Teenage mothers are more likely to suffer toxaemia, anemia, birth complications, and death.
A teenage girl living within parents may find it more difficult to cope within pregnancy because of the guilt of having let her parents down.
Teenage babies are more likely to have low birth weight and suffer birth injury and neurological defects.
It's high time parents be their children's parents first before becoming their friends. It reduces teenage pregnancy.
The consequence of an unplanned indulgence puts teenage pregnant mothers at risks socially, psychologically and economically.
Most families don’t support d idea of teenage pregnancy & instead of supporting the child,end up throwing unfriendly remarks,STOP IT.
Other causes of teen pregnancy are exposure to electronic gadgets, peer pressure, curiosity.Parents what are your teens watching?
Because of parental/family hostility, the pregnant teenager looks for ways to terminate her life or the life of the child.
Parents stop the hostility towards your teen's pregnancy. This helps to reduce maternal and child mortality.
When a pregnant teenager is stuck within a hostile environment, she would begin to feel a blow at her self-esteem.
To escape from a hostile environment or be oblivious to its existence, the teenager finds solace in substance abuse. Another issue.
With the stigma regarding teenage pregnancy in sum societies, pregnant teens may deal with feelings shame and anger.
