I don't know about "cool", but if sociology text books are anything to go by, apparently it provides a source of love and a "meaning" to a girl's life, particularly if they are in poverty. Of course, looking after a kid can make poverty even worse, but maybe it's the emotional prospects that are most promising. I can't say I understand that, but I'm not in their situation.

It's different for all individuals and like Ceilidh says there's sometimes the prospects of benefits. The important thing to remember is that the situations on TV can't be generalised to all instances of teenage pregnancy; there are so many different factors to consider and we probably don't know the half of them.
