Someone says, such ads are annoying. Someone else says, excellent. However, health experts in the city of Chicago believe that through this advertisement, teenagers will be encouraged to practice safe sex.
Brian Richardson, a spokesman for the Chicago Department of Health, told the news outlet, "We wanted to create an ad that spoke to the public about teenage pregnancy and teenage childbearing. Daughters of teenage mothers who give birth to daughters may also become teenage mothers. Jail may be the future destination for sons of teenage mothers.
However, no matter how much discussion-criticism there is about the ad - one thing is clear and that is, it must be educating the public, especially the teenagers. Which everyone should be aware of. Source: Internet.
