Sadly, of course, not every story of teenage pregnancy ends so positively.'Sex and Relationships' is available by mail order at £19.99 (01732 748664; ) A discount is available for schools. I would give it to all my children."Karlee's story, in fact, ends happily. With the support of her family, she got herself back on her feet, and now that Harry is at playschool she is back at college full-time, studying hairdressing and beauty therapy She will qualify next summer. I think something like this CD-Rom is long overdue; it's informative and basic, easy to understand. "When I was Karlee's age, my mum never even discussed periods with me," she says. "Even in modern families, people still have a problem with approaching the subject of sex.

"I wish I'd had something like this CD-Rom when I was at school; it's brilliant, fun as well as serious, and I know when I was 14 I'd rather have sat at a computer than looked at a book, or had my mum or teacher talking to me."Karlee's mother Julie Sleith, 38, got pregnant herself at the age of 15; she was pressured into having an abortion.

"What we say round here would be gibberish to someone from London or Nottingham.""It would be patronising to talk down to people like that," agreed Stephanie. "You can go straight to the bit you want and find out about what you don't know," said Marianna They appreciated the straightforward approach. And, she added, with a grimace, "You just don't like to think of your parents having sex!"Again, all the teenagers felt that the CD-Rom approach could be very useful. "Some parents simply wouldn't know about things like different types of contraception," said Marianna.
