Young mum speaks out in attempt to tackle stigma against teenage parents

Talia Stimpson was just 14 when she fell pregnant and 15 when she had her daughter Lily.

The young mother admits that she was lucky because her family, partner and school were supportive but she said she was still too terrified to tell her mum and dad when she first realised she was pregnant, Wales Online writes.
