Internet blamed for Shanghai teen pregnancies

[rakib]

Nearly half of the pregnant teens in China's financial hub, Shanghai, met their partners on the Internet, state media said on Tuesday.

Zhang Zhengrong, a doctor who oversees the city's first-aid hotline for pregnant teens, said 46 percent of the more than 20,000 teenage girls who called the hotline over the past two years said they had had sex with boys they met on the Internet.

It's the first time I am hearing news like this - thanks for the info

Do you think the Internet is to blame? I don't, i think it's the users who are to blame.

Internet is being blamed for all sorts of things, i can imagine it contributing to some extent

I agree but the users need to use their brains before making these moves.

Better to blame internet than me. I might be going there again in September. I stopped in Shanghai and I reckon girls in Northern China are better looking. You might be hearing about increase of pregnancies in Xi'an around in October
