Actions have Consequences
Many teenage pregnancies come about because young girls are deluded by the thought of turning their baby doll fantasies into reality. The education system is not doing enough to educate young people about contraception and the truth about what it’s really like to bring up a child at a young age.
This project is designed to make young people think about taking precautions before they start having sex and to stress the difference between wanting a baby and the realness of actually having one, I showed this contrast by putting a toy baby in to real situations.
