teenage pregnancy
Teenage pregnancy refers to when a girl aged 13 to 19 becomes pregnant. This can happen due to various reasons, including lack of access to education about sexual health and contraception. Teenage pregnancies can lead to challenges for both the young mother and her child, including health risks and socioeconomic difficulties.
The rates of teenage pregnancy vary by region and are influenced by factors such as cultural attitudes, education, and family support. Many organizations work to provide resources and support to prevent teenage pregnancies and help young parents navigate their new responsibilities.
