Answer 1

• There are certain risk factors however that make some teens more likely to become pregnant than others.
• Teens who experience any of the following may be at a higher risk of teenage pregnancy:
• Drug and alcohol use
• Lack of knowledge about sex or contraception
• Poor parental supervision
• Limited communication between parents and teen
• Other factors include:-
• Impoverished teens have a higher chance of becoming pregnant than other teens. In states with a higher rate of children living in poverty, there is most likely a higher rate of pregnancy.
• Parents have a huge impact on the development of their children. Teens who have a strong attachment to their parents are less likely to become sexually active at a young age and therefore are less likely to become teen mothers or fathers. In the absence of a parent, the teen can’t get accurate information and may go to their friends and peers where inaccurate information abounds.
• Peer pressure is a real threat to teens – boys and girls alike. The pressure to fit in and to be popular are felt by teens across the nation.
• A study conducted by The American Health Association found that approximately 75 percent of girls say they felt pressure to have sex and did it because their boyfriend wanted them to.
• Of that group, almost all of them regretted doing so, regardless of whether or not the sexual activity resulted in pregnancy. Once teens are having sex, they might be too embarrassed to communicate with their partner or ask their partner to use contraception or to stop completely. When teens have sex very young, they aren’t always emotionally mature enough to handle those of conversations.
• When any woman becomes pregnant, she is faced with an overwhelming number of new health and wellness concerns she didn’t have before. Her own health and the care of her baby can be overwhelming. For a pregnant teen, finding the resources she needs can be an even more daunting task.
