Is that true in any way?

I should probably mention that the person I know this from has had a Welsh girlfriend for over two years. Maybe it's a Welsh thing, I'm not sure.
The first part yes, our teen pregnancy rates are sky high. Our youngest father was a 13 year old at the time. The other part...not really true in my experience, the parents tend to raise the kids as scummy chavs on council estates, with a lot of HELP from their parents but living on their own.
