Can a teen Mum ever be a good Mum?

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ1 Inside Out last night had an interesting reports about teen Mums, one man who was asked what he thought said they only have a baby to get a council house. Is he right? Is that what you think?

What happened when you got pregnant as a teenager? Did you keep the baby - were you a good Mum - were you judged all the time?

Did your teenage daughter come home and tell you she was pregnant? How did you react - did you want her to have a termination or keep the baby? Is it always best to keep the baby?

We speak to a Kent teen Mum - she will tell us what it is like to feel all eyes are on you. We will also hear from the University expert who says the children of teen Mums are in no way disadvantaged. Do you agree?

Also, does it matter where a dog comes from?

We heard on breakfast with Clare and John this morning that Kent is being used as the gateway for an illegal trade in puppies. The young dogs are brought through Dover before being sold on.

It got us thinking about our love of dogs and how important it is to know where they come from. Did you go for a breeder or to a rescue centre? Is it just a snobbery thing or is the ancestry of dog important?

We speak to Ryan O'Meara the Editor-in-Chief of K9 Magazine, a professional dog trainer and runs DOGSBLOG.com

We hear your views and stories.
