Following three young fathers in Sunderland, this programme looks at what is being done to help teenage fathers, often ignored in the issue of teenage pregnancy.
An almost invisible group, they are often regarded as irresponsible young men who leave their teenage girlfriends holding the baby.
Here the three teenage fathers share their stories in a bid to shed light on what their lives are like, and how reliable support can have a profound impact on them, their children and their families.
This programme is designed for use in the classroom.
