Teenage pregnancy is very dangerous for the teen and the child. There are a lot more risks involved during a pregnancy. For example a teenage mother's child is more pron to having a lower birth weight than other children who have and older mother. Also the teenage mother usually has less patience's than other older mothers. This can cause the teenage mother to become frustrated quicker and abuse their child. Teenage pregnancy is not a good situation for anyone because of the risks involved.

While teenage pregnancy may have many bad outcomes, I've seen good ones. Someone in my family got pregnant her senior year. She still managed to graduate and go to college. Her child is the light of her life, and she's a fantastic mother.
ReplyDeleteWhile many teens may turn out to be bad moms, it is very stereotypical to think that they all are.
