Teenage pregnancy is pregnancy in human females under the age of 20 at the time that the pregnancy ends. A pregnancy can take place after the start of the puberty before first menstrual period, but usually occurs after the onset of periods. In wellnourished girls, menarche usually takes place around the age of 12 or 13.

Teenage pregnancies appear to be preventable by comprehensive sex education and access to birth control.

Abstinence-only sex education does not appear to be effective.

CAUSE AND
EFFECT OF
TEENAGE
PREGNANCY

CAUSE
In some societies, early marriage and traditional gender roles are important factors in the rate of teenage pregnancy.
For example, in some sub-Saharan
African countries, early pregnancy is often seen as a blessing because it is proof of the young woman's fertility.[40] The average marriage age differs by country, and countries where teenage marriages are common experience higher levels of teenage pregnancies. In the Indian subcontinent, early marriage and pregnancy is more common in traditional rural communities than cities. EFFECTS

Effects of teen pregnancies on the children involved. These children are far more likely to grow up in poverty, to have more health problems, to suffer from higher rates of abuse and neglect, to fail in school, to become teen mothers, to commit delinquent acts and adult crimes, and to incur failed adult marriages and other relationships. The burdens of early childbearing on disadvantaged teens are undeniable. Trying to untangle the factors which contribute to teenage pregnancy from its effects, however, leads to a
"which came first, the chicken or the egg?" dilemma. Educational failure, poverty, unemployment and low self-esteem are understood to be negative outcomes of early childbearing. These circumstances also contribute to the likelihood of teen pregnancy.
