Photograph by Jude Edginton.
David, 31 years-old from Acton in London was 15 when his girlfriend first got pregnant. She lost the baby after having a miscarriage at three months, but when she got pregnant again at 18, they were adjusted to the idea and ready to start a family. However, after having a one-night stand, David got another woman pregnant, and had two daughters born within six months of each other. "It's experience that makes you a man, not your age, " David told Jude. Now a single parent to his two girls and another son, David, an outreach worker and mentor to other young fathers, feels like it has turned his life around.
