Teen pregnancy

Teen pregnancy occurs when a girl under 20 becomes pregnant, often as a result of unprotected sexual activity. It can impact the teen’s physical health, emotional well-being, education, and future opportunities. Factors influencing teen pregnancy include lack of comprehensive sex education, peer pressure, societal influences, and family circumstances. While some teens choose to continue with the pregnancy, others may face difficult decisions. Access to healthcare, contraception, and supportive resources can help prevent unintended pregnancies and assist teens in making informed choices about their reproductive health.
