEARS old when this was aired!
+Laura Dixon I was born over 4 years later!
I remember watching this with my family at 13 and absolutely dying 😳😳😳😳
look at Gail's face at the end😳
Why does it look like it's filmed in the 80's. I don't remember it being so bad
Vhs probably got chewwed
I would of been homeless after my mom found that
But legally a 13-year-old is still supposed to be living in the family home, or else cared for by someone at least over 21. It would therefore be classed as criminal neglect to turn them out onto the streets.
Philip Dalton oh my gosh people like you make me laugh sm😂
Why?
Hahaha
Philip Dalton because you take everything so seriously 😂
This was 21 years ago. Let that sink in
I wasn’t even born when this came out x
The name Sarah-Lou reminds me of the grinch 😂
She said Reminds
Gail's chin hit the floor
Her mum looks exactly the same wtf
She's still got youth on her side. She hasn't aged the lucky devil
My mom does not kill me but she would be very disappointed in me
Sameee
mum alway end up soft spot for theirs daughters but father? no chance

What kind of physical examination that a GP can do can diagnose pregnancy? You at least need a urine screen or blood test...
At 5 months gone a simple feel of the abdomen
They did those tests I think
My gp knew how far I was at 6 weeks by simply feeling my stomach
Abdomen, boobs swell ankles swell
I know this is late but... almost as soon as you become pregnant you’re stomach gets harder in order to protect the baby from miscarriage
I remember this. Because of this story line, teenage pregnancy was discussed at the House of Commons.
And two seconds after the clip finished, she had a good old crack round the earole
Sarah is 13 in this whereas her actress Tina was actually 17.
I'm 13 and if my found out I was pregnant then my mom would kill me☹️
My oldest sister fell pregnant my nephew is coming 29 this year, my mother was expecting me the same time my sister was expecting

Life expectancy much shorter back then, 13 was probably like 20 now.

thanks for your support xxx♡
That GP sounds like my old food teacher😂
ee god i remember watching this episode like it was yesterday!! i was only about 11 i remember watching this
I was 11 during bethany s grooming story line
I remember being some young age and after seeing this episode I also wanted to have a baby 😂
Becky Scott same!!!
I'd have thought the mother would have been relieved that her daughter wasn't seriously ill.
20 Years Today !
Okay but why is this in my recommended?
Hello! So I'm guessing you don't watch Coronation Street? Not tryna be mean but I'm just wondering? If you don't I'd recommend you do! 😊
This is the storyline that got me watching corrie when I was 10. I never watched it before this episode.
@Gary Pendleton not normalizing teenage pregnancIES, raising awareness to them as no one was very aware about it in 2000, that's for sure.
Sarah has not changed and Gail has not changed
Oh the nostalgia 😂
3:41 Gail’s face 😂😂😂
i wish doctor appointments were actually like this.
I wasn’t born when this aired
Sarah was 14 when this happened. We stay ignorant even though 14 year olds now dress and act 19. Sex will become the norm at 14 and they need to be educated
She was 12 and had Bethany at 13
Roisin Dubh has she was 13
Teenage pregnancy in most countries in Western Europe and most US states is dramatically lower than it was in the 90s if you do research, young people of today are far more educated and mature than back then
Roisin Dubh and what would be the problem if sex at 14 was normal, given they have proper education about contraception?
amyyyamy 14 year olds bodies arent as ready to carry children
This was exactly one year before I was born
I HopE youRe lIstenIng to ThIs
Omg look at Gail's hair!
OMG! I was 32 when this aired! Hahaha
Lol I was nearly 2 months old when this aired!
I only noticed the telli-tubbies poster behind the screen
Gail at 3:33 had me in stitches
imagine getting longer than 5 mins for a gp appointment
Imagine finding out that your pregnant at her age 😱😱
I was born around 7 months after this
I remember watching this when it aired. I was 6. Crazy.
@@Boilingfrogg erm yeah I do remember..doesn’t mean I understood the storyline but I absolutely do remember it.

Yeah they always saw they are skink then spend all their money in the pub
In other words, they only ever date and procreate with their local neighbours. It's a sure-fire recipe for long-term in-breeding.
1:51.if she wasn't anorexic then she probably will be after that comment also kind of sucks that people think you have to be underweight to be anorexic and you don't like literally even if you're not eating for a different reason than your weight it's still considered anorexic... if I was the doctor I wouldn't unless they could handle it and werent a child
why 2018 I think she meant in terms of her dieting but she was checking her weight so i can see how that could come across
Too much on Royal s.
This was aired 7 years before I was born 😅
