Teenage pregnancy is highest in the United States at
the rate of 45 cases out of 1000 births or 750,000
teen pregnancies a year. Teens as young as 13 are
already sexually active.
Each Year, Half a Million Teens Give Birth
In 1996, just over one-half of teen pregnancies to girls aged
15-19 ended in birth, about one-third ended in abortion,
and 14 percent ended in miscarriage.

Teenage pregnancy (2)
Thailand has the second highest rate of teen pregnancy at
120,000. There are 200,000 unwanted babies annually. 400,000
Thai women undergo abortions every year. UNICEF has placed
Thailand on top of the list for teen pregnancies in Asia. A survey
in 2010 showed that out of 760,000 born, 411,000 died which
means that a number of mothers decided for abortion.
Causes of Teen Pregnancy

1. Early marriage
2. Adolescent sexual behaviour alcohol and drugs
3.Lack of sex education
4.Peer pressure
5. Sexual abuse - rape
6. Poverty
7. Exposure to abuse, violence and
family strife at home
8. Low self esteem/ Desperation
9. Low educational ambitions and goals
10. Media, social networks
Impacts
Psychosocial
The Mother
A teen mother is more likely to:
• drop out of school
• have no or low qualifications
• be unemployed or low-paid
• live in poor housing conditions
• suffer from depression which may
result in suicide
• live on welfare
• Single parenthood

Psychological
risk
>Depression
>Anger
>Post partum
blues
>Hatred towards
the baby and
father of baby
>child abuse
Impacts
Psychosocial
The Child
The child of a teen mother is more likely to:
1) live in poverty
2) grow up without a father
3) become a victim of neglect or abuse
4) do less well at school
5) become involved in crime
6) abuse drugs and alcohol
7) eventually become a teenage parent and begin
the cycle all over again
8) Emotionally disturbed, may show abnormalities because of the
mother’s negative feelings during pregnancy
SOCIAL RISKS
1) Rejection by the
community
2) Rejection by the
family
3) Denial of
pregnancy by the
male culprit
4) Lack of social
support at delivery
and early post
partum period
5) Abortion
Medical Impact
1) Research indicates that
pregnant teens are less likely to
receive prenatal care, often
seeking it only in the third
trimester, if at all.
2) As a result of insufficient
prenatal care, the global
incidence of premature births
and low birth weight is higher
amongst teenage mothers.
3) Risks for medical
complications are greater for
girls 14 years of age and
younger, as an underdeveloped
pelvis can lead to difficulties in
childbirth.
· Young

women under 20 face a
higher risk of obstructed labour,
which if Caesarean section is not
available can cause an obstetric
fistula, a tear in the birth canal that
creates leakage of urine and/or
faeces. At least 2 million of the
world’s poorest women live with
fistulas.
· Complications during pregnancy
and delivery are the leading causes
of death for girls aged 15 to 19 in
developing countries. They are
twice as likely to die in childbirth as
women in their 20s.
· Teenage girls account for 14% of
the estimated 20 million unsafe
abortions performed each year,
which result in some 68,000 deaths
As a result of unprotected
sex, young people are also
at risk of sexually
transmitted diseases and
HIV infection.
· The highest rates of STIs
worldwide are among
young people aged 15 to
24. Some 500,000 become
infected daily (excluding
HIV).
· Two in five new HIV
infections globally occur in
young people aged 15 to
24.
HOW TO PREVENT
TEENAGE PREGNANCY
1) ABSTINENCE
> This is when a person decides not to
have sex until he/she is married
> This is still the best way to avoid
unwanted pregnancy.
 Some people say everyone is doing
it: Which accounts for all the misery
that single parents, neglected and
abandoned children have today
 Boys: Do not force a girl to have sex
with you just to prove that she loves
you. Even fathers of aborted children
experience guilt, too.
 Girls: A boy who wants you to prove
your love for him through sex does
not really love you or respect you
and is not a responsible person.
IF YOU CHOOSE
ABSTINENCE, THESE ARE
OTHER STEPS THAT CAN
PROTECT YOU
A) CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS
CAREFULLY
 Hang around with sensible people,
not people who have a bad influence
on you like those who bring you to
bars, encourage you to engage in
vices, see bad movies, etc.
B) BEWARE OF SITUATIONS
WHERE A GROUP OF
FRIENDS DANCE, DRINK
OR TAKE DRUGS THAT
CAN LEAD TO UNSAFE SEX
> Intoxication distorts your sensible
decision making, takes away your
inhibitions and can make you totally
unconscious which may make you a
victim of date rape
C) AVOID WATCHING TV SERIES
OR MOVIES THAT MAKE YOU
EMOTIONAL
> The theme of most movies today are
love stories that only portray the
emotional side of a relationship.
Ex.: A rich girl falls in love with a not-sorich guy. Of course, the parents do not
approve of the relationship so they elope.
The parents are portrayed to be the
villains or the anti-heroes while the lovers
are the heroes. This kind of show can
distort the decision making of young
people.
Another example: Boy meets girl, they
have a conversation and the next scene is
a bed scene after a few hours. If young
people see this very often they will think
that this is how it should be done which is
entirely unwise or very dangerous.
D) AVOID MOVIES WITH SEX
THEMES

 The media is to be blamed for so
many ruined lives today.
 Movies, TV drama series portray
sex as a very spontaneous
matter. It kind of just happens
which should not be.
 Also the media portrays sex as
just another form of
entertainment or amusement.
Some young people do not
realize that playing with it will
bring them a life in which they
cannot develop to their full
potential
> Pornography portrays a distorted
view of women as just toys or play
things they can manipulate as they
wish. Students who view porn
study less thus academic
performance is not as it should be
1

D) LISTEN TO, APPRECIATE
AND DO NOT RESENT THE
ADVICE OF YOUR PARENTS,
TEACHERS OR OTHER
ADULTS ABOUT YOUR
RELATIONSHIPS

 For some teenagers, when
they get to have a boyfriend
or girlfriend, it becomes “you
and me against the world.”
 If your parents put
restrictions on you, it does
not mean that they want you
to suffer or to live a boring
life. They just want the best
for you and they want to
protect you.
E) HAVE A VISION FOR
YOUR FUTURE
 Aim high: Aim to be somebody
someday, aim to have a fulfilling
job, marry an accomplished
person, to buy a beautiful house,
a cool car, bring your kids to the
best schools and get the coolest
degrees.
F) STUDY HARD
 Achieve according to your
ability or try to improve your
ability. This will keep you busy.
 Some people are underachievers. The perform below
the level of their ability. Maybe
they are not focused enough or
not ambitious enough
G) HAVE VALUE SYSTEM
WHETHER RELIGIOUS OR
MORAL
 Most young people do not have
principles or standards that will
guide them in their lives
 Make a decision to do what is right
and you will reap the benefits in the
future
 Do not be like a dead fish that goes
with the current. Be like a fish that
is alive that can swim against the
current
H) DRESS DECENTLY
 Women use sex to get love and men
use love to get sex
 Women dress indecently to catch
the attention of men. Men play the
game and pretend to love the girl
sincerely but the real motive is to
get her to have sex with him.
I) DATING
A) When dating, make sure you have a
chaperon or company. Do not go
alone as a couple
B) Engage in activities like sports,
going to the gym, hiking, biking or
going to the carnival.
Dates should be well-planned
and there should be a time limit.
These date should allow you to
know each other like what is
his/her reaction to an
unpleasant situation
C) Avoid dinner dates and picnics in
which all you do is talk and talk.
When you run out of topic, that is
the time when it becomes physical
and sexual.
