Quite large gorillas in the wild are at most 550 pounds; so an 800 pound gorilla is one that's oversized, even fat.
Abstract. Objectives To determine the impact on teenage pregnancy of interventions that address the social disadvantage associated with early parenthood and to assess the appropriateness of such interventions for young people in the United Kingdom.
In fact, the authors point out that other research has shown that poor girls who have babies when they are teenagers do not suffer much worse economic outcomes in the long term than their peers who wait to have children. Teenage childbearing is âa symptom, not a causeâ of poverty and economic immobility, Mr. Levine said in an interview. Policy prescriptions, he said, should focus more on improving economic opportunities than merely persuading more teenagers to use birth control.
