But for some sexually active teens, parenthood arises far earlier than expected.
In the last few decades, the number of births to teenage parents has declined significantly. According to Family Planning Queensland, in 1971, the average Australian birth rate of mothers aged 15–19 was 55.5 per 1000. This dropped to 16.3 per 1000 in 2004. Because the overall numbers of teen parents are dropping, it is increasingly shocking and ‘socially unacceptable’ for a teenager to fall pregnant.

Thanks so much for reaching out to me... and welcome! It makes such a difference in my day when I see that people are responsive to me and my music. So turn it up and have a terrific day!

I'm currently working on a video for actnow and need some help =) The video is going to be put on the multimedia section of www.actnow.com.au and uploaded onto youtube too. It's about encouraging young people to become active in the community (an inspiring video...). I'm looking for awesome photos of young australians doing good things in society (and having a good time!), which will be flashed during the video.
If you (or anyone reading this!) had any cool pics that you wouldn't mind me using, could you send them to me? (lex.lee87@gmail.com), I'll appreciate it so so much =)!
