What are the causes of Teen Pregnancy?
YouTube Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgOkO-rpZJs&t=27s
If you are pregnant, you have three options.
First, you can stay pregnant and become a parent, with or without the
support of the other parent.
Second, you can carry the pregnancy to term, and then give the baby up for
adoption.
Third, you can have an abortion, ending the pregnancy
No one should be able to make these choices for you.
Abortion
Parenthood is the leading reason that teen girls drop out of school. More than
50% of teen mothers never graduate from high school.
8 out of 10 teen dads don’t marry the mother of their child.
Your life will not be the same,
Not all teen parents mature (negligence)
Teen Pregnancy is not a failure, or a reason to give up on life goals. It’s a
bigger reason to accomplish them
